Configure Azure AD using WS-Federation 1.0

Overview

To integrate your Customer Portal with your corporate Azure AD you need to carry out the configuration steps as described in this section.

Note that these are done only once, typically by an admin user of your Customer Portal having access to your Azure AD.

We recommend considering using the SAML 2.0 protocol before using WS-Federation. See Configure Azure AD using SAML 2.0.

 

Once you have carried out these steps users sign in to any cloud-based service directly via your Azure AD, as described at Signing in the Bizagi Cloud Portals and Applications.

 

Before you start

The Customer Portal and cloud-based services supports Azure AD using the WS-Federation protocol. The WS-Federation supported version is 1.0. Other versions are not supported. You need to consider before you start.

 

To have already users into the Customer Portal

When integrating any Identity Manager, you need to synchronize authorized accounts so they can access Bizagi 's cloud-based portals.

Synchronizing means importing or updating the account's primary identifiers. The Bizagi's account email must match with the attribute considered as the identifier in ADFS. See Create company users.

 

Bizagi does not store passwords when integrating an Identity Manager.

You cannot have two or more users with the same email, because it is considered as part of the primary identifier.

 

Once you have verified in the Customer Portal that there has been at least an initial import of your users into Bizagi, you may proceed.

 

What you need to do

An outline describing the configuration needed to sign in with Azure AD considers these steps:

Select the Open ID connect option in the protocol drop-down list, and configure these settings:

Display name: name of the authenticator displayed in the Customer Portal.

Description: Brief description of the authenticator.

Metadata Address: This is the ADFS federation metadata URL. This URL must be accessed via HTTPS while the authenticator is active. This URL must allow downloading the XML metadata file.

Define the domains

If you need to activate multiple authenticators, you can define the email domains associated with each authenticator. See Multiple authenticators for cloud-based portals.

Finally you need to activate the authenticator. Before activating the new authenticator, review carefully your configuration settings. Bizagi displays a warning message when activating the protocol.

To test your configuration we recommend that all users log out and opening a new tab using incognito mode, or use a different browser. If the configuration with a new IdP fails, you can restore the authentication protocol.
