SAML integration with Microsoft Azure

Here are the steps in order to make SAML integration with Microsoft Azure

Step 1: Create a New Enterprise Application

Log in to the Azure Portal and navigate to Enterprise Applications.
Click New application.
Select Create your own application.
Enter a name for your application.
Ensure the option Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery) is selected.
Click Create to proceed.

Step 2: Configure Single Sign-On (SSO)

In the newly created application, go to Set up single sign on.
Select the SAML option.

Step 3: Basic SAML Configuration

In the Basic SAML Configuration section, click Edit.
Enter the following values:
Identifier (Entity ID): https://www.cloudns.net
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): https://www.cloudns.net
Click Save to apply these settings.

Step 4: Download and Upload Federation Metadata

Download the Federation Metadata XML file from Azure.
Log in to ClouDNS and upload the XML file in the SAML configuration popup.

Step 5: Update ASC URL

After uploading the Federation Metadata XML file to ClouDNS, an ASC URL will be generated.
Return to the Basic SAML Configuration in Azure and click Edit again.
Update the following fields using the ASC URL:

• Identifier (Entity ID): https://www.cloudns.net
• Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): https://www.cloudns.net/saml/user/XXXXX (Replace the URL with the ASC URL generated at ClouDNS.)
• Sign on URL (Optional): https://www.cloudns.net/saml/user/XXXXX (Replace the URL with the ASC URL generated at ClouDNS.)

Save the changes.

Step 6: Upload the Updated Metadata XML

Download the updated Metadata XML file from Azure.
Return to ClouDNS, upload the new XML file in the SAML configuration popup, and click Add to complete the setup.

Step 7: Assign Users and Groups

In Azure, go to Users and groups within the application.
Assign access to the relevant team members to enable their login through SSO.

Step 8: Test the Application

Use the Test this application feature in Azure to verify the integration.
Once the test is successful, your team members will be able to log in to ClouDNS using Azure SSO.
