Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with IamIP Platform

  • Стаття

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

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

Scenario description

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

  • IamIP Platform supports SP-initiated and IDP-initiated SSO.
  • IamIP Platform 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.

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

To configure single sign-on on IamIP Platform side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to IamIP Platform support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create IamIP Platform test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in IamIP Platform. IamIP Platform supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in IamIP Platform, 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 IamIP Platform Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to IamIP Platform 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 IamIP Platform 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 IamIP Platform 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 IamIP Platform for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure IamIP Platform 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 Defender for Cloud Apps.
