Azure AD integration

User Authentication

Configuring Azure AD

• Open the Azure Portal and select the directory to use for single sign-on.
• Navigate to Enterprise Applications > Add an Application > Non-Gallery Application.
• Pick a name for your application and click the Add button.
• You should now be in the dashboard for the Kpow application.
• Navigate to Single Sign-On, select SAML as the single sign-on method.

Configure as follows:

Basic SAML Configuration

• Identifier (Entity ID): set this to {% product-name /%}

• Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): Your Kpow instance SAML URL, e.g:

  https://kpow.corp.com/saml
  

• Leave the other fields blank

SAML Signing Certificate

Download the Federation Metadata XML file and optionally Certificate (Raw). Save these for later.

Integrate Kpow and Azure AD SSO

Set the following environment variables and start Kpow.

• AUTH_PROVIDER_TYPE=saml

• SAML_RELYING_PARTY_IDENTIFIER= The Identifier (Entity ID)

• SAML_ACS_URL= The Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)

• SAML_METADATA_FILE= The path to the Federation Metadata XML file, e.g.

  /var/saml/azure-metadata.xml
  

• SAML_CERT=(optional) The path to the Certificate (Raw) .pem file, e.g.

  /var/certs/azure-saml-cert.cer
  

Kpow will now authenticate users with Azure AD.
