Tutorial: Azure Active Directory integration with Certify

In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate Certify with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Integrating Certify with Azure AD provides you with the following benefits:

• You can control in Azure AD who has access to Certify
• You can enable your users to automatically get signed-on to Certify (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 Certify, you need the following items:

• An Azure AD subscription
• A Certify 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 here.

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 Certify from the gallery
2. Configuring and testing Azure AD single sign-on

Adding Certify from the gallery

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

To add Certify 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 Certify.

   

5. In the results panel, select Certify, and then click Add button to add the application.

   

Configuring and testing Azure AD single sign-on

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

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

In Certify, 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 Certify, you need to complete the following building blocks:

1. Configuring Azure AD Single Sign-On - to enable your users to use this feature.
2. Creating an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with Britta Simon.
3. Creating a Certify test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in Certify that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
4. Assigning the Azure AD test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
5. Testing Single Sign-On - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configuring 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 Certify application.

To configure Azure AD single sign-on with Certify, perform the following steps:

1. In the Azure portal, on the Certify 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 Certify Domain and URLs section, perform the following steps:

   

   In the Identifier textbox, type the URL: https://www.certify.com

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

   

5. Click Save button.

   

6. On the Certify Configuration section, click Configure Certify 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.

   

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

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

Creating 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, on the left navigation pane, click Azure Active Directory icon.

   

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

   

3. To open the User dialog, click Add on the top of the dialog.

   

4. On the User dialog page, perform the following steps:

   

   a. In the Name textbox, type BrittaSimon.

   b. In the User name textbox, type the email address of BrittaSimon.

   c. Select Show Password and write down the value of the Password.

   d. Click Create.

Creating a Certify test user

The objective of this section is to create a user called Britta Simon in Certify. Certify supports just-in-time provisioning, which is by default enabled.

There is no action item for you in this section. A new user will be created during an attempt to access Certify if it doesn't exist yet.

Note

If you need to create an user manually, you need to contact the Certify support team.

Assigning the Azure AD test user

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

To assign Britta Simon to Certify, 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 Certify.

   

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.

Testing single sign-on

The objective of this section is to test your Azure AD SSO configuration using the Access Panel.

When you click the Certify tile in the Access Panel, you should get automatically signed-on to your Certify application.
