Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Lusha

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Lusha with Microsoft Entra ID. Lusha is a sales intelligence solution that delivers instant and accurate contact and company data to help leading sales, marketing, and recruitment teams speed up sales with less work. When you integrate Lusha with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

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

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Lusha, 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.
• Lusha 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 Lusha 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 Lusha from the Microsoft Entra gallery

Add Lusha from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Lusha. 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 > Lusha > 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, the user doesn't have to perform any step as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.

6. If you want to configure SP initiated SSO, then perform the following step:

   In the Sign on URL textbox, type the URL: https://auth.lusha.com/sso-login

7. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.

   

Configure Lusha SSO

To configure single sign-on on Lusha side, you need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to Lusha support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Lusha test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Lusha. Lusha 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 Lusha, 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, this will redirect to Lusha Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

IDP initiated:

• Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the Lusha 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 Lusha 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 Lusha for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
