| 17 | +# 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.

| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## 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 | +## Configure Microsoft Entra SSO |

| 93 | +  |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### 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). |

| 106 | + 1. Select **Review + create**. |
| 107 | +1. Select **Create**. |
| 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 Visual Paradigm Online. |
| 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). |

| 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 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). |
