Microsoft Entra ID

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up Microsoft Entra ID in Coalesce.

Microsoft Entra ID Administrator

You must be a Microsoft Entra ID Administrator to complete this process.

Before You Begin

Get Your Subdomain

You'll need your subdomain to complete setup, it's used as part of the redirect URI.

Your subdomain is the subdomain of your Coalesce instance. For example, if you login at https://testapp.app.coalescesoftware.io/. Your subdomain is testapp. You can also check your subdomain by going to your organizations single sign-on settings.

If the Subdomain box in your settings is blank, you need to create a subdomain for your organization by adding one in the settings.

Microsoft Entra ID Permissions

When selecting Use Single-Sign On with Microsoft Entra ID, you may be prompted to grant Coalesce permission to:

  • Sign you in and read your profile
  • Maintain access to data you have given it access to
  • Microsoft Graph:
    • email
    • profile
    • User.Read
    • openid

These permissions can be pre-approved for future users by an admin in Microsoft Entra ID.

  1. Go to Manage > App Registrations > Your App Registration > API Permissions.
  2. Then select Add a permission > Microsoft Graph > Delegated Permissions and then select the desired permissions to pre-approve for the non-admin users.

Configure Microsoft Entra ID

To use Microsoft Entra ID as your Single Sign-On provider, you'll want to create a new App Registration in Azure.

  1. Go to the Overview panel in Azure Active Directory

  2. Click the +Add dropdown

  3. Select App Registration

    Azure Active Directory home page
  4. On the registration page for this newly created integration, enter the following:

    1. Name - this is typically going to be Coalesce but any friendly name works
    2. Supported Account Types - choose which Account types to support, see the following screenshot.
    3. Make sure you choose Single Page Application (SPA).
    4. Redirect URI - The redirect URI should be formatted as follows - https://mySubdomain.<app_domain>/login/callback.
      1. Create a subdomain if one hasn’t already been defined for your organization. We recommend choosing a name specific to your organization. If the Subdomain box in your Single Sign-On Settings is blank, you can create one by adding it in the subdomain box.
