Configure Single sign-on in Azure

From Holm Security, copy the Single sign-on data from within your account in Security Center. You can find out what fields to use here: How do I set up Single sign-on?

Fill in the copied data to the section in Azure named Basic SAML Configuration.
Note: the red zone in the below image contains the unique token strings

Ensure that the configuration algorithm and options match these values exactly:

  • Signing Option = Sign SAML response and assertion
  • Signing Algorithm =SHA-256 or SHA-1

In the section User Attributes & Claims it is configured how attributes from the user are mapped to the user inside of the Security Center. Read more here: Single sign-on user attribute mapping

The below fields are mandatory, and the default values are normally enough (red-marked in the image):

  • emailaddress
  • Unique User Identifier (also referred to as NameID)

Finally you can add the users or groups that should have access to Security Center, via this SSO app, by navigating to Users and groups in the left panel menu:

Configure mapping of roles

By default a user will be of the lowest privileged role User inside of Security Center. To assign a Superuser role to the user you can use Azure roles together with attribute mapping.

Navigate to the section User Attributes & Claims and press on the edit action at the top right corner.

Select Add new claim and enter the following information as a minimum:

Proceed by pressing Save

This will allow you to assign the appropriate role to the users who should be mapped in to being a Superuser inside of Security Center. 

The supported role name (value) for the userrole attribute can be found here: User attribute mapping

 

The recommended approach is to create a new unique role inside of Azure AD using the supported names. This role can then be assigned on the users who should have the Superuser role inside of Security Center.
