Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Imagen

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Imagen with Microsoft Entra ID. Imagen is the cloud-native media asset management platform built to manage, enrich and distribute your organization large-scale, mission-critical video files and drive value from your content. When you integrate Imagen with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Imagen in a test environment. Imagen supports SP initiated single sign-on and Just In Time user provisioning.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Imagen, you need:

• A Microsoft Entra user account. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
• One of the following roles: Application Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, or Application Owner.
• A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
• Imagen single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Imagen application from the Microsoft Entra gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.

Add Imagen from the Microsoft Entra gallery

Add Imagen from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Imagen. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the Quickstart: Add application from the gallery.

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

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

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, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards..

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Complete the following steps to enable Microsoft Entra single sign-on.

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

2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Imagen > 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, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

   

5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:

   a. In the Identifier textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.imagencloud.com/sp-entityid

   b. In the Reply URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.imagencloud.com/saml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/imagenweb

   c. In the Sign on URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.imagencloud.com/site/login

   Note

   These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign on URL. Contact Imagen support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

6. Imagen 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.

   

7. In addition to above, Imagen 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
   urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3	user.mail
   urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.10	user.userprincipalname
   Groups	user.groups

8. On the Set-up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

   

9. On the Set up Imagen section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

   

Configure Imagen SSO

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

Create Imagen test user

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

Test SSO

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

• Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Imagen Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

• You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Imagen tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Imagen Sign-on URL. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.

Once you configure Imagen 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 Cloud App Security.
