| 17 | +# Microsoft Entra SSO integration with CoLab |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate CoLab with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate CoLab with Microsoft Entra ID, you can: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +* Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to CoLab. |
| 22 | +* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to CoLab with their Microsoft Entra accounts. |
| 23 | +* Manage your accounts in one central location. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Prerequisites |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with CoLab, 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 | +* CoLab 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 | +* CoLab supports **SP and IDP** initiated SSO. |
| 37 | +* CoLab supports **Just In Time** user provisioning. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Adding CoLab from the gallery |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +To configure the integration of CoLab into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add CoLab from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +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). |
| 44 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **New application**. |
| 45 | +1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **CoLab** in the search box. |
| 46 | +1. Select **CoLab** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant. |
| 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, assign roles, and walk through the SSO configuration as well.

| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for CoLab |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with CoLab 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 CoLab. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with CoLab, perform the following steps: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. **[Configure Microsoft Entra SSO](#configure-microsoft-entra-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature. |
| 57 | + 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. |
| 58 | + 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. |
| 59 | +1. **[Configure CoLab SSO](#configure-colab-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side. |
| 60 | + 1. **[Create CoLab test user](#create-colab-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in CoLab that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user. |
| 61 | +1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Configure Microsoft Entra SSO |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Microsoft Entra admin center. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +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). |
| 68 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **CoLab** > **Single sign-on**. |
| 69 | +1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**. |
| 70 | +1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, click the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +  |
| 73 | + |

| 78 | + |
| 79 | + b. In the **Reply URL** textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: |
| 80 | + ` https://login.colabsoftware.com/login/callback?connection=<Customer>` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +1. If you wish to configure the application in **SP** initiated mode, then perform the following step: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | + In the **Sign on URL** textbox, type the URL: |
| 85 | + `https://app.colabsoftware.com/` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + > [!NOTE] |
| 88 | + > These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Reply URL. Contact [CoLab 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. |
| 89 | +
|
| 90 | +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. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +  |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +1. On the **Set up CoLab** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +  |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +In this section, you create a test user in the Microsoft Entra admin center called B.Simon. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +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). |
| 103 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Users** > **All users**. |
| 104 | +1. Select **New user** > **Create new user**, at the top of the screen. |
| 105 | +1. In the **User** properties, follow these steps: |
| 106 | + 1. In the **Display name** field, enter `B.Simon`. |
| 107 | + 1. In the **User principal 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. Select **Review + create**. |
| 110 | +1. Select **Create**. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +In this section, you enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on by granting access to CoLab. |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +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). |
| 117 | +1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **CoLab**. |
| 118 | +1. In the app's overview page, select **Users and groups**. |
| 119 | +1. Select **Add user/group**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog. |
| 120 | + 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. |
| 121 | + 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. |
| 122 | + 1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +## Configure CoLab SSO |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +To configure single sign-on on **CoLab ** side, you need to send the downloaded **Certificate (Base64) ** and appropriate copied URLs from Microsoft Entra admin center to [CoLab support team ](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Create CoLab test user |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in CoLab. CoLab supports just-in-time provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in CoLab, a new one is created when you attempt to access CoLab. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +## Test SSO |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options. |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +#### SP initiated: |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to CoLab Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +* Go to CoLab Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there. |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +#### IDP initiated: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center and you should be automatically signed in to the CoLab for which you set up the SSO. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the CoLab 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 CoLab 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). |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +## Next Steps |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +Once you configure CoLab 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). |
