In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate SAP Litmos with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate SAP Litmos with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to SAP Litmos.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to SAP Litmos with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • SAP Litmos single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

  • SAP Litmos supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • SAP Litmos supports Just In Time user provisioning.
  • SAP Litmos supports Automated user provisioning.

To configure the integration of SAP Litmos into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add SAP Litmos from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type SAP Litmos in the search box.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for SAP Litmos

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with SAP Litmos, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure SAP Litmos SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create SAP Litmos test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in SAP Litmos that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to SAP Litmos Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to SAP Litmos Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the SAP Litmos for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the SAP Litmos 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 SAP Litmos for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
