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

## Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Visual Paradigm Online
50+
51+
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Visual Paradigm Online 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 Visual Paradigm Online.
52+
53+
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Visual Paradigm Online, perform the following steps:
54+
55+
1. **[Configure Microsoft Entra SSO](#configure-microsoft-entra-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
56+
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.
57+
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.
58+
1. **[Configure Visual Paradigm Online SSO](#configure-visual-paradigm-online-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
59+
1. **[Create Visual Paradigm Online test user](#create-visual-paradigm-online-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Visual Paradigm Online that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user.
60+
1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
61+
62+

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).

120+
121+
## Configure Visual Paradigm Online SSO
122+
123+
To configure single sign-on on **Visual Paradigm Online** side, you need to send the downloaded **Federation Metadata XML** and appropriate copied URLs from Microsoft Entra admin center to [Visual Paradigm Online support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
124+
125+
### Create Visual Paradigm Online test user
126+
127+
In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Visual Paradigm Online. Work with [Visual Paradigm Online support team](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Visual Paradigm Online platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
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 Visual Paradigm Online Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
134+
135+
* Go to Visual Paradigm Online Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
136+
137+
* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Visual Paradigm Online tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Visual Paradigm Online 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 Visual Paradigm Online 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).
