Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Single Sign-On (SSO) setup

This article provides specific instructions for 6clicks SSO integration with Microsoft Entra ID

To create a new 6clicks application (type: SPA OpenID Connect) in Microsoft Entra ID, you will need administrative permissions. The entire setup falls under Entra ID in your Azure portal. The steps are as follows:

1. Register the application

   1. Configure authentication
   2. Set up 6clicks roles
   3. Add in Branding & Properties (optional)
2. Configure the enterprise application
   1. Assign users or groups to the roles

3. Configure SSO in 6clicks

   1. Copy Client ID
   2. Copy Issuer URL
   3. Finish the SSO setup in 6clicks
4. Enable login from Azure Dashboard

1. Register the application

In your Azure portal, head to Microsoft Entra ID → App Registrations → + New Registration

Enter the application name (e.g. 6clicks - tenant name) and click Register

Configure authentication

From the navigation menu, select Authentication, then click + Add a Platform and choose Single-Page Application (SPA). Configure the following fields:

• Redirect URIs: Set to https://{6clicks host name}/account/login (e.g. https://app-au.6clicks.io/account/login)

• Front-channel logout URL: https://{6clicks host name}/account/login (e.g. https://app-au.6clicks.io/account/login)

• ID Tokens: Tick the box for ID tokens

Note:  The Redirect URI and Front-channel logout URL information for your tenant is available in the 6clicks Administration/Single Sign-On fields Callback URI and Logout URI, respectively.

Click Configure

Set up 6clicks roles

The next step is setting up the 6clicks roles, which will appear in the tokens as a part of the SSO process. This is done on the App Roles page:

• Display Name: This is a free-form text field, but we suggest using the 6clicks role name

• Allowed Member Types: Tick the Users/Groups option

• Value: The group name you set up in Entra should follow the role name you are mapping to in 6clicks using the following format: "6clicks-role-<role name>".

  For example:

  • 6clicks-role-Administrator

  • 6clicks-role-Users

  • 6clicks-role-CustomRole1

  If you cannot create the group name in this format, it is possible to set up a custom mapping from the 6clicks role to the Entra group name. This can be done under Administration → Single Sign-On in the 6clicks application, under the IdP group mappings section.
  
  

• Description: This is a free-form text field. We suggest specifying a description that explains what the role is and how it is used.

Make sure to tick the checkbox to enable the app role. Once complete, click Apply to proceed.

Add in Branding & Properties

On the Branding & Properties page which you can select from the navigation menu, you can add in terms of service URIs and upload a logo. This step is optional.

You can download the 6clicks logo from our Media Kit

2. Configure the enterprise application

Under Microsoft Entra ID → Enterprise Applications, search and find your new 6clicks application

Assign users or groups to the roles

Next, select Users and Groups, then + Add User/Group

Match the users or groups to the roles you previously defined

 

3. Configure SSO in 6clicks

In Azure, open the App Registrations → Overview page corresponding to your new app. You will need to copy information from this page into 6clicks.

Copy Client ID

The Application (client) ID is found on the Overview screen

Copy Issuer URL

The Issuer URL is found by clicking the Endpoints tab. The value of the Issuer URL should be the value of the OpenID Connect Metadata Document field in the Endpoints screen but without the "/.well-known/openid-configuration" portion as per the below example. Based on the example, the Issuer URL would be https://login.microsoftonline.com/c23cd644-3174-4e6e-b486-65f047dd58b4/v2.0.

 

Finish the SSO setup in 6clicks

Once you have the Issuer URL and the Client (application) ID, return to the 6clicks SSO page to complete the configuration.

Go to Administration → Single Sign-on, and choose Enable Single Sign-on for users.

Select Microsoft from the drop-down list.

Enter the Issuer URL and Client (application) ID using the values obtained in the previous step, and the Domain(s) used by your organization to login.

4. Enable login from Azure Dashboard

Back in Azure, go to Microsoft Entra ID → Enterprise Applications

Find your app by searching

Open the app. Go to Properties, find the Visible to users? field and select Yes.

Update the Homepage URL to https://{6clicks host name}/account/initiate-sso?clientId={client Id of application}

Users with access to the application should now be able to see it on their dashboard at https://myapplications.microsoft.com/.
