In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Euromonitor International using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Euromonitor International.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Euromonitor International, perform the following steps:
- Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
- Configure Euromonitor International SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
- Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Euromonitor International > Single sign-on.
- On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
- In the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.
-
You need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to the Euromonitor International support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides. Wait for a reply.
-
After receiving configuration values from Euromonitor's reply, proceed below.
-
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
-
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
-
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, paste the URL provided by Euromonitor support using the following pattern:
https://auth.euromonitor.com/<CustomerID>
b. In the Reply URL text box, paste the URL:
https://auth.euromonitor.com/saml20/sp/acs
c. In the Sign on URL text box, paste the URL provided by Euromonitor support using the following pattern:
https://login.euromonitor.com/Account/ExternalLogin?provider=<PROVIDER>&returnUrl=<PROVIDER>-signin-oidc&login_hint=<CustomerID>
[!NOTE] These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Sign-on URL. Euromonitor International support team provides these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
-
Euromonitor International application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.
-
In addition to above, Euromonitor International application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.
Name Source Attribute city user.city department user.department country user.country telephonenumber user.telephonenumber jobtitle user.jobtitle companyname user.companyname -
Unless otherwise requested, Euromonitor strongly recommends the below configuration option:
In this section, you'll create a test user called B.Simon.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a User Administrator.
- Browse to Identity > Users > All users.
- Select New user > Create new user, at the top of the screen.
- In the User properties, follow these steps:
- In the Display name field, enter
B.Simon
. - In the User principal name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example,
B.Simon@contoso.com
. - Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
- Select Review + create.
- In the Display name field, enter
- Select Create.
In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use single sign-on by granting access to Euromonitor International.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
- Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Euromonitor International.
- In the app's overview page, select Users and groups.
- Select Add user/group, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
- In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
- If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.
- In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
The Euromonitor International support team configures and administers all application-side settings.
In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Euromonitor International. The SSO will allow you to self-register the test user on the application side without Euromonitor support action.
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
-
Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Euromonitor International Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
-
Go to Euromonitor International Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Euromonitor International tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Euromonitor International for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
Once you configure Euromonitor International you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
