Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Aqua Platform

  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Aqua Platform with Microsoft Entra ID. Aqua Platform enables customers to securely build, scale and automate cloud native applications. When you integrate Aqua Platform with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Aqua Platform.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Aqua Platform with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Aqua Platform in a test environment. Aqua Platform supports only SP initiated single sign-on.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Aqua Platform, you need:

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Aqua Platform application from the Microsoft Entra gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.

Add Aqua Platform from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Aqua Platform. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the Quickstart: Add application from the gallery.

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

Follow the guidelines in the create and assign a user account article to create a test user account called B.Simon.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards..

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Complete the following steps to enable Microsoft Entra single sign-on.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Aqua Platform > Single sign-on.

  3. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  4. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:

    a. In the Identifier textbox, type one of the following values:

    Environment URL
    us-east-1 urn:amazon:cognito:sp:us-east-1_voZ9dTvpW
    Asia-1 urn:amazon:cognito:sp:ap-southeast-1_7AUN22FiF
    EU-1 urn:amazon:cognito:sp:eu-central-1_RAierVJ6g
    ASIA-2 urn:amazon:cognito:sp:ap-northeast-2_n4Oo1PAlV

    b. In the Reply URL textbox, type one of the following URLs:

    Environment URL
    us-east-1 https://cloudsploit.auth.us-east-1.amazoncognito.com/saml2/idpresponse
    Asia-1 https://auth-sg-prod.auth.ap-southeast-1.amazoncognito.com/saml2/idpresponse
    EU-1 https://auth-eu-prod.auth.eu-central-1.amazoncognito.com/saml2/idpresponse

    c. In the Sign on URL textbox, type the URL: https://cloud.aquasec.com/sso

  6. Aqua Platform 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.

  7. In addition to above, Aqua Platform 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
    cspmgroups user.department
    groups user.groups

  8. 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.

Configure Aqua Platform SSO

To configure single sign-on on Aqua Platform side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Aqua Platform support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
