# Tutorial: Azure AD SSO integration with Zest
18+
19+
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Zest with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Zest with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to Zest.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Zest 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+
* Zest 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+
* Zest supports **IDP** initiated SSO.
37+
38+
## Add Zest from the gallery
39+
40+
To configure the integration of Zest into Azure AD, you need to add Zest from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
41+
42+
1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
43+
1. On the left navigation pane, select the **Azure Active Directory** service.
44+
1. Navigate to **Enterprise Applications** and then select **All Applications**.
45+
1. To add new application, select **New application**.
46+
1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **Zest** in the search box.
47+
1. Select **Zest** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
48+
49+
## Configure and test Azure AD SSO for Zest
50+
51+
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Zest 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 Zest.
52+
53+
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Zest, perform the following steps:
54+
55+
1. **[Configure Azure AD SSO](#configure-azure-ad-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
56+
1. **[Create an Azure AD test user](#create-an-azure-ad-test-user)** - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
57+
1. **[Assign the Azure AD test user](#assign-the-azure-ad-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
58+
1. **[Configure Zest SSO](#configure-zest-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
59+
1. **[Create Zest test user](#create-zest-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Zest that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
60+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
61+
62+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
63+
64+
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
65+
66+
1. In the Azure portal, on the **Zest** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
67+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
68+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, click the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
69+
70+
![Edit Basic SAML Configuration](common/edit-urls.png)
71+
72+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, perform the following steps:
73+
74+
a. In the **Identifier** text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
75+
76+
| **Identifier** |
77+
|--------|
78+
| `http://my.zestbenefits.com/idp/identity/AuthServices`|
79+
| `http://my.zestbenefits.com/idp/identity/AuthServices?<SSOPortalId>` |
80+
81+
b. In the **Reply URL** text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
82+
83+
| **Reply URL** |
84+
|--------|
85+
|`https://my.zestbenefits.com/idp/identity/AuthServices/Acs` |
86+
|`https://<CustomDomain>/idp/identity/AuthServices/Acs` |
87+
88+
> [!NOTE]
89+
> These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Reply URL. Contact [Zest 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.
90+
91+
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.
92+
93+
![The Certificate download link](common/certificatebase64.png)
94+
95+
1. On the **Set up Zest** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
96+

98+
99+
### Create an Azure AD test user
100+
101+
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
102+
103+
1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**, select **Users**, and then select **All users**.
104+
1. Select **New user** at the top of the screen.
105+
1. In the **User** properties, follow these steps:
106+
1. In the **Name** field, enter `B.Simon`.
107+
1. In the **User name** field, enter the [email protected]. For example, `[email protected]`.
108+
1. Select the **Show password** check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the **Password** box.
109+
1. Click **Create**.
110+
111+
### Assign the Azure AD test user
112+
113+
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to Zest.
114+
115+
1. In the Azure portal, select **Enterprise Applications**, and then select **All applications**.
116+
1. In the applications list, select **Zest**.
117+
1. In the app's overview page, find the **Manage** section and select **Users and groups**.
118+
1. Select **Add user**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog.
119+
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.
120+
1. If you are 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.
121+
1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
122+
123+
## Configure Zest SSO
124+
125+
To configure single sign-on on **Zest** side, you need to send the downloaded **Certificate (Base64)** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [Zest support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
126+
127+
### Create Zest test user
128+
129+
In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in Zest. Work with [Zest support team](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Zest platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
130+
131+
## Test SSO
132+
133+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
134+
135+
* Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Zest for which you set up the SSO.
136+
137+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Zest tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Zest 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).
138+
139+
## Next steps
140+
141+
Once you configure Zest 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).
