  1. Click Save.
User Attributes and Claims Configuration

This may be left as-is with this consideration:

  • User Unique Identifier (Name ID) must be the intended unique user email address that will be utilized in OWS. This may be user.userpincipalname or user.mail depending on how your Azure AD is administered.
  • If JITP is enabled then groups must also be added (in addition to Name ID, Surname, and Given Name) by Edit:
  1. Click Add a group claim.

  2. Leave Group ID as the default for Source Attribute.
  3. Click Save.
SAML Signing Certificate Configuration

Download the Federation Metadata XML file here and copy the contents into the Identity Provider Metadata field in OWS and click Save on the OWS side.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Complete

Single sign-on setup is now complete minus provisioning. Some form of provisioning will likely be required. Both JITP and Automatic Azure AD Provisioning (recommended, see below) are supported.

Azure AD Automatic Provisioning Configuration

To configure provisioning via Azure AD, remain on the same setup page in OWS as per the SSO setup instructions and do the following:

  1. In Azure AD, go to Manage > Provisioning.
  2. Click Get started.
  3. Choose Automatic for Provisioning mode.

  1. For Tenant URL put in the URL found in OWS under Base URL (SCIM v2 API) (e.g. https://www.wscloudenv.net/api/scim/v2).
  2. For Secret Token put in the value found in OWS under API Token (SCIM v2 API). Generate this token if necessary via SCIM API Token button.

  1. Click Save.
  2. Go back to the main page of the Enterprise Application that you are managing and go to Manage > Provisioning.
  3. Click Start provisioning to initiate the provisioning process. There may be a delay of up to 40 minutes for provisioning updates but the initial provisioning cycle usually begins in less than 5 minutes.
