# Microsoft Entra SSO integration with PressReader
18+
19+
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate PressReader with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate PressReader with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:
20+
21+
* Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to PressReader.
22+
* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to PressReader with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
23+
* Manage your accounts in one central location.
24+
25+
## Prerequisites
26+
27+
To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with PressReader, 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+
* PressReader 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+
* PressReader supports **SP** initiated SSO.
37+
* PressReader supports **Just In Time** user provisioning.
38+
39+
> [!NOTE]
40+
> Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.
41+
42+
## Add PressReader from the gallery
43+
44+
To configure the integration of PressReader into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add PressReader from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
45+
46+
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).
47+
1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **New application**.
48+
1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **PressReader** in the search box.
49+
1. Select **PressReader** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
50+
51+
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.

52+
53+
## Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for PressReader
54+
55+
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with PressReader 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 PressReader.
56+
57+
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with PressReader, perform the following steps:
58+
59+
1. **[Configure Microsoft Entra SSO](#configure-microsoft-entra-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
60+
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.
61+
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.
62+
1. **[Configure PressReader SSO](#configure-pressreader-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
63+
1. **[Create PressReader test user](#create-pressreader-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in PressReader that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user.
64+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
65+
66+

### Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user
96+
97+
In this section, you'll create a test user in the Microsoft Entra admin center called B.Simon.
98+
99+
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).
100+

102+

106+

108+
109+
### Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user
110+
111+
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on by granting access to PressReader.
112+
113+
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).
114+
1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **PressReader**.
115+

116+
1. Select **Add user/group**, then select **Users and groups** in the **Add Assignment** dialog.
117+
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.
118+
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.
119+
1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
120+
121+
## Configure PressReader SSO
122+
123+
To configure single sign-on on **PressReader** side, you need to send the **App Federation Metadata Url** to [PressReader support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
124+
125+
### Create PressReader test user
126+
127+
In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in PressReader. PressReader 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 PressReader, a new one is created after authentication.
128+
129+
## Test SSO
130+
131+
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
132+
133+
* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to PressReader Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
134+
135+
* Go to PressReader Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
136+
137+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the PressReader tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to PressReader 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).
138+
139+
## Next steps
140+
141+
Once you configure PressReader 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).
