Microsoft Azure AD (B2E)

Learn how to integrate Strivacity with Microsoft Azure AD (B2E) so that your enterprise users can log into Strivacity protected applications.

Strivacity can use Microsoft Azure AD (B2E) as a Directory Service and an Identity Provider, enabling any user accounts within Azure to log in to any Strivacity configured applications.

The integration with Azure AD uses Strivacity's Enterprise Login.

They're two steps required to setup a your Strivacity instance to use Azure AD as an Identity Provider:

Step 1: Configuring Azure AD with a Registered Application

Step 2: Configuring Strivacity to use Azure AD (as an Identity Provider)

Step 1: Configuring Azure AD with a Registered Application

1) Login into portal.azure.com

2) Select Azure Active Directory

3) Select App Registrations, as below

Field NameValue/Description

Supported Account TypesThis defines the scope of who can use the application. You will need to determine this based upon your own use case
Redirect URIThis will be the callback URI to your Strivacity instance, in the format of https://[Strivacity instance URL]/provider/continue

5) The details for the newly created Strivacity application will now be displayed as shown below:

🚧

Make note of the Value field as this is the actual client secret you will use on the Strivacity side. This value will only be accessible when you initially create the secret. Do not use the ID/Secret ID field.

9) This completed the setup and configuration of Azure AD with a registered application for Strivacity to use. You can now proceed to step 2, below.

Step 2: Configuring Strivacity to use Azure AD (as an Identity Provider)

Now that Azure AD (B2E) has been configured to use Strivacity as an external application, we now need to setup Strivacity to use Azure AD as an (external) Identity Provider.

1) Start by logging into the Admin Console using an admin account

2) From the left-hand menu, select External Login, then Enterprise Login

3) From the Social Login screen, click the + Create Enterprise Login Provider button from the top right hand corner

4) From the Create Enterprise Login Provider screen click the Azure Active Directory icon as shown below:

Create enterprise login provider page

5) The Create Azure Active Directory screen will now be displayed as shown below:

6) Once Client ID, Client Secret and Azure AD tenant ID are filled, Strivacity will auto-discover the extra metadata needed.

7) Map the claims according to your Azure AD usage.

PS: special attention to the e-mail claim, very often the source path (meaning the claim Azure AD is sending to Strivacity) needs to change to "upn".

The table below provides guidance on how to complete and use these fields:

Field NameDescription
NameDefine a name for this Enterprise OIDC Login Provider. This name is used to refer to this provider throughout Strivacity.
Login Button TextThis is the text that is displayed on the login button on the log-in screen. If no custom text is displayed here then the name will be used.
DescriptionDefine a description to help other Strivacity admins understand what this provider is used for.
Client IDThe Client ID was previously automatically generated by Azure AD during Step 1.5 above. Microsoft refer to this as the Application (client) ID.
Client SecretThe Client Secret was created in Step 1.8 above. Be sure to use the Value field, as noted.
Azure Tenant IDThe Azure Tenant ID was previously automatically generated by Azure AD during Step 1.5 above. Microsoft refer to this as the Directory (tenant) ID.
Auto DiscoveryThe Azure AD (B2E) auto-discovery URL should be entered using the following format: https://login.microsoftonline.com[Tenant ID]/.well-known/openid-configuration. The Tenant ID is available from within the Azure Portal.
Authorization EndpointThe Authorization Endpoint will be displayed here based on auto-configuration from the auto-discovery URL.
Token EndpointThe Token Endpoint will be displayed here based on auto-configuration from the auto-discovery URL.
IssuerAny Issuer Information will be displayed here based on auto-configuration from the auto-discovery URL.
Userinfo EndpointThe Userinfo Endpoint will be displayed here based on auto-configuration from the auto-discovery URL.

Customer Data HandlingIf you choose to synchronize and store any profile data at each login, then Strivacity will retrieve and store this information which will be visible to the customer in the My Account page and to any Strivacity Admin's when managing the customer identity.
