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

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

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to Harness.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Harness 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.
  • Harness single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  • Harness supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.

Note

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

Add Harness from the gallery

To configure the integration of Harness into Azure AD, you need to add Harness 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 Harness in the search box.
  6. Select Harness 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 Harness

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Harness 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 Harness.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Harness, 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 Harness SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Harness test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Harness 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 Harness 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, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following step:

    In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://app.harness.io/gateway/api/users/saml-login?accountId=<harness_account_id>

  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 the URL: https://app.harness.io/

    [!NOTE] The Reply URL value is not real. You will get the actual Reply URL from the Configure Harness SSO section, which is explained later in the tutorial. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal.

  6. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

    The Certificate download link

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

  2. Select New user at the top of the screen.
  3. In the User properties, follow these steps:

    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 Harness.

  1. In the Azure portal, select Enterprise Applications, and then select All applications.
  2. In the applications list, select Harness.
  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
  4. Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
  5. In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
  6. If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.
  7. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.

Configure Harness SSO

  1. To automate the configuration within Harness, you need to install My Apps Secure Sign-in browser extension by clicking Install the extension.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

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

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

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Harness 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 Harness 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 Harness for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure Harness 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 Cloud App Security.
