Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with webMethods Integration Suite
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate webMethods Integration Suite with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate webMethods Integration Suite with Azure AD, you can:
- Control in Azure AD who has access to webMethods Integration Suite.
- Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to webMethods Integration Suite 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.
- webMethods Integration Suite single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Scenario description
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on in a test environment.
webMethods Integration Suite supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
webMethods Integration Suite supports just-in-time user provisioning.
Add webMethods Integration Suite from the gallery
To configure the integration of webMethods Integration Suite into Azure AD, you need to add webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite in the search box.
- Select webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite.
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with webMethods Integration Suite, 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 webMethods Integration Suite SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create webMethods Integration Suite test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite 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.

To configure the webMethods Integration Cloud, on the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps:
a. In the Identifier text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Identifier URL <SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.com<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.eu<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.deb. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Reply URL https://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.com/integration/live/saml/ssoResponsehttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.eu/integration/live/saml/ssoResponsehttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.de/integration/live/saml/ssoResponsec. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:
d. In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Sign-on URL https://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.com/integration/live/saml/ssoRequesthttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.eu/integration/live/saml/ssoRequesthttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.de/integration/live/saml/ssoRequestNote
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign-on URL. Contact webMethods Integration Suite Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.
To configure the webMethods API Cloud, on the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps:
a. In the Identifier text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Identifier URL <SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.com<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.eu<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.deb. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Reply URL https://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.com/umc/rest/saml/initssohttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.eu/umc/rest/saml/initssohttps://<SUBDOMAIN>.webmethodscloud.de/umc/rest/saml/initssoc. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:
d. In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Sign-on URL https://api.webmethodscloud.com/umc/rest/saml/initsso/?tenant=<TENANTID>https://api.webmethodscloud.eu/umc/rest/saml/initsso/?tenant=<TENANTID>https://api.webmethodscloud.de/umc/rest/saml/initsso/?tenant=<TENANTID>Note
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign-on URL. Contact webMethods Integration Suite Client support team to get these values. 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, click Download to download the Federation Metadata XML from the given options as per your requirement and save it on your computer.

On the Set up webMethods Integration Suite section, copy the appropriate URL(s) as per your requirement.

Configure webMethods Integration Suite SSO
To configure single sign-on on webMethods Integration Suite side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to webMethods Integration Suite support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
Create webMethods Integration Suite test user
In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in webMethods Integration Suite. webMethods Integration Suite supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in webMethods Integration Suite, a new one is created after authentication.
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 webMethods Integration Suite Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite 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 webMethods Integration Suite 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.
