Tutorial: Azure Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration with EZOfficeInventory

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

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

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.
  • EZOfficeInventory single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  • EZOfficeInventory supports SP initiated SSO.
  • EZOfficeInventory supports Just In Time user provisioning.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Add EZOfficeInventory from the gallery

To configure the integration of EZOfficeInventory into Azure AD, you need to add EZOfficeInventory 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.

  4. To add new application, select New application.
  5. In the Add from the gallery section, type EZOfficeInventory in the search box.
  6. Select EZOfficeInventory 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 EZOfficeInventory

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with EZOfficeInventory 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 EZOfficeInventory.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with EZOfficeInventory, perform the following steps:

  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 EZOfficeInventory SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create EZOfficeInventory test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in EZOfficeInventory 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 EZOfficeInventory 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 pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    Edit Basic SAML Configuration

  4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, enter the values for the following fields:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.ezofficeinventory.com/users/sign_in

    [!NOTE] The value is not real. Update the value with the actual Sign-On URL. Contact EZOfficeInventory Client support team to get the value. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

  5. EZOfficeInventory 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.
