Tutorial: Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO) integration with WEDO

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

• Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to WEDO.
• Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to WEDO 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.
• WEDO single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription. Please contact WEDO Client support team to get a SSO subscription.

Scenario description

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

• WEDO supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
• WEDO supports Automated user provisioning.

Add WEDO from the gallery

To configure the integration of WEDO into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add WEDO 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 WEDO in the search box.
4. Select WEDO from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

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 WEDO

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with WEDO 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 WEDO.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with WEDO, 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 WEDO SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
   1. Create WEDO test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in WEDO that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

7. WEDO application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.

   Name	Source Attribute
   email	user.email
   firstName	user.firstName
   lastName	user.lasttName
   userName	user.userName

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

• Click Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to WEDO Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

IDP initiated:

• Click Test this application and you should be automatically signed in to the WEDO 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 WEDO 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 WEDO for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure WEDO 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.
