Setup steps

What is needed from the customer to set up the SSO (single sign-on) on Entra ID (Azure AD) platform using SAML protocol?

1. Customer sets up the first app in Azure AD: ADPOINT Java UI:

1.1. Basic SAML Configuration

ADPOINT 7.x

Identifier (Entity ID): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml
Sign-on URL: https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml

ADPOINT X1 and later

Identifier (Entity ID): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml/saml2/service-provider-metadata/azure
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml
Sign-on URL: https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml

Compared to the previous version please note that Identifier (Entity ID) has some suffix added.

1.2. User Attributes & Claims

1.2.1. Required claim
Unique User Identifier (Name ID): user.userprincipalname

1.2.2. Additional claims
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress: user.mail
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname: user.givenname
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name: user.userprincipalname
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname: user.surname

1.2.3. Add a group claim
Choose: All groups
Source attribute: Group ID
A new additional claim should appear: http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/groups user.groups

1.3. Assign users and roles.

2. Customer sets up the second app: ADPOINT Web Client (if needed)

Identifier (Entity ID): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml2/saml2/service-provider-metadata/azure
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml2
Sign-on URL: https://xyz-test.integration-x.com/sso-saml2

3. Customer sends to Integration X:

  1. "App Federation Metadata URL" from “SAML Certificates” section. It has to contain “appid” param with a value at the end.

  2. Information about groups and roles.
