Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with LoginRadius

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

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to LoginRadius.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to LoginRadius with their Azure AD accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

To configure Azure AD integration with LoginRadius, you need the following items:

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

Scenario description

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

  • LoginRadius supports SP initiated SSO.

Note

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

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

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with LoginRadius 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 LoginRadius.

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

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

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

      • Command to get the certificate for SP: openssl req -new -x509 -key lr.hub.loginradius.com.key -out lr.hub.loginradius.com.cert -days 3650 -subj /CN=lr.hub.loginradius.com

      Note

      Be sure to enter the certificate and certificate key values with the header and footer:

      • Certificate value example format: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----<certifciate value>-----END CERTIFICATE-----
      • Certificate key value example format: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----<certifciate key value>-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Next steps

Once you configure LoginRadius 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.
