Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with BenQ IAM

  • Artikkeli

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate BenQ IAM with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate BenQ IAM with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to BenQ IAM.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to BenQ IAM with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • BenQ IAM single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

  • BenQ IAM supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.

To configure the integration of BenQ IAM into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add BenQ IAM from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type BenQ IAM in the search box.
  4. Select BenQ IAM from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for BenQ IAM

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with BenQ IAM using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in BenQ IAM.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with BenQ IAM, perform the following steps:

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

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > BenQ IAM > Single sign-on.

  3. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  4. 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

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps:

    a. In the Identifier text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://service-portal.benq.com/saml/init/<ID>

    b. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://service-portal.benq.com/saml/consume/<ID>

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

    In the Logout URL text box, type the URL: https://service-portal.benq.com/logout

    Note

    These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Reply URL. Contact BenQ IAM Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  7. BenQ IAM 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.

  8. In addition to above, BenQ IAM application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.

    Name Source Attribute
    displayName user.displayname
    externalId user.objectid

  9. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Certificate (Base64) and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

    The Certificate download link

  10. On the Set up BenQ IAM section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

    Copy configuration URLs

Create a Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you'll create a test user called B.Simon.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a User Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Users > All users.
  3. Select New user > Create new user, at the top of the screen.
  4. In the User properties, follow these steps:
    1. In the Display name field, enter B.Simon.
    2. In the User principal 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. Select Review + create.
  5. Select Create.

Assign the Microsoft Entra test user

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

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > BenQ IAM.
  3. In the app's overview page, select Users and groups.
  4. Select Add user/group, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
    1. In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
    2. 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.
    3. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.

Configure BenQ IAM SSO

  1. Login BenQ IAM with BenQ Admin Account, click SSO Setting in the Account Management section.

    a. In the Login/SSO URL textbox, paste the Login URL value which you copied previously.

    b. In the Identifier/Entity ID textbox, paste the Identifier value which you copied previously.

    c. Open the downloaded Certificate (Base64) into Notepad and paste the content into the Certificate(Base64) textbox.

    d. Copy Identifier value, paste this value into the Identifier text box in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

    e. Copy Reply URL value, paste this value into the Reply URL text box in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

    f. Click Next.

Create BenQ IAM test user

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

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to BenQ IAM Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the BenQ IAM 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 BenQ IAM 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 BenQ IAM 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 BenQ IAM 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 Defender for Cloud Apps.
