| 17 | +# Azure Active Directory SSO integration with Windchill |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Windchill with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Windchill PLM Software - Realize value quickly with out-of-the-box functionality across a comprehensive portfolio of core Product Data Management and advanced Product Lifecycle Management applications. When you integrate Windchill with Azure AD, you can: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +* Control in Azure AD who has access to Windchill. |
| 22 | +* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Windchill with their Azure AD accounts. |
| 23 | +* Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +You'll configure and test Azure AD single sign-on for Windchill in a test environment. Windchill supports **SP** and **IDP** initiated single sign-on. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 28 | +> Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant. |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | +## Prerequisites |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +To integrate Azure Active Directory with Windchill, you need: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +* 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). |
| 35 | +* One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal. |
| 36 | +* An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/). |
| 37 | +* Windchill single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Add application and assign a test user |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Windchill application from the Azure AD gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### Add Windchill from the Azure AD gallery |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Add Windchill from the Azure AD application gallery to configure single sign-on with Windchill. 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). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Create and assign Azure AD test user |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +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. |
| 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, 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). |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Configure Azure AD SSO |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Complete the following steps to enable Azure AD single sign-on in the Azure portal. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +1. In the Azure portal, on the **Windchill** application integration page, find the **Manage** section and select **single sign-on**. |
| 58 | +1. On the **Select a single sign-on method** page, select **SAML**. |
| 59 | +1. On the **Set up single sign-on with SAML** page, select the pencil icon for **Basic SAML Configuration** to edit the settings. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +  |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +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. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +1. If you wish to configure the application in **SP** initiated mode, then perform the following step: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + In the **Sign on URL** textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: |
| 68 | + `https://<hostname:port>/Shibboleth.sso/Login` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + > [!NOTE] |
| 71 | + > This value is not real. Update this value with the actual Sign on URL. Contact [Windchill Client support team](mailto:[email protected]) to get the value. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the **Basic SAML Configuration** section in the Azure portal. |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | +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. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +  |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +1. On the **Set up Windchill** section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +  |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Configure Windchill SSO |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +To configure single sign-on on **Windchill ** side, you need to send the downloaded **Federation Metadata XML ** and appropriate copied URLs from Azure portal to [Windchill support team ](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### Create Windchill test user |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon at Windchill. Work with [Windchill support team ](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Windchill platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## Test SSO |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +#### SP initiated: |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +1. Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal. This will redirect to Windchill Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +1. Go to Windchill Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +#### IDP initiated: |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +1. Click on **Test this application** in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Windchill for which you set up the SSO. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +1. You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Windchill 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 Windchill 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). |

| 110 | +## Next steps |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Once you configure Windchill 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). |
