# Azure Active Directory SSO integration with Locus
18+
19+
In this article, you learn how to integrate Locus with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Locus is a real-world ready dispatch management platform for last-mile excellence. When you integrate Locus with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to Locus.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Locus with their Azure AD accounts.
23+
* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.
24+
25+
You configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for Locus in a test environment. Locus supports **SP** initiated single sign-on.
26+
27+
## Prerequisites
28+
29+
To integrate Azure Active Directory with Locus, you need:
30+
31+
* 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).
32+
* One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
33+
* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
34+
* Locus single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
35+
36+
## Add application and assign a test user
37+
38+
Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Locus application from the Azure AD gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.
39+
40+
### Add Locus from the Azure AD gallery
41+
42+
Add Locus from the Azure AD application gallery to configure single sign-on with Locus. 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).
43+
44+
### Create and assign Azure AD test user
45+
46+
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.
47+
48+
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).
49+
50+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
51+
52+
Complete the following steps to enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal.
53+
54+
1. In the Azure portal, on the **Locus** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
55+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
56+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, select the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
57+
58+
![Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.](common/edit-urls.png "Basic Configuration")
59+
60+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, perform the following steps:
61+
62+
a. In the **Identifier** textbox, type a value using the following pattern:
63+
`urn:auth0:locus-aws-us-east-1:<ConnectionName>`
64+
65+
b. In the **Reply URL** textbox, type a URL using the following pattern:
66+
`https://accounts.locus-dashboard.com/login/callback?connection=<ConnectionName>`
67+
68+
c. In the **Sign on URL** textbox, type a URL using the following pattern:
69+
`https://<ClientId>.locus-dashboard.com/#/login/sso?clientId=<ClientId>&connection=<ConnectionName>`
70+
71+
> [!NOTE]
72+
> These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign on URL. Contact [Locus 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.
73+
74+
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.
75+
76+
![Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.](common/copy-metadataurl.png "Certificate")
77+
78+
## Configure Locus SSO
79+
80+
To configure single sign-on on **Locus** side, you need to send the **App Federation Metadata Url** to [Locus support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
81+
82+
### Create Locus test user
83+
84+
In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon at Locus. Work with [Locus support team](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Locus platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
85+
86+
## Test SSO
87+
88+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
89+
90+
* Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal. This will redirect to Locus Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
91+
92+
* Go to Locus Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
93+
94+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Locus tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Locus 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).
95+
96+
## Additional resources
97+
98+
* [What is single sign-on with Azure Active Directory?](../manage-apps/what-is-single-sign-on.md)
99+
* [Plan a single sign-on deployment](../manage-apps/plan-sso-deployment.md).
100+
101+
## Next steps
102+
103+
Once you configure Locus 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).
