In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Insight4GRC with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Insight4GRC with Azure AD, you can:

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to Insight4GRC.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Insight4GRC with their Azure AD accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • Insight4GRC single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Note

This integration is also available to use from Azure AD US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Azure AD 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 Azure AD single sign-on in a test environment.

  • Insight4GRC supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • Insight4GRC supports Just In Time user provisioning.
  • Insight4GRC supports Automated user provisioning.

To configure the integration of Insight4GRC into Azure AD, you need to add Insight4GRC from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
  2. On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
  3. Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
  4. To add new application, select New application.
  5. In the Add from the gallery section, type Insight4GRC in the search box.
  6. Select Insight4GRC from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Configure and test Azure AD SSO for Insight4GRC

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Insight4GRC using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Insight4GRC.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Insight4GRC, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with Britta Simon.
    2. Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
  2. Configure Insight4GRC SSO - to configure the Single Sign-On settings on application side.
    1. Create Insight4GRC test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in Insight4GRC that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD SSO

Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.

  1. In the Azure portal, on the Insight4GRC application integration page, find the Manage section and select single sign-on.

  2. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  3. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Edit Basic SAML Configuration

  4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, If you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps:

    a. In the Identifier text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.Insight4GRC.com/SAML

    b. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.Insight4GRC.com/auth/saml/sp/assertion-consumer-service

  5. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.Insight4GRC.com

    Note

    These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign-on URL. Contact Insight4GRC Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

  6. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, In the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.

Create an Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.

  1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
  2. Select New user at the top of the screen.
  3. In the User properties, follow these steps:
    1. In the Name field, enter B.Simon.
    2. In the User name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example, B.Simon@contoso.com.
    3. Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
    4. Click Create.

Assign the Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Insight4GRC.

  1. In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.
  2. In the applications list, select Insight4GRC.
  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
  4. Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
  5. In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
  6. If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.
  7. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.

Configure Insight4GRC SSO

To configure single sign-on on Insight4GRC side, you need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to Insight4GRC support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Insight4GRC test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Insight4GRC. Insight4GRC 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 Insight4GRC, a new one is created after authentication.

Note

Insight4GRC also supports automatic user provisioning, you can find more details here on how to configure automatic user provisioning.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Insight4GRC Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Insight4GRC Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Insight4GRC 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 Insight4GRC 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 Insight4GRC for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure Insight4GRC 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.
