# Tutorial: Azure AD SSO integration with xCarrier®
18+
19+
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate xCarrier® with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate xCarrier® with Azure AD, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Azure AD who has access to xCarrier®.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to xCarrier® 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+
* xCarrier® single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
31+
* Along with Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator can also add or manage applications in Azure AD.
32+
For more information, see [Azure built-in roles](../roles/permissions-reference.md).
33+
34+
## Scenario description
35+
36+
In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.
37+
38+
* xCarrier® supports **SP** and **IDP** initiated SSO.
39+
40+
> [!NOTE]
41+
> Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.
42+
43+
## Add xCarrier® from the gallery
44+
45+
To configure the integration of xCarrier® into Azure AD, you need to add xCarrier® from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
46+
47+
1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
48+
1. On the left navigation pane, select the **Azure Active Directory** service.
49+
1. Navigate to **Enterprise Applications** and then select **All Applications**.
50+
1. To add new application, select **New application**.
51+
1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **xCarrier®** in the search box.
52+
1. Select **xCarrier®** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
53+
54+
## Configure and test Azure AD SSO for xCarrier®
55+
56+
Configure and test Azure AD SSO with xCarrier® 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 xCarrier®.
57+
58+
To configure and test Azure AD SSO with xCarrier®, perform the following steps:
59+
60+
1. **[Configure Azure AD SSO](#configure-azure-ad-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
61+
1. **[Create an Azure AD test user](#create-an-azure-ad-test-user)** - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
62+
1. **[Assign the Azure AD test user](#assign-the-azure-ad-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
63+
1. **[Configure xCarrier® SSO](#configure-xcarrier-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
64+
1. **[Create xCarrier® test user](#create-xcarrier-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in xCarrier® that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
65+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
66+
67+
## Configure Azure AD SSO
68+
69+
Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.
70+
71+
1. In the Azure portal, on the **xCarrier®** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**.
72+
1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**.
73+
1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, click the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings.
74+
75+
![Screenshot shows to edit Basic S A M L Configuration.](common/edit-urls.png "Basic Configuration")
76+
77+
1. On the **Basic SAML Configuration** section, the user does not have to perform any step as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.
78+
79+
1. Click **Set additional URLs** and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in **SP** initiated mode:
80+
81+
In the **Sign-on URL** text box, type the URL:
82+
`https://msdev.myxcarrier.com/Home/Index`
83+
84+
1. On the **Set-up single sign-on with SAML** page, in the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, find **Federation Metadata XML** and select **Download** to download the certificate and save it on your computer.
85+
86+
![Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.](common/metadataxml.png "Certificate")
87+
88+
1. On the **Set up xCarrier®** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
89+
90+

91+
92+
### Create an Azure AD test user
93+
94+
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called B.Simon.
95+
96+
1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select **Azure Active Directory**, select **Users**, and then select **All users**.
97+
1. Select **New user** at the top of the screen.
98+
1. In the **User** properties, follow these steps:
99+
1. In the **Name** field, enter `B.Simon`.
100+
1. In the **User name** field, enter the [email protected]. For example, `[email protected]`.
101+
1. Select the **Show password** check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the **Password** box.
102+
1. Click **Create**.
103+
104+
### Assign the Azure AD test user
105+
106+
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to xCarrier®.
107+
108+
1. In the Azure portal, select **Enterprise Applications**, and then select **All applications**.
109+
1. In the applications list, select **xCarrier®**.
110+
1. In the app's overview page, find the **Manage** section and select **Users and groups**.
111+
1. Select **Add user**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog.
112+
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.
113+
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.
114+
1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
115+
116+
## Configure xCarrier® SSO
117+
118+
To configure single sign-on on **xCarrier®** side, you need to send the downloaded **Federation Metadata XML** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [xCarrier® support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
119+
120+
### Create xCarrier® test user
121+
122+
In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in xCarrier®. xCarrier® 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 xCarrier®, a new one is created after authentication.
123+
124+
## Test SSO
125+
126+
In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.
127+
128+
#### SP initiated:
129+
130+
* Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal. This will redirect to xCarrier® Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
131+
132+
* Go to xCarrier® Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
133+
134+
#### IDP initiated:
135+
136+
* Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the xCarrier® for which you set up the SSO.
137+
138+
You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the xCarrier® 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 xCarrier® 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).
139+
140+
## Next steps
141+
142+
Once you configure xCarrier® 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).
