  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Delivery Solutions with Microsoft Entra ID. Delivery Solutions is an OXM platform that enables your omni channel strategy via same-day delivery, curbside, in-store pickup, shipping & post-purchase channels. When you integrate Delivery Solutions with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Delivery Solutions in a test environment. Delivery Solutions supports both SP and IDP initiated single sign-on and Just In Time user provisioning.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Delivery Solutions, you need:

  • A Microsoft Entra user account. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
  • One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • Delivery Solutions single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Delivery Solutions 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 Delivery Solutions from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Delivery Solutions. 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..

Create Delivery Solutions test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Delivery Solutions. Delivery Solutions supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Delivery Solutions, a new one is commonly created after authentication.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Delivery Solutions Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Delivery Solutions Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the Delivery Solutions 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 Delivery Solutions 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 Delivery Solutions for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
