In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate ArcGIS Online with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Integrating ArcGIS Online with Azure AD provides you with the following benefits:
- You can control in Azure AD who has access to ArcGIS Online.
- You can enable your users to automatically get signed-on to ArcGIS Online (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.
To configure Azure AD integration with ArcGIS Online, you need the following items:
- An Azure AD subscription
- An ArcGIS Online 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.
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:
- Adding ArcGIS Online from the gallery
- Configuring and testing Azure AD single sign-on
To configure the integration of ArcGIS Online into Azure AD, you need to add ArcGIS Online from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
To add ArcGIS Online from the gallery, perform the following steps:
-
In the Azure portal, on the left navigation panel, click Azure Active Directory icon.
-
Navigate to Enterprise applications. Then go to All applications.
-
To add new application, click New application button on the top of dialog.
-
In the search box, type ArcGIS Online, select ArcGIS Online from result panel then click Add button to add the application.
In this section, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with ArcGIS Online based on a test user called "Britta Simon".
For single sign-on to work, Azure AD needs to know what the counterpart user in ArcGIS Online is to a user in Azure AD. In other words, a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in ArcGIS Online needs to be established.
In ArcGIS Online, assign the value of the user name in Azure AD as the value of the Username to establish the link relationship.
To configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with ArcGIS Online, you need to complete the following building blocks:
- Configure Azure AD Single Sign-On - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with Britta Simon.
- Create an ArcGIS Online test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in ArcGIS Online that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
- Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
- Test single sign-on - to verify whether the configuration works.
In this section, you enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal and configure single sign-on in your ArcGIS Online application.
To configure Azure AD single sign-on with ArcGIS Online, perform the following steps:
-
In the Azure portal, on the ArcGIS Online application integration page, select Single sign-on.
-
Click Change Single sign-on mode on top of the screen to select the SAML mode.
-
On the Select a Single sign-on method dialog, Click Select for SAML mode to enable single sign-on.
-
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, click Edit button to open Basic SAML Configuration dialog.
-
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.maps.arcgis.com.b. In the Identifier text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
<companyname>.maps.arcgis.com.
[!NOTE] These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Sign-On URL and Identifier. Contact ArcGIS Online Client support team to get these values.
-
On the SAML Signing Certificate section, Click on Download to download Federation Metadata XML and then save the xml file on your computer.
-
To automate the configuration within ArcGIS Online, you need to install My Apps Secure Sign-in browser extension by clicking Install the extension.
-
After adding extension to the browser, click on setup ArcGIS Online will direct you to the ArcGIS Online application. From there, provide the admin credentials to sign into ArcGIS Online. The browser extension will automatically configure the application for you and automate steps 9-13.
-
If you want to setup ArcGIS Online manually, open a new web browser window and log into your ArcGIS company site as an administrator and perform the following steps:
-
Click EDIT SETTINGS.
-
Click Security.
-
Under Enterprise Logins, click SET IDENTITY PROVIDER.
-
On the Set Identity Provider configuration page, perform the following steps:
a. In the Name textbox, type your organization’s name.
b. For Metadata for the Enterprise Identity Provider will be supplied using, select A File.
c. To upload your downloaded metadata file, click Choose file.
d. Click SET IDENTITY PROVIDER.
The objective of this section is to create a test user in the Azure portal called Britta Simon.
-
In the Azure portal, in the left pane, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
-
Select New user at the top of the screen.
-
In the User properties, perform the following steps.
a. In the Name field enter BrittaSimon.
b. In the User name field type [email protected]
For example, [email protected]c. Select Properties, select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
d. Select Create.
In order to enable Azure AD users to log into ArcGIS Online, they must be provisioned into ArcGIS Online.
In the case of ArcGIS Online, provisioning is a manual task.
To provision a user account, perform the following steps:
-
Log in to your ArcGIS tenant.
-
Click INVITE MEMBERS.
-
Select Add members automatically without sending an email, and then click NEXT.
-
On the Members dialog page, perform the following steps:
a. Enter the Email, First Name, and Last Name of a valid AAD account you want to provision.
b. Click ADD AND REVIEW.
-
Review the data you have entered, and then click ADD MEMBERS.
[!NOTE] The Azure Active Directory account holder will receive an email and follow a link to confirm their account before it becomes active.
In this section, you enable Britta Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to ArcGIS Online.
-
In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, select All applications.
-
In the applications list, select ArcGIS Online.
-
In the menu on the left, select Users and groups.
-
Select the Add button, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
-
In the Users and groups dialog select Britta Simon in the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
-
In the Add Assignment dialog select the Assign button.
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration using the Access Panel.
When you click the ArcGIS Online tile in the Access Panel, you should get automatically signed-on to your ArcGIS Online application. For more information about the Access Panel, see Introduction to the Access Panel.
