Submit a request to publish your application in Microsoft Entra application gallery

  • Straipsnis

You can publish applications you develop in the Microsoft Entra application gallery, which is a catalog of thousands of apps. When you publish your applications, they're made publicly available for users to add to their tenants. For more information, see Overview of the Microsoft Entra application gallery.

To publish your application in the Microsoft Entra application gallery, you need to complete the following tasks:

  • Make sure that you complete the prerequisites.
  • Create and publish documentation.
  • Submit your application.
  • Join the Microsoft partner network.

Note

We are currently not accepting new SSO or provisioning requests while we focus on the Secure Future Initiative. Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis.

Prerequisites

To publish your application in the gallery, you must first read and agree to specific terms and conditions.

  • Implement support for single sign-on (SSO). To learn more about supported options, see Plan a single sign-on deployment.

    • For password SSO, make sure that your application supports form authentication so that password vaulting can be used.

    • For federated applications (SAML/WS-Fed), the application should preferably support software-as-a-service (SaaS) model but it is not mandatory and it can be an on-premises application as well. Enterprise gallery applications must support multiple user configurations and not any specific user.

    • For OpenID Connect, most applications work well as a multitenant application implementing the Microsoft Entra consent framework. Refer to this link to convert the application into multitenant. If your application requires additional per-instance configuration, such as customers needing to control their own secrets and certificates, you can publish a single-tenant Open ID Connect application.

  • Provisioning is optional yet highly recommended. To learn more about Microsoft Entra SCIM, see build a SCIM endpoint and configure user provisioning with Microsoft Entra ID.

You can sign up for a free, test Development account. It's free for 90 days and you get all of the premium Microsoft Entra features with it. You can also extend the account if you use it for development work: Join the Microsoft 365 Developer Program.

Create and publish documentation

Provide app documentation for your site

Ease of adoption is an important factor for those that make decisions about enterprise software. Documentation that is clear and easy to follow helps your users adopt technology and it reduces support costs.

Create documentation that includes the following information at minimum:

  • An introduction to your SSO functionality
    • Protocols
    • Version and SKU
    • List of supported identity providers with documentation links
  • Licensing information for your application
  • Role-based access control for configuring SSO
  • SSO Configuration Steps
    • UI configuration elements for SAML with expected values from the provider
    • Service provider information to be passed to identity providers
  • If you use OIDC/OAuth, a list of permissions required for consent, with business justifications
  • Testing steps for pilot users
  • Troubleshooting information, including error codes and messages
  • Support mechanisms for users
  • Details about your SCIM endpoint, including supported resources and attributes

App documentation on the Microsoft site

When your SAML application is added to the gallery, documentation is created that explains the step-by-step process. For an example, see Tutorials for integrating SaaS applications with Microsoft Entra ID. This documentation is created based on your submission to the gallery. You can easily update the documentation if you make changes to your application by using your GitHub account.

For OIDC application, there is no application specific documentation, we have only the generic tutorial for all the OpenID Connect applications.

Submit your application

After you've tested that your application works with Microsoft Entra ID, submit your application request in the Microsoft Application Network portal.

If you see a "Request Access" page, then fill in the business justification and select Request Access.

After your account is added, you can sign in to the Microsoft Application Network portal and submit the request by selecting the Submit Request (ISV) tile on the home page. If you see the "Your sign-in was blocked" error while logging in, see Troubleshoot sign-in to the Microsoft Application Network portal.

Implementation-specific options

On the application Registration form, select the feature that you want to enable. Select OpenID Connect & OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0/WS-Fed, or Password SSO(UserName & Password) depending on the feature that your application supports.

If you're implementing a SCIM 2.0 endpoint for user provisioning, select User Provisioning (SCIM 2.0). Download the schema to provide in the onboarding request. For more information, see Export provisioning configuration and roll back to a known good state. The schema that you configured is used when testing the non-gallery application to build the gallery application.

If you wish to register an MDM application in the Microsoft Entra application gallery, select Register an MDM app.

You can track application requests by customer name at the Microsoft Application Network portal. For more information, see Application requests by Customers.

You can submit your application update request in the Microsoft Application Network portal.

If you see a "Request Access" page, then fill in the business justification and select Request Access.

After the account is added, you can sign in to the Microsoft Application Network portal and submit the request by selecting the Submit Request (ISV) tile on the home page and select Update my application’s listing in the gallery and select one of the following options as per your choice -

  • If you want to update an application's SSO feature, select Update my application’s Federated SSO feature.

  • If you want to update Password SSO feature, select Update my application’s Password SSO feature.

  • If you want to upgrade your listing from Password SSO to Federated SSO, select Upgrade my application from Password SSO to Federated SSO.

  • If you want to update an MDM listing, select Update my MDM app.

  • If you want to update an existing User Provisioning integration, select Improve my application’s User Provisioning feature.

  • If you want to remove the application from Microsoft Entra application gallery, select Remove my application listing from the gallery.

If you see the Your sign-in was blocked error while logging in, see Troubleshoot sign-in to the Microsoft Application Network portal.
