Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Wrike

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Wrike using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Wrike.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Wrike, perform the following steps:

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
Configure Wrike SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
1. Create Wrike test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Wrike that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
Browse to Entra ID > Enterprise apps > Wrike > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode the user doesn't have to perform any step as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.
Select Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

In the Sign-on URL text box, type the URL: https://www.wrike.com/login/
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, select Download to download the Federation Metadata XML from the given options as per your requirement and save it on your computer.
On the Set up Wrike section, copy the appropriate URL(s) as per your requirement.

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

Follow the guidelines in the create and assign a user account quickstart to create a test user account called B.Simon.

Configure Wrike SSO

To configure single sign-on on Wrike side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Wrike support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Wrike test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Wrike. Wrike supports just-in-time provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Wrike, a new one is created when you attempt to access Wrike.

Note

If you need to create a user manually, contact Wrike support team.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

Select Test this application, this option redirects to Wrike Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Wrike Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

Select Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the Wrike for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you select the Wrike tile in the My Apps, if configured in SP mode you would be redirected to the application sign on page for initiating the login flow and if configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the Wrike for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Once you configure Wrike you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
