Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Kion (formerly cloudtamer.io)

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

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

Scenario description

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

  • Kion supports IDP initiated SSO.
  • Kion supports Just In Time user provisioning.

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

  2. Configure Kion SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Kion test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Kion that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
  4. Group assertions - to set group assertions for Microsoft Entra ID and Kion.
