# Azure Active Directory SSO integration with BrainStorm Platform
18+
19+
In this article, you learn how to integrate BrainStorm Platform with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). The BrainStorm Platform empowers end users to personalize their experience, empowering them to embrace long-term behavioral change. When you integrate BrainStorm Platform with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to BrainStorm Platform.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to BrainStorm Platform with their Azure AD accounts.
23+
* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
24+
25+
You are able to configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for BrainStorm Platform in your BrainStorm environment. BrainStorm Platform supports only **SP** initiated single sign-on and **Just In Time** user provisioning.
26+
27+
> [!NOTE]
28+
> Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.
29+
30+
## Prerequisites
31+
32+
To integrate Azure Active Directory with BrainStorm Platform, you need:
33+
34+
* An Azure AD user account. If you don't already have one, you can [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
35+
* One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
36+
* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
37+
* BrainStorm Platform single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
38+
39+
## Add application and assign a test user
40+
41+
Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the BrainStorm Platform application from the Azure AD gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.
42+
43+
### Add BrainStorm Platform from the Azure AD gallery
44+
45+
Add BrainStorm Platform from the Azure AD application gallery to configure single sign-on with BrainStorm Platform. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the [Quickstart: Add application from the gallery](../manage-apps/add-application-portal.md).
46+
47+
### Create and assign Azure AD test user
48+
49+
Follow the guidelines in the [create and assign a user account](../manage-apps/add-application-portal-assign-users.md) article to create a test user account in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
50+
51+
Alternatively, you can also use the [Enterprise App Configuration Wizard](https://portal.office.com/AdminPortal/home?Q=Docs#/azureadappintegration). In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane in the Azure portal. [Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.](/microsoft-365/admin/misc/azure-ad-setup-guides).
52+
53+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
54+
55+
Complete the following steps to enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal.
56+
57+
1. In the Azure portal, on the **BrainStorm Platform** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
58+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
59+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, select the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
60+
61+
![Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.](common/edit-urls.png "Basic Configuration")
62+
63+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, perform the following steps:
64+
65+
a. In the **Identifier** textbox, type the value:
66+
`urn:brainstorminc:auth:wsfed`
67+
68+
b. In the **Reply URL** textbox, type the URL:
69+
`https://auth.brainstorminc.com/signin-wsfed`
70+
71+
c. In the **Sign on URL** textbox, type a URL using the following pattern:
72+
`https://auth.brainstorminc.com/auth/wsfed?providerId=<ID>`
73+
74+
> [!NOTE]
75+
> This value is not real. Update this value with the actual Sign on URL. Contact [BrainStorm Platform 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.
76+
77+
1. BrainStorm Platform application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.
78+
79+
![Screenshot shows the image of attributes configuration.](common/default-attributes.png "Image")
80+
81+
1. In addition to above, the BrainStorm platform application allows few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.
82+
83+
| Name | Source Attribute|
84+
| ---------------| --------- |
85+
| title | user.jobtitle
86+
| department | user.department |
87+
88+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, in the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, click copy button to copy **App Federation Metadata Url** and save it on your computer.
89+
90+
![Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.](common/copy-metadataurl.png "Certificate")
91+
92+
## Configure BrainStorm Platform SSO
93+
94+
To configure single sign-on on **BrainStorm Platform** side, you need to send the **App Federation Metadata Url** to [BrainStorm Platform support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
95+
96+
### Create BrainStorm Platform test user
97+
98+
In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in BrainStorm Platform. BrainStorm Platform supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in BrainStorm Platform, a new one is commonly created after authentication.
99+
100+
## Test SSO
101+
102+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
103+
104+
* Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal. This will redirect to BrainStorm Platform Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
105+
106+
* Go to BrainStorm Platform Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
107+
108+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the BrainStorm Platform tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to BrainStorm Platform Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see [Introduction to the My Apps](../user-help/my-apps-portal-end-user-access.md).
109+
110+
## Additional resources
111+
112+
* [What is single sign-on with Azure Active Directory?](../manage-apps/what-is-single-sign-on.md)
113+
* [Plan a single sign-on deployment](../manage-apps/plan-sso-deployment.md).
114+
115+
## Next steps
116+
117+
Once you configure BrainStorm Platform you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. [Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Cloud App Security](/cloud-app-security/proxy-deployment-aad).
