  • You can control in Azure AD who has access to Vidyard.
  • You can enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Vidyard (Single Sign-On) with their Azure AD accounts.
  • You can manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

If you want to know more details about SaaS app integration with Azure AD, see What is application access and single sign-on with Azure Active Directory. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

  • An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have an Azure AD environment, you can get a free account
  • Vidyard single sign-on enabled subscription

Scenario description

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

  • Vidyard supports SP and IDP initiated SSO

  • Vidyard supports Just In Time user provisioning

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

Configure and test Azure AD single sign-on

In this section, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with Vidyard based on a test user called Britta Simon. For single sign-on to work, a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Vidyard needs to be established.

To configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with Vidyard, you need to complete the following building blocks:

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