| 17 | +# Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Diffchecker |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate Diffchecker with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Diffchecker with Microsoft Entra ID, you can: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +* Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Diffchecker. |
| 22 | +* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Diffchecker with their Microsoft Entra accounts. |
| 23 | +* Manage your accounts in one central location. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Prerequisites |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Diffchecker, you need: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +* A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/). |
| 30 | +* Diffchecker single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Scenario description |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* Diffchecker supports **SP and IDP** initiated SSO. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 39 | +> Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant. |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | +## Adding Diffchecker from the gallery |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +To configure the integration of Diffchecker into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Diffchecker from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [Cloud Application Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#cloud-application-administrator). |
| 46 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **New application**. |
| 47 | +1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **Diffchecker** in the search box. |
| 48 | +1. Select **Diffchecker** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +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, assign roles, and walk through the SSO configuration as well.

| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Diffchecker |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Diffchecker using a test user called **B.Simon**. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Diffchecker. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Diffchecker, perform the following steps: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +1. **[Configure Microsoft Entra SSO](#configure-microsoft-entra-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature. |
| 59 | + 1. **[Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user](#create-a-microsoft-entra-id-test-user)** - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon. |
| 60 | + 1. **[Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user](#assign-the-microsoft-entra-id-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on. |
| 61 | +1. **[Configure Diffchecker SSO](#configure-diffchecker-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side. |
| 62 | + 1. **[Create Diffchecker test user](#create-diffchecker-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Diffchecker that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user. |
| 63 | +1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Configure Microsoft Entra SSO |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Microsoft Entra admin center. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [Cloud Application Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#cloud-application-administrator). |
| 70 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **Diffchecker** > **Single sign-on**. |

| 83 | + |
| 84 | +1. Perform the following step, if you wish to configure the application in **SP** initiated mode: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + In the **Sign-on URL** text box, type a URL using the following pattern: |
| 87 | + `https://api.<ENVIRONMENT>.diffchecker.com/auth/saml/<ID>` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + > [!NOTE] |
| 90 | + > These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Reply URL and Sign on URL. Contact [Diffchecker 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 Microsoft Entra admin center. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, in the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, find **Certificate (Base64)** and select **Download** to download the certificate and save it on your computer. |

| 97 | + |
| 98 | +  |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +### Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +In this section, you create a test user in the Microsoft Entra admin center called B.Simon. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [User Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#user-administrator). |
| 105 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Users** > **All users**. |
| 106 | +1. Select **New user** > **Create new user**, at the top of the screen. |
| 107 | +1. In the **User** properties, follow these steps: |
| 108 | + 1. In the **Display name** field, enter `B.Simon`. |
| 109 | + 1. In the **User principal name ** field, enter the [email protected]. For example, `[email protected]`. |
| 110 | + 1. Select the **Show password** check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the **Password** box. |
| 111 | + 1. Select **Review + create**. |
| 112 | +1. Select **Create**. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +### Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +In this section, you enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on by granting access to Diffchecker. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [Cloud Application Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#cloud-application-administrator). |
| 119 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **Diffchecker**. |
| 120 | +1. In the app's overview page, select **Users and groups**. |
| 121 | +1. Select **Add user/group**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog. |
| 122 | + 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. |
| 123 | + 1. If you're expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the **Select a role** dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected. |
| 124 | + 1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +## Configure Diffchecker SSO |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +To configure single sign-on on **Diffchecker ** side, you need to send the downloaded **Certificate (Base64) ** and appropriate copied URLs from Microsoft Entra admin center to [Diffchecker support team ](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### Create Diffchecker test user |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Diffchecker. Work with [Diffchecker support team ](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Diffchecker platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## Test SSO |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options. |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +#### SP initiated: |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to Diffchecker Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow. |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +* Go to Diffchecker Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there. |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +#### IDP initiated: |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center and you should be automatically signed in to the Diffchecker for which you set up the SSO. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Diffchecker tile in the My Apps, if configured in SP mode you would be redirected to the application sign-on page for initiating the login flow and if configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the Diffchecker for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see [Introduction to the My Apps](../user-help/my-apps-portal-end-user-access.md). |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +## Next Steps |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +Once you configure Diffchecker 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 Defender for Cloud Apps](/cloud-app-security/proxy-deployment-any-app). |
