Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with Arc Publishing - SSO

In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate Arc Publishing - SSO with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Integrating Arc Publishing - SSO with Azure AD provides you with the following benefits:

• You can control in Azure AD who has access to Arc Publishing - SSO.
• You can enable your users to automatically get signed-on to Arc Publishing - SSO (Single Sign-On) with their Azure AD accounts.
• You can manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

If you want to know more details about SaaS app integration with Azure AD, see what is application access and single sign-on with Azure Active Directory.

Prerequisites

To configure Azure AD integration with Arc Publishing - SSO, you need the following items:

• An Azure AD subscription
• An Arc Publishing - SSO single sign-on enabled subscription

Note

To test the steps in this tutorial, we do not recommend using a production environment.

To test the steps in this tutorial, you should follow these recommendations:

• Do not use your production environment, unless it is necessary.
• If you don't have an Azure AD trial environment, you can get a one-month trial.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you test Azure AD single sign-on in a test environment. The scenario outlined in this tutorial consists of two main building blocks:

1. Adding Arc Publishing - SSO from the gallery
2. Configuring and testing Azure AD single sign-on

Adding Arc Publishing - SSO from the gallery

To configure the integration of Arc Publishing - SSO into Azure AD, you need to add Arc Publishing - SSO from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

To add Arc Publishing - SSO from the gallery, perform the following steps:

1. In the Azure portal, on the left navigation panel, click Azure Active Directory icon.

   

2. Navigate to Enterprise applications. Then go to All applications.

   

3. To add new application, click New application button on the top of dialog.

   

4. In the search box, type Arc Publishing - SSO, select Arc Publishing - SSO from result panel then click Add button to add the application.

   

Configure and test Azure AD single sign-on

In this section, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with Arc Publishing - SSO based on a test user called "Britta Simon".

For single sign-on to work, Azure AD needs to know what the counterpart user in Arc Publishing - SSO is to a user in Azure AD. In other words, a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Arc Publishing - SSO needs to be established.

To configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with Arc Publishing - SSO, you need to complete the following building blocks:

1. Configure Azure AD Single Sign-On - to enable your users to use this feature.
2. Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with Britta Simon.
3. Create an Arc Publishing - SSO test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in Arc Publishing - SSO that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
4. Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
5. Test single sign-on - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD single sign-on

In this section, you enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal and configure single sign-on in your Arc Publishing - SSO application.

To configure Azure AD single sign-on with Arc Publishing - SSO, perform the following steps:

1. In the Azure portal, on the Arc Publishing - SSO application integration page, click Single sign-on.

   

2. On the Single sign-on dialog, select Mode as SAML-based Sign-on to enable single sign-on.

   

3. On the Arc Publishing - SSO Domain and URLs section, perform the following steps if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode:

   

   1. In the Identifier textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://www.okta.com/saml2/service-provider/<Unique ID>

   2. In the Reply URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://arcpublishing-<Customer>.okta.com/sso/saml2/<Unique ID>

4. Check Show advanced URL settings and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

   

   In the Sign-on URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://arcpublishing-<Customer>.okta.com/sso/saml2/<Unique ID>

   [!NOTE] These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL, and Sign-On URL. Contact Arc Publishing - SSO Client support team to get these values.

5. Arc Publishing - SSO application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format. Configure the following claims for this application. You can manage the values of these attributes from the User Attributes section on application integration page. The following screenshot shows an example for this.

   

6. In the User Attributes section on the Single sign-on dialog, configure SAML token attribute as shown in the image above and perform the following steps:

   Attribute Name	Attribute Value
   firstName	user.givenname
   lastName	user.surname
   email	user.mail
   groups	user.assignedroles

   1. Click Add attribute to open the Add Attribute dialog.

   

   

   1. In the Name textbox, type the attribute name shown for that row.

   2. From the Value list, type the attribute value shown for that row.

   3. Leave the Namespace blank.

   4. Click Ok

   [!NOTE] Here the groups attribute is mapped with user.assignedroles. These are custom roles created in Azure AD to map the group names back in application. You can find more guidance here on how to create custom roles in Azure AD.

7. On the SAML Signing Certificate section, click Certificate (Base64) and then save the certificate file on your computer.

   

8. Click Save button.

   

9. On the Arc Publishing - SSO Configuration section, click Configure Arc Publishing - SSO to open Configure sign-on window. Copy the Sign-Out URL, SAML Entity ID, and SAML Single Sign-On Service URL from the Quick Reference section.

   

10. To configure single sign-on on Arc Publishing - SSO side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64), Sign-Out URL, SAML Entity ID, and SAML Single Sign-On Service URL to Arc Publishing - SSO support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create an Azure AD test user

The objective of this section is to create a test user in the Azure portal called Britta Simon.

To create a test user in Azure AD, perform the following steps:

1. In the Azure portal, in the left pane, click the Azure Active Directory button.

   

2. To display the list of users, go to Users and groups, and then click All users.

   

3. To open the User dialog box, click Add at the top of the All Users dialog box.

   

4. In the User dialog box, perform the following steps:

   

   1. In the Name box, type BrittaSimon.

   2. In the User name box, type the email address of user Britta Simon.

   3. Select the Show Password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.

   4. Click Create.

Create an Arc Publishing - SSO test user

The objective of this section is to create a user called Britta Simon in Arc Publishing - SSO. Arc Publishing - SSO supports just-in-time provisioning, which is by default enabled. There is no action item for you in this section. A new user is created during an attempt to access Arc Publishing - SSO if it doesn't exist yet.

Note

If you need to create a user manually, contact Arc Publishing - SSO support team.

Assign the Azure AD test user

In this section, you enable Britta Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Arc Publishing - SSO.

To assign Britta Simon to Arc Publishing - SSO, perform the following steps:

1. In the Azure portal, open the applications view, and then navigate to the directory view and go to Enterprise applications then click All applications.

   

2. In the applications list, select Arc Publishing - SSO.

   

3. In the menu on the left, click Users and groups.

   

4. Click Add button. Then select Users and groups on Add Assignment dialog.

   

5. On Users and groups dialog, select Britta Simon in the Users list.

6. Click Select button on Users and groups dialog.

7. Click Assign button on Add Assignment dialog.

Test single sign-on

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration using the Access Panel.

When you click the Arc Publishing - SSO tile in the Access Panel, you should get automatically signed-on to your Arc Publishing - SSO application. For more information about the Access Panel, see Introduction to the Access Panel.
