Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Zivver

  • Article

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Zivver with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Zivver with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

Prerequisites

To configure Microsoft Entra integration with Zivver, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra environment, you can get a free account.
  • Zivver single sign-on enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  • Zivver supports IDP 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 Zivver into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Zivver from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type Zivver in the search box.
  4. Select Zivver from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

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, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Zivver

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Zivver using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Zivver.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Zivver, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure Zivver SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Zivver test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Zivver that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
