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

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

Scenario description

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

  • UNIFI supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • UNIFI supports Automated user provisioning.

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

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with UNIFI 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 UNIFI.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with UNIFI, 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 UNIFI SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create UNIFI test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in UNIFI 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 UNIFI application integration page, find the Manage section and select single sign-on.

Create UNIFI test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon. UNIFI supports automatic user provisioning so no manual steps are required. Users are created automatically after successful authentication from the Azure AD.

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

  • Go to UNIFI 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 UNIFI 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 UNIFI 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 UNIFI 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 UNIFI 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.
