Azure Active Directory SSO

Enable Azure Active Directory Single Sign-On (SSO) for your Squadcast Organisation

Squadcast supports SAML 2.0-based Single Sign-On (SSO) login for Azure Active Directory users. You can integrate your Squadcast Organization with your Azure Active Directory SSO by following this integration guide.

Pre-requisites

  1. Account Owner / Administrator account in Squadcast

Point to Note:

1. Only an Administrator / Account owner can enable and configure Azure Active Directory SSO for an Organisation in Squadcast. 2. Once enabled, only the Account Owner can use email-password-based login by default although, it can be configured to enable email-password-based login for Administrators as well.

Setup Guide

1. Login to app.squadcast.com and navigate to Settings > Extensions. Click the Configure button under SSO.

2. In the opened modal, select the Custom SAML 2.0 tab and click Show configuration guide for Custom SAML 2.0

As given in the displayed guide, copy the ACS URL shown in point 1

3. Then, go to your Azure Active Directory dashboard and click on Enterprise applications from the left navigation

4. Click on Create your own application to create an application for Squadcast

5. In the side panel, give a name for the application (such as Squadcast), select Non-gallery Application, and click on Create.

6. For the newly created app, in the left pane under Manage, select Users and groups

Now, click on Add User

7. Find and add the users you want to, along with the appropriate Role

8. In the left pane under Manage, click Single sign-on and select SAML

9. Edit the Basic SAML Configuration section

In both, the Identifier (Entity ID) and Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) placeholders, paste the ACS URL you copied previously from Squadcast here

10. Next, edit the User and Attributes Claims section

Remove the namespace and use:

  • first_name for source attribute user.givenname

  • email for user.mail

  • last_name for user.surname

11. Click on the Edit icon in the SAML Signing Certificate section

Here, download the PEM certificate

12. From under the Setup Squadcast section, copy the Login URL

13. Back in Squadcast, in the previously opened modal:

  • Paste the copied Login URL in the placeholder for SAML 2.0 Endpoint

  • Copy the contents of the PEM Certificate in the placeholder for X.509 Certificate

  • Enter the domain name of your Organization

Note:

Make sure to add the Domain Name of your Organization, for SSO login to work

  • Provisioning new users can default to a particular User Role from the drop-down

  • You can allow Account Owners and Admins to also log in using their email credentials in addition to SSO. This can be done by checking the boxes for those options

  • You can simply provision new users on their first log in by enabling the checkbox for the same

Once all of this has been configured based on your requirements, click on Save

14. That’s it, your configuration is now complete!

For testing this SSO integration and if it's working as expected, go back to the Azure Active Directory SSO portal, and click on Test

Then, click Sign in as a current user to verify your login to Squadcast!

15. Activate this SSO integration by enabling the toggle

16. To login to Squadcast via Azure Active Directory SSO from here on, within your Office 365 account, click on App Launcher, click on All Apps and you will be able to see Squadcast there. Unless you have enabled email-password-based login for your User Role, you will not be able to login to Squadcast using email-password from our web app login page.

Logging in from the Squadcast mobile app when Azure AD SSO is enabled:

The user needs to first access and log in to myapplications.microsoft.com in the mobile browser. Here, they will be able to see the configured SSO (for Squadcast, as shown in the screenshot below). They can simply click on the icon to log in.

Important:

  1. We do not support the provisioning and syncing of Groups from Azure AD SSO into Squadcast. We support this only for Users.

  2. To login to the Squadcast web app when Azure AD SSO is enabled, users can use My Apps Secure Sign-in Extension for easy login.
