thingworx SSO implementation with Azure

Vipul_Oswal · ‎Apr 25, 2023

We are trying to set up SSO implementation via Azure AD (Guess Okta is not supported yet for SSO). We are working with Azure Team and had few questions.

https://support.ptc.com/help/identity_and_access_management/en/index.html#page/iam/AzureADCreateEnterpriseApp.html#wwID0E5J1O – In this document

At Step 1 – Basic SAML Configuration

2nd Point

In Basic SAML Configuration, enter the following information:
Indentifier (Entity ID) – Will be used as the value of the metadataEntityId in the BasicSettings component of the sso-settings.json file.

Question - What would be the entity ID here just a string unique within our SAML infrastructure?

For example, if my identifier is "mycompanyidp", We could create the entity ID URL https://sso.mycompany.com/mycompanyidp?

Would appreciate any help. Thanks

Regards,

Vipul

Hey,

yes, entityID is just a name you can choose within your AD. I'm not sure what you mean with 'entityID URL'., you only need to define the entityID. You can however use the mentioned URL as an entityID.

The entityID you chose in Azure you also need to set then in the TWX sso-settings.config "Indentifier (Entity ID) – Will be used as the value of the metadataEntityId in the BasicSettings component of the sso-settings.json file.".
