Sign in to Your White Label Dashboard Through Microsoft Entra
Single Sign-On (SSO) is like having a master key to unlock all the doors you need, instead of carrying a bunch of different keys for each door. đď¸
In the digital world, these "doors" are websites or apps, and the "key" is your username and password. Normally, you'd have to remember separate passwords for each app or website you use. But with SSO, you log in once with one set of credentials, and you're automatically logged into all the connected apps without typing in your info again.
When logging in to Accelevents, aside from the default single sign-on options, you can integrate platforms that provide Single Sign-On, such as Microsoft Entra.
When integrated with Accelevents, Microsoft Entra allows event organizers to securely and easily access the Accelevents platform using SSO. This means your team can log in through a central authentication system (Microsoft Entra), streamlining the process and improving security. Itâs secure, convenient, and saves a lot of hassle.
Accelevents supports Azure AD for Event Admin authentication.
When are Admins Asked to Authenticate?
Once the SSO is configured, admins will be asked to authenticate on 2 different occasions:
When they sign in to the Accelevents platform or White Label Dashboard.
When they attempt to open the event from the Organizer Portal or White Label Dashboard, they will be prompted to re-authenticate their credentials.
Configuring Microsoft Azure AD
Go to the Azure portal and create an account. If you don't have one, here is the link to Azure Portal.
Create a new tenant in Azure Active Directory. If you have an existing one, you can use it. Here is the link that will help you to create a new tenant: Create a tenant.
Create a non-gallery enterprise application. Here is the link that will help you to create one: Create an application.
When you create an enterprise application, youâll see a screen like this:
Click Set up single sign-on and select SAML as a single sign-on method and you will get the configuration page like this:
Set the Identifier (Entity ID). You can set the value to something like this com:accelevents:spring:sp (please replace the name "accelevents" with your name).
Now set the Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL). This URL is used by the Azure IDP to call the Service Provider. In our case, the Service Provider is this application. Here you can set the Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) like this https://www.accelevents.com/e/{eventUrl} so you can add multiple URLs.
Set the Sign on URL to âhttps://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.comâ and click on Save.
Click on Overview and copy the Application (client) ID (for later use), then click on Application ID URI. It will redirect to another page.
Click on the edit icon to change Application ID URI value, then remove the existing value and set the Application ID URI like this api://{Application (client) ID}.
In our example case, the Application (client) ID is âb8995798-fed5-4e66-97a0-ee371c487a2bâ so the value should be something like this api://b8995798-fed5-4e66-97a0-ee371c487a2b then click Save and go back to the Overview page.
Next, click on Redirect URIs. Youâll be redirected to the Platform configurations page.
Click the Add a platform button, then click on the single-page application.
Youâll see a new slide pop-up with the title: Configure single-page application. You can enter your event URL link, for example: https://www.accelevents.com/e/test-event
Click the Configure button.
You can add multiple event URLs by clicking the Add URI button for your White Label.
Then edit the Redirect URIs and replace them with "https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.comâ
You can add users who need access to this application as required.
To add users or groups to this application, hereâs an article for reference: Add Users or Group
Once youâre done with Azure Configuration, you should have the
Application (client) ID from Azure IDP so you can configure Accelevents for your White Label account.
