Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with Proxyclick

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

• Control in Azure AD who has access to Proxyclick.
• Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Proxyclick 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.
• Proxyclick single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you'll configure and test Azure AD single sign-on in a test environment.

• Proxyclick supports SP-initiated and IdP-initiated SSO.

• Proxyclick supports Automated user provisioning.

Add Proxyclick from the gallery

To configure the integration of Proxyclick into Azure AD, you need to add Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick in the search box.
6. Select Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Proxyclick, 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 B.Simon.
   2. Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
2. Configure Proxyclick SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
   1. Create Proxyclick test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick 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.

   

4. In the Basic SAML Configuration dialog box, if you want to configure the application in IdP-initiated mode, perform the following steps.

   b. In the Reply URL box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://saml.proxyclick.com/consume/<COMPANY_ID>

5. If you want to configure the application in SP-initiated mode, select Set additional URLs. In the Sign on URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern:

   https://saml.proxyclick.com/init/<COMPANY_ID>

   Note

   These values are placeholders. You need to use the actual Identifier,Reply URL and Sign on URL. Steps for getting these values are described later in this tutorial.

6. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, select the Download link next to Certificate (Base64), per your requirements, and save the certificate on your computer:

Note

Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

• Go to Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick 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 Proxyclick 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.
