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

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to ContractS CLM.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to ContractS CLM 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.
  • ContractS CLM single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

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

  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 ContractS CLM in the search box.
  4. Select ContractS CLM 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.

Create ContractS CLM test user

In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in ContractS CLM. You can create/invite a user on the ContractS CLM Member Management page. 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 ContractS CLM Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to ContractS CLM 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 ContractS CLM 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 ContractS CLM 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 ContractS CLM 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 ContractS CLM 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.
