Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with Tradeshift
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Tradeshift with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Tradeshift with Azure AD, you can:
- Control in Azure AD who has access to Tradeshift.
- Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Tradeshift 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.
- Tradeshift single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Scenario description
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.
- Tradeshift supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
Adding Tradeshift from the gallery
To configure the integration of Tradeshift into Azure AD, you need to add Tradeshift from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
- Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
- On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
- Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
- To add new application, select New application.
- In the Add from the gallery section, type Tradeshift in the search box.
- Select Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift.
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Tradeshift, perform the following steps:
- Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
- Configure Tradeshift SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create Tradeshift test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Tradeshift that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
Configure Azure AD SSO
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
In the Azure portal, on the Tradeshift application integration page, find the Manage section and 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, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

On the Basic SAML Configuration section, the user does not have to perform any steps as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.
Click Set additional URLs and perform the following steps if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:
a. In the Sign-on URL text box, type the URL:
https://go.tradeshift.comb. In the Relay State text box, type the URL:
https://go.tradeshift.comClick Save.
Tradeshift application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.

In addition to above, Tradeshift application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.
Name Source Attribute urn:oid:2.5.4.42 user.givenname urn:oid:2.5.4.4 user.surname urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 user.userprincipalname urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3 user.mail On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

On the Set up Tradeshift section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

Create an Azure AD test user
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
- From the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
- Select New user at the top of the screen.
- In the User properties, follow these steps:
- In the Name field, enter
B.Simon. - In the User name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example,
B.Simon@contoso.com. - Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
- Click Create.
- In the Name field, enter
Assign the Azure AD test user
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Tradeshift.
- In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.
- In the applications list, select Tradeshift.
- In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
- Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
- In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
- 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.
- In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
Configure Tradeshift SSO
To configure single sign-on on Tradeshift side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to Tradeshift support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
Create Tradeshift test user
In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in Tradeshift. Work with Tradeshift support team to add the users in the Tradeshift 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 with following options.
SP initiated:
Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Tradeshift Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift 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 Tradeshift 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.
