# Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with HSB ThoughtSpot
18+
19+
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate HSB ThoughtSpot with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate HSB ThoughtSpot with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to HSB ThoughtSpot.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to HSB ThoughtSpot with their Azure AD accounts.
23+
* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
24+
25+
## Prerequisites
26+
27+
To get started, you need the following items:
28+
29+
* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
30+
* HSB ThoughtSpot single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
31+
32+
## Scenario description
33+
34+
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.
35+
36+
* HSB ThoughtSpot supports **SP** initiated SSO
37+
* HSB ThoughtSpot supports **Just In Time** user provisioning
38+
39+
## Adding HSB ThoughtSpot from the gallery
40+
41+
To configure the integration of HSB ThoughtSpot into Azure AD, you need to add HSB ThoughtSpot from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
42+
43+
1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
44+
1. On the left navigation pane, select the **Azure Active Directory** service.
45+
1. Navigate to **Enterprise Applications** and then select **All Applications**.
46+
1. To add new application, select **New application**.
47+
1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **HSB ThoughtSpot** in the search box.
48+
1. Select **HSB ThoughtSpot** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
49+
50+
51+
## Configure and test Azure AD SSO for HSB ThoughtSpot
52+
53+
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with HSB ThoughtSpot 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 HSB ThoughtSpot.
54+
55+
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with HSB ThoughtSpot, perform the following steps:
56+
57+
1. **[Configure Azure AD SSO](#configure-azure-ad-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
58+
1. **[Create an Azure AD test user](#create-an-azure-ad-test-user)** - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
59+
1. **[Assign the Azure AD test user](#assign-the-azure-ad-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
60+
1. **[Configure HSB ThoughtSpot SSO](#configure-hsb-thoughtspot-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
61+
1. **[Create HSB ThoughtSpot test user](#create-hsb-thoughtspot-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in HSB ThoughtSpot that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
62+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
63+
64+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
65+
66+
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
67+
68+

81+
| `https://hsbthoughtspot.mruscloud.com/#/login` |
82+
|
83+
84+

94+
95+

102+
103+

104+
105+

106+
107+

113+
1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
114+
115+
## Configure HSB ThoughtSpot SSO
116+
117+
To configure single sign-on on **HSB ThoughtSpot** side, you need to send the downloaded **Federation Metadata XML** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [HSB ThoughtSpot support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
118+
119+
### Create HSB ThoughtSpot test user
120+
121+
In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in HSB ThoughtSpot. HSB ThoughtSpot supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in HSB ThoughtSpot, a new one is created after authentication.
122+
123+
## Test SSO
124+
125+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
126+
127+
* Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal. This will redirect to HSB ThoughtSpot Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
128+
129+
* Go to HSB ThoughtSpot Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
130+
131+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the HSB ThoughtSpot tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to HSB ThoughtSpot Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see [Introduction to the My Apps](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/active-directory-saas-access-panel-introduction).
132+
133+
134+
## Next steps
135+
136+
Once you configure HSB ThoughtSpot 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](https://docs.microsoft.com/cloud-app-security/proxy-deployment-any-app).
