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

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Stackby.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Stackby 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.
  • Stackby single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
  • Along with Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator can also add or manage applications in Microsoft Entra ID. For more information, see Azure built-in roles.

Scenario description

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

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

To configure the integration of Stackby into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Stackby from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

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.

    1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure Stackby SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Stackby test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Stackby that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.

Configure Stackby SSO

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

Create Stackby test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Stackby. Stackby 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 Stackby, a new one is 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, and you should be automatically signed in to the Stackby for which you set up the SSO.

  • You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Stackby tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Stackby for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure Stackby 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.
