Tutorial: Integrate ExpenseIn with Azure Active Directory

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate ExpenseIn with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate ExpenseIn with Azure AD, you can:

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to ExpenseIn.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to ExpenseIn with their Azure AD accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

To learn more about SaaS app integration with Azure AD, see What is application access and single sign-on with Azure Active Directory.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • ExpenseIn single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

Adding ExpenseIn from the gallery

To configure the integration of ExpenseIn into Azure AD, you need to add ExpenseIn from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
  2. On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
  3. Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
  4. To add new application, select New application.
  5. In the Add from the gallery section, type ExpenseIn in the search box.
  6. Select ExpenseIn from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Configure and test Azure AD SSO for ExpenseIn

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with ExpenseIn using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in ExpenseIn.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with ExpenseIn, complete the following building blocks:

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

Configure Azure AD SSO

Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.

  1. In the Azure portal, on the ExpenseIn application integration page, find the Manage section and select Single sign-on.

  2. On the Select a Single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  3. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, click the edit/pen icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Edit Basic SAML Configuration

  4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, the user does not have to perform any steps as the app is already pre-integrated with Azure.

  5. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL: https://app.expensein.com/saml

  6. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and click Download to download the Certificate (Base64) and save it on your computer.

  7. On the Set up ExpenseIn section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

  1. From the left pane in the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory, select Users, and then select All users.
  2. Select New user at the top of the screen.
  3. In the User properties, follow these steps:
    1. In the Name field, enter B.Simon.
    2. In the User name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example, B.Simon@contoso.com.
    3. Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
    4. Click Create.

Assign the Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use Azure single sign-on by granting access to ExpenseIn.

  1. In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.

  2. In the applications list, select ExpenseIn.

  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.

  6. If you're expecting any role value in the SAML assertion, in the Select Role dialog, select the appropriate role for the user from the list and then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.

  7. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
