In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate BitaBIZ with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Integrating BitaBIZ with Azure AD provides you with the following benefits:
- You can control in Azure AD who has access to BitaBIZ.
- You can enable your users to automatically get signed-on to BitaBIZ (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 BitaBIZ, you need the following items:
- An Azure AD subscription
- A BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ from the gallery
- Configuring and testing Azure AD single sign-on
To configure the integration of BitaBIZ into Azure AD, you need to add BitaBIZ from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
To add BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ, select BitaBIZ from result panel then click Add button to add the application.
In this section, you configure and test Azure AD single sign-on with BitaBIZ based on a test user called "Britta Simon".
For single sign-on to work, Azure AD needs to know what the counterpart user in BitaBIZ is to a user in Azure AD. In other words, a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in BitaBIZ needs to be established.
In BitaBIZ, 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 BitaBIZ, 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 a BitaBIZ test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ application.
To configure Azure AD single sign-on with BitaBIZ, perform the following steps:
-
In the Azure portal, on the BitaBIZ application integration page, click Single sign-on.
-
On the Single sign-on dialog, select Mode as SAML-based Sign-on to enable single sign-on.
-
On the BitaBIZ Domain and URLs section, perform the following steps if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode:
In the Identifier textbox, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://www.bitabiz.com/<instanceId>
[!NOTE] The value in the above URL is for demonstration only. Update the value with the actual identifier, which is explained later in the tutorial.
-
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 the URL:
https://www.bitabiz.com/dashboard
-
On the SAML Signing Certificate section, click Certificate(Base64) and then save the certificate file on your computer.
-
Click Save button.
-
On the BitaBIZ Configuration section, click Configure BitaBIZ to open Configure sign-on window. Copy the SAML Entity ID, and SAML Single Sign-On Service URL from the Quick Reference section.
-
In a different web browser window, sign-on to your BitaBIZ tenant as an administrator.
-
Click on SETUP ADMIN.
-
Click on Microsoft integrations under Add value section.
-
Scroll down to the section Microsoft Azure AD (Enable single sign on) and perform following steps:
a. Copy the value from the Entity ID (”Identifier” in Azure AD) textbox and paste it into the Identifier textbox on the BitaBIZ Domain and URLs section in Azure portal.
b. In the Azure AD Single Sign-On Service URL textbox, paste SAML Single Sign-On Service URL, which you have copied from Azure portal.
c. In the Azure AD SAML Entity ID textbox, paste SAML Entity ID, which you have copied from Azure portal.
d. Open your downloaded Certificate(Base64) file in notepad, copy the content of it into your clipboard, and then paste it to the Azure AD Signing Certificate (Base64 encoded) textbox.
e. Add your business e-mail domain name that is, mycompany.com in Domain name textbox to assign SSO to the users in your company with this email domain (NOT MANDATORY).
f. Mark SSO enabled the BitaBIZ account.
g. Click Save Azure AD configuration to save and activate the SSO configuration.
Tip
You can now read a concise version of these instructions inside the Azure portal, while you are setting up the app! After adding this app from the Active Directory > Enterprise Applications section, simply click the Single Sign-On tab and access the embedded documentation through the Configuration section at the bottom. You can read more about the embedded documentation feature here: Azure AD embedded documentation
