Microsoft Entra SSO integration with TrustWorks

  • Alt

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

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

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with TrustWorks, you need:

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

Scenario description

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

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

To configure the integration of TrustWorks into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add TrustWorks 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 TrustWorks in the search box.
  4. Select TrustWorks 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, and walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for TrustWorks

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with TrustWorks 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 TrustWorks.

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

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

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > TrustWorks > Single sign-on.

  3. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  4. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, the user does not have to perform any step as the app is already preintegrated with Microsoft Entra.

  6. Perform the following step, if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type one of the following URLs:

    Sign on URL
    https://app.trustworks.io
    https://dev-app.trustworks.io
    https://qa-app.trustworks.io

  7. TrustWorks application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.

    Screenshot shows the image of attributes configuration.

  8. In addition to above, TrustWorks application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.

    Name Source Attribute
    groups user.groups
    employeeid user.employeeid
    roles user.assignedroles

    4. Select Review + create.
  5. Select Create.

Assign the Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on by granting access to TrustWorks.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > TrustWorks.

Configure TrustWorks SSO

To configure single sign-on on TrustWorks side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from Microsoft Entra admin center to TrustWorks support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create TrustWorks test user

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

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to TrustWorks Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to TrustWorks Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center and you should be automatically signed in to the TrustWorks for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the TrustWorks 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 TrustWorks for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure TrustWorks 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.
