# Integrating Azure for SSO

This guide provides the details about Britive and Azure SSO integration.

## Configuration Steps

### Configuring an Identity Provider on Britive

An identity provider needs to be created in Britive for SSO.

1. Log in to the Britive application with administrator privileges.
2. Click on **System admin**->**Identity Management** from the navigation menu.
3. Click on the **Identity Providers** tab.
4. Click on the **Add Identity Provider** button.
5. Enter name and description.
6. Select **Identity Provider Type** as SAML.
7. Click **Add**. A configuration page is displayed.

### Configuring SSO on Britive

1. Click on the **Edit** icon under **SSO Provider** in the **SSO Configuration** tab.
2. Select **Azure**from the drop-down list.
3. Save the changes by clicking the icon next to the selection.
4. Keep note of the URLs listed here; they are required to complete the SSO configuration on the Identity Provider Portal.

### Configuring Azure for SSO

It is highly recommended to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the Britive application. For more information, see [Microsoft Entra Multi-Factor Authentication](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-howitworks).

Follow the steps below for configuring SAML between Microsoft Entra ID and the Britive app:

1. Log in to the [Microsoft Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) with permission to create SAML applications.
2. From the portal menu, click on **Microsoft Entra ID**.
3. Click on **Enterprise applications** from the navigation menu.
4. Click on the **+ New application** button.
5. Search for **Britive** from the **Enterprise Applications** gallery.
6. Select **Britive** from the results panel.
7. Britive application details are displayed. Change the application name, if required.
8. Click **Create**.
9. Click on **Set up single sign on** from the Getting Started section.
10. Click on **SAML**.
11. Edit the **Basic SAML Configuration**. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** page, enter the values from the Britive **SSO Configuration**page:
  1. Copy the Audience/Entity ID value from the Britive **SSO configuration** page into the **Identifier (Entity ID)** field.
  2. Copy the Assertion Consumer URL value from the Britive **SSO configuration** page into the **Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)** field.
  3. Copy the “Initiate SSO URL” value from the Britive **SSO configuration** page into the **Sign on URL** field.
  4. Copy the “Single Logout URL” from the Britive **SSO configuration** page to the **Logout Url** field. (This step is optional and logs out the user from the Azure portal when they click logout on the Britive app.)
  5. Click **Save**.
12. Edit User Attributes & Claims.
13. The Name ID claim should be mapped to *user.userprincipalname*. This is done by default. Change it if it is not already mapped.

For more information about integrating Microsoft Entra ID with Britive, see [Tutorial: Configure Britive for single sign-on (SSO) with Microsoft Entra ID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/britive-tutorial).

### Configuring SSO metadata on Britive

To complete the SSO configuration, the SAML metadata from the identity provider needs to be imported into the Britive application.

Follow the steps below to complete the SSO configuration:

1. Log in to the Britive application with administrator privileges.
2. Click on **Admin**->**Identity Management**.
3. Click on the **Identity Providers** tab.
4. Click on the required identity provider.
5. Click on **Upload SAML Metadata**. Browse to the identity provider's SAML metadata that was downloaded during configuration of the identity provider.
6. Upon successful upload, the SAML settings are displayed.
