How to Configure Microsoft Entra for Gladstone Single Sign-On (SSO)

Problem

You need to set up your Microsoft Entra account so that users can sign in to Gladstone products using Single Sign-On (SSO). This guide is for administrators preparing their Microsoft Entra tenant for use with Gladstone SSO, covering both Operator and Consumer access.

Resolution

1. Open Microsoft Entra Admin Center

   • Log in to your Microsoft Entra Admin Center.

2. Navigate to Enterprise Applications

   • In the left menu, select Identity > Applications > Enterprise Applications.

3. Create a New Application

   • Select New application.
   • Choose Create your own application.

4. Configure Application Details

   • Enter a name for the application (for example, "GladstoneGo").
   • Select Integrate any other application.
   • Click Create.

5. Assign Users and Groups

   • Go to Users and Groups within the new application.
   • Assign relevant groups for Staff and Consumer access:
     • Create and assign a group for back-office users (e.g., “Gladstone Go Staff”).
     • Create and assign a group for member access (e.g., “Gladstone Go Consumer”).

6. Configure Single Sign-On

   • Select Single Sign-on.
   • Choose SAML as the sign-on method.

7. Configure Basic SAML Settings

   • Click Edit in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
   • Enter the following:
     • Identifier: gladstonesoftware.cloud
     • Reply URL: https://samlauthentication.gladstonesoftware.cloud/api/samlauthentication/log-in-callback

8. Configure Group Claims

   • Click Edit under Attributes & Claims.
   • Add a group claim with these settings:
     • Groups assigned to the application
     • Source Attribute: Group ID

Notes

• This SSO setup enables access for both Operator and Gladstone360.
• Permissions for the applications themselves are still managed in the Gladstone Management Console (GMC) as before.
• Prerequisites:
  • Access to the Microsoft Entra Admin Center
  • Permissions to create Enterprise Applications
