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

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

To learn more about software as a service (SaaS) app integration with Azure AD, see What is application access and single sign-on with Azure Active Directory?.

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.
SiteIntel single sign-on (SSO)-enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

SiteIntel supports SP-initiated and IdP-initiated SSO.
After you configure SiteIntel, 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.

Add SiteIntel from the gallery

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

Sign in to the Azure portal by using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
On the left pane, select Azure Active Directory.
Go to Enterprise Applications, and then select All Applications.
To add a new application, select New application.
In the Add from the gallery box, enter SiteIntel.
In the results list, select SiteIntel, and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for SiteIntel

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with SiteIntel by 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 SiteIntel.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with SiteIntel, complete the following building blocks:

Configure Azure AD SSO to enable your users to use this feature.

a. Create an Azure AD test user to test Azure AD single sign-on with user B.Simon.

b. Assign the Azure AD test user to enable user B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
Configure SiteIntel SSO to configure the single sign-on settings on the application side.
- Create a SiteIntel test user to have a counterpart of user B.Simon in SiteIntel that's linked to the Azure AD representation of the user.
Test SSO to verify that the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD SSO

To enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal, do the following:

In the Azure portal, on the SiteIntel application integration page, go to the Manage section, and then select single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, next to Basic SAML Configuration, select Edit (pen icon).
To configure the application in IdP-initiated mode, in the Basic SAML Configuration section, do the following:

a. In the Identifier box, type a URL in the following format: urn:amazon:cognito:sp:<REGION>_<USERPOOLID>

b. In the Reply URL box, type a URL in the following format: https://<CLIENT>.auth.siteintel.com/saml2/idpresponse

c. In the Relay State box, type a URL in the following format: https://<CLIENT>.siteintel.com
To configure the application in SP-initiated mode, select Set additional URLs, and then do the following:
- In the Sign-on URL box, type a URL in the following format: https://<CLIENT>.siteintel.com
Note

These values are not real. Update them with the actual Identifier, Reply URL, Sign-on URL, and Relay State. To get these values, contact SiteIntel Client support team. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, select the Copy button to copy the URL in the App Federation Metadata Url box.

Create an Azure AD test user

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

On the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory > Users > All users.
Select New user at the top of the pane.
In User properties, do the following:

a. In the Name box, enter B.Simon.

b. In the User name box, enter the username in the following format: username@companydomain.extension (for example, B.Simon@contoso.com).

c. Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.

d. Select Create.

Assign the Azure AD test user

In this section, you enable user B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to SiteIntel.

In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications > All applications.
In the Applications list, select SiteIntel.
On the app overview page, in the Manage section, select Users and groups.
Select Add user and then, on the Add Assignment pane, select Users and groups.
On the Users and groups pane, select B.Simon, and then select the Select button at the lower part of the screen.
If you're expecting any role value in the SAML assertion, on the Select Role pane, select the appropriate role for the user from the list, and then select the Select button.
On the Add Assignment pane, select the Assign button.

Configure SiteIntel SSO

To configure single sign-on on the SiteIntel side, send the URL you copied from the App Federation Metadata Url box to the SiteIntel support team. They set this value to establish the SAML SSO connection properly on both sides.

Create a SiteIntel test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in SiteIntel. Work with SiteIntel support team to add the users in the SiteIntel platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration by using the Access Panel.

When you select the SiteIntel tile in the Access Panel, you should be automatically signed in to the SiteIntel for which you set up SSO. For more information about the Access Panel, see Introduction to the Access Panel.
