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

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to Upshotly.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Upshotly 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.
  • Upshotly single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  • Upshotly supports SP and IDP initiated SSO

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

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Upshotly 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 Upshotly.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Upshotly, 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 Upshotly SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Upshotly test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Upshotly 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 Upshotly 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 edit/pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Edit Basic SAML Configuration

  4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, the application is pre-configured and the necessary URLs are already pre-populated with Azure. The user needs to save the configuration by clicking the Save button.

  5. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://app.upshotly.com/api/sso/login/<companyID>

    Note

    The Sign-on URL value is not real. Update this values with the actual Sign-on URL. You will get the companyID value explained later in the tutorial. Contact Upshotly Client support team for queries. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

  6. 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.

Create an Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.

  1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
  2. Select New user at the top of the screen.
  3. In the User properties, follow these steps:
    1. In the Name field, enter B.Simon.
    2. In the User name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example, B.Simon@contoso.com.
    3. Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
    4. Click Create.

Assign the Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Upshotly.

  1. In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.

  2. In the applications list, select Upshotly.

  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.

  4. Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.

  5. In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.

  6. If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.

  7. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.

Configure Upshotly SSO

  1. To automate the configuration within Upshotly, you need to install My Apps Secure Sign-in browser extension by clicking Install the extension.

    My apps extension

  2. After adding extension to the browser, click on Set up Upshotly will direct you to the Upshotly application. From there, provide the admin credentials to sign into Upshotly. The browser extension will automatically configure the application for you and automate steps 3-4.

    Setup configuration

  3. If you want to setup Upshotly manually, in a different web browser window, sign in to your Upshotly company site as an administrator.

  4. Click on the User Profile and navigate to Admin > SSO and perform the following steps:

    Upshotly Configuration

    a. Copy the Company ID value and use this Company ID value to replace Company ID value present in the Sign On URL in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

    b. Open downloaded Federation metadata XML from Azure portal into Notepad, copy the content of metadata XML and paste it into XML metadata textbox.

Create Upshotly test user

In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Upshotly Edge Cloud. Work with Upshotly Client support team to add the users in the Upshotly Edge Cloud platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Upshotly Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Upshotly 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 Upshotly 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 Upshotly 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 Upshotly 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 Upshotly 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.
