Tutorial: Integrate RingCentral with Azure Active Directory

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

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

Note

This integration is also available to use from Azure AD US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Azure AD US Government Cloud Application Gallery and configure it in the same way as you do from public cloud.

Scenario description

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

• RingCentral supports IDP initiated SSO.

Add RingCentral from the gallery

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

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

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

1. Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
   • Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
   • Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
2. Configure RingCentral SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
   • Create RingCentral test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in RingCentral 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 RingCentral 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.

   

4. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you have Service Provider metadata file, perform the following steps:

   1. Click Upload metadata file.
   2. Click on folder logo to select the metadata file and click Upload.
   3. After the metadata file is successfully uploaded, the Identifier and Reply URL values get auto populated in Basic SAML Configuration section.

   [!Note] You get the Service Provider metadata file on the RingCentral SSO Configuration page which is explained later in the tutorial.

5. If you don't have Service Provider metadata file, enter the values for the following fields:

   a. In the Identifier textbox, type one of the URLs:

   Identifier
   https://sso.ringcentral.com
   https://ssoeuro.ringcentral.com

   b. In the Reply URL textbox, type one of the URLs:

   Reply URL
   https://sso.ringcentral.com/sp/ACS.saml2
   https://ssoeuro.ringcentral.com/sp/ACS.saml2

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 save it on your computer.

   

Create an Azure AD test user

In this section, you'll create a test user in the Azure portal called Britta Simon.

   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 RingCentral.

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

Configure RingCentral SSO

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

   • Select Allow users to log in with SSO or RingCentral credential.

   • Click Save.

Create RingCentral test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in RingCentral. Work with RingCentral Client support team to add the users in the RingCentral platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.

Test SSO

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

• Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the RingCentral for which you set up the SSO.

• You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the RingCentral tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the RingCentral 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 RingCentral 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.
