# Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with WorkBoard
24+
25+
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate WorkBoard with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate WorkBoard with Azure AD, you can:
26+
27+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to WorkBoard.
28+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to WorkBoard with their Azure AD accounts.
29+
* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
30+
31+
To learn more about SaaS app integration with Azure AD, see [What is application access and single sign-on with Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/active-directory-appssoaccess-whatis).
32+
33+
## Prerequisites
34+
35+
To get started, you need the following items:
36+
37+
* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
38+
* WorkBoard single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
39+
40+
## Scenario description
41+
42+
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.
43+
44+
* WorkBoard supports **SP and IDP** initiated SSO
45+
46+
## Adding WorkBoard from the gallery
47+
48+
To configure the integration of WorkBoard into Azure AD, you need to add WorkBoard from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
49+
50+
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
51+
1. On the left navigation pane, select the **Azure Active Directory** service.
52+
1. Navigate to **Enterprise Applications** and then select **All Applications**.
53+
1. To add new application, select **New application**.
54+
1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **WorkBoard** in the search box.
55+
1. Select **WorkBoard** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
56+
57+
58+
## Configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for WorkBoard
59+
60+
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with WorkBoard using a test user called **B.Simon**. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in WorkBoard.
61+
62+
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with WorkBoard, complete the following building blocks:
63+
64+
1. **[Configure Azure AD SSO](#configure-azure-ad-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
65+
1. **[Create an Azure AD test user](#create-an-azure-ad-test-user)** - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
66+
1. **[Assign the Azure AD test user](#assign-the-azure-ad-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
67+
1. **[Configure WorkBoard SSO](#configure-workboard-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
68+
1. **[Create WorkBoard test user](#create-workboard-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in WorkBoard that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
69+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
70+
71+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
72+
73+
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
74+
75+
1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/), on the **WorkBoard** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
76+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
77+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, click the edit/pen icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
78+
79+
![Edit Basic SAML Configuration](common/edit-urls.png)
80+
81+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, if you wish to configure the application in **IDP** initiated mode, enter the values for the following fields:
82+
83+
a. In the **Identifier** text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
84+
`https://www.myworkboard.com/lib/php/simplesaml/www/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/<ENVIRONMENTNAME>`
85+
86+
b. In the **Reply URL** text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
87+
`https://www.myworkboard.com/lib/php/simplesaml/www/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/<ENVIRONMENTNAME>`
88+
89+
1. Click **Set additional URLs** and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in **SP** initiated mode:
90+
91+
In the **Sign-on URL** text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
92+
`https://www.myworkboard.com/wb/user/login?saml_sso=<ENVIRONMENTNAME>`
93+
94+
> [!NOTE]
95+
> These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign-on URL. Contact [WorkBoard Client support team](mailto:[email protected]) to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the **Basic SAML Configuration** section in the Azure portal.
96+
97+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, in the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, find **Federation Metadata XML** and select **Download** to download the certificate and save it on your computer.
98+
99+
![The Certificate download link](common/metadataxml.png)
100+
101+
1. On the **Set up WorkBoard** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
102+
103+
![Copy configuration URLs](common/copy-configuration-urls.png)
104+
105+
### Create an Azure AD test user
106+
107+
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
108+
109+
1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**, select **Users**, and then select **All users**.
110+
1. Select **New user** at the top of the screen.
111+
1. In the **User** properties, follow these steps:
112+
1. In the **Name** field, enter `B.Simon`.
113+
1. In the **User name** field, enter the [email protected]. For example, `[email protected]`.
114+
1. Select the **Show password** check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the **Password** box.
115+
1. Click **Create**.
116+
117+
### Assign the Azure AD test user
118+
119+
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to WorkBoard.
120+
121+
1. In the Azure portal, select **Enterprise Applications**, and then select **All applications**.
122+
1. In the applications list, select **WorkBoard**.
123+
1. In the app's overview page, find the **Manage** section and select **Users and groups**.
124+
125+
![The "Users and groups" link](common/users-groups-blade.png)
126+
127+
1. Select **Add user**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog.
128+
129+
![The Add User link](common/add-assign-user.png)
130+
131+
1. In the **Users and groups** dialog, select **B.Simon** from the Users list, then click the **Select** button at the bottom of the screen.
132+
1. If you're expecting any role value in the SAML assertion, in the **Select Role** dialog, select the appropriate role for the user from the list and then click the **Select** button at the bottom of the screen.
133+
1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
134+
135+
## Configure WorkBoard SSO
136+
137+
To configure single sign-on on **WorkBoard** side, you need to send the downloaded **Federation Metadata XML** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [WorkBoard support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
138+
139+
### Create WorkBoard test user
140+
141+
In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in WorkBoard. Work with [WorkBoard support team](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the WorkBoard platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
142+
143+
## Test SSO
144+
145+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration using the Access Panel.
146+
147+
When you click the WorkBoard tile in the Access Panel, you should be automatically signed in to the WorkBoard for which you set up SSO. For more information about the Access Panel, see [Introduction to the Access Panel](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/active-directory-saas-access-panel-introduction).
