  • Artikkel

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

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to TAP App Security.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to TAP App Security 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.
  • TAP App Security single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  • TAP App Security supports SP initiated SSO.

  • TAP App Security supports Just In Time user provisioning.

To configure the integration of TAP App Security into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add TAP App Security 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 TAP App Security in the search box.
  4. Select TAP App Security 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.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for TAP App Security

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with TAP App Security 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 TAP App Security.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with TAP App Security, 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 TAP App Security SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create TAP App Security test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in TAP App Security that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
