Configuring Azure Active Directory Integration with SAML
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a universal platform designed to protect and manage access to identities. The Azure AD service provides SSO access to apps and services from anywhere.
- Using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a user can use their managed account credentials to sign in to enterprise cloud applications via Single Sign-On (SSO). An Identity Provider (IdP) service provides administrators with a single place to manage all users and cloud applications.
- You don’t have to manage individual user IDs and passwords tied to individual cloud applications for each of your users. An IdP service provides your users with a unified sign-on across all their enterprise cloud applications.
- Invicti Enterprise supports the SAML methods, both IdP initiated and SP initiated.
- You can also create a new user in Invicti Enterprise with the Enable Auto Provisioning option.
If you encounter any problem while setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) integration, see Troubleshooting SSO Issues.
You have to use IdP-initiated SSO if you want to utilize Auto Provisioning.
If you will use SP-initiated SSO, please set the Name ID Format value to email address on the IdP side.
Single Sign-On Fields
This table lists and explains the Single Sign-On fields in the Azure Single Sign-On window.
| Field | Description |
| Enable | Select this option to enable the single sign-on feature. |
| Enforce to authenticate only with single sign-on | Enable this option so only administrator users can authenticate without single sign-on. Users can only sign in to Invicti Enterprise by using the email address that belongs to their employer. |
| IdP Identifier | This is the SAML identity provider’s Identifier value. |
| SAML 2.0 Service URL | This is the Consumer URL value (also called the SSO Endpoint or Recipient URL). |
| SAML 2.0 Endpoint | This is the URL from your IdP’s SSO Endpoint field. |
| X.509 Certificate | This is the X.509 certificate value. |
How to add Netsparker Enterprise to Azure Active Directory
- Log in to the Azure Portal.
- On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
- Select Enterprise applications, then All Applications.
- Select + New Application.
- In the Browse Azure AD Gallery (Preview) window, type Netsparker Enterprise in the search box.
- Select Netsparker Enterprise from the results panel.
- Select Create to add the application.
Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant. You can now configure Azure Active Directory Single Sign-On Integration with SAML. To do this, you need an Invicti Enterprise and Azure account
If you have not assigned any role to your users, they can still log in to Invicti Enterprise but will not have any role/permission to use the application. To add roles to your users, please see How to add users and groups to Invicti Enterprise application in Azure Active Directory.
How to Configure Azure Active Directory Single Sign-On Integration with SAML
- Log in to the Azure Portal.
- Select Enterprise Applications.
- From the Enterprise Application page, select Netsparker Enterprise.
- Select Set up Single Sign-On > SAML.
- Click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
- Log in to Invicti Enterprise, and from the main menu, select Settings > Single Sign-On. Select Azure Active Directory from the drop-down list. Copy the URL from the SAML 2.0 Service URL field.
- In Azure Active Directory, paste this URL into the Reply URL field.
- Select Save.
Please set Unique User Identifier to user.mail in the User Attributes & Claims section.
- In Azure Active Directory, copy the URL from the Azure AD Identifier field and paste this URL into the IdP Identifier field in Invicti Enterprise.
- In Azure Active Directory, copy the URL from the Login URL field and paste this URL into the SAML 2.0 Endpoint field.
- In Azure Active Directory, download the Certificate (Base64). Open the certificate with a text editor.
- Copy the content of it into the X.509 Certificate field in Netsparker Enterprise.
- Select one or all of the following options, if necessary:
- Enable Auto Provisioning: If enabled, an account will be automatically created for IdP-registered users when they first access Invicti Enterprise. To do so, you must complete the FirstName, LastName, and Phone Number (optional) fields in the Attribute Statements on the IdP side. For further information about OnlySsoLogin, see Provisioning a member.
- Require SAML assertions to be encrypted: If enabled, it prevents third parties from reading private data in transit from assertions. There are two options:
- Generate a new certificate for me: Invicti generates a key pair. Invicti will keep a private key to decrypt received SAML messages and provide you with a certificate so that you can upload it on the IdP side.
- I have an existing certificate: You need to upload your certificate to Invicti by importing a decryption certificate from your files.
- Use Alternate Login Email: If enabled, this lets users use alternative email for SSO. So, you can enter an alternative email on the New Member Invitation page and while editing the user’s details on the Team page.
- Select Save Changes.
