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

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to Phenom TXM.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Phenom TXM 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.
  • Phenom TXM single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
  • Along with Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator can also add or manage applications in Azure AD. For more information, see Azure built-in roles.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

  • Phenom TXM supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.

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

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Phenom TXM, 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 Phenom TXM SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Phenom TXM test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM 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.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Go to Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM 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 Phenom TXM 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.
