Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Second Nature AI

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Second Nature AI 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 Second Nature AI.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Second Nature AI, perform the following steps:

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

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

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

Configure Second Nature AI SSO

To configure single sign-on on Second Nature AI side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from Microsoft Entra admin center to Second Nature AI support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Second Nature AI test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Second Nature AI. Second Nature AI supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Second Nature AI, a new one is created after authentication.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to Second Nature AI Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center and you should be automatically signed in to the Second Nature AI 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 Second Nature AI 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 Second Nature AI 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 Second Nature AI 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.
