Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration

  • บทความ

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

Note

This integration is also available to use from Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Microsoft Entra 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 Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

  • Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration supports IDP initiated SSO.

To configure the integration of Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration 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 Kemp LoadMaster Microsoft Entra integration in the search box.
