Tutorial: Integrate RingCentral with Microsoft Entra ID

  • บทความ

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

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

Note

This integration is also available to use from Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud Application Gallery and configure it in the same way as you do from public cloud.

Scenario description

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

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

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with RingCentral using a test user called Britta Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in RingCentral.

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