Tutorial: Microsoft Entra integration with Deputy

  • Artikkeli

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Deputy with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Deputy with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Deputy.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Deputy with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • Deputy single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

  • Deputy supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • Deputy supports Just In Time user provisioning.

To configure the integration of Deputy into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Deputy from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type Deputy in the search box.
  4. Select Deputy from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

  2. Configure Deputy SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Deputy test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Deputy that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
