Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) SSO Setup
This guide walks you through configuring Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) as your identity provider for Zenovay Single Sign-On.
SSO requires a Scale or Enterprise plan and Owner or Admin permissions in Zenovay, plus admin access to the Microsoft Entra admin center.
SAML 2.0 Setup with Microsoft Entra ID
Step 1: Create an Enterprise Application
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center
- Go to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications
- Click New application
- Click Create your own application
- Enter a name (e.g., "Zenovay") and select Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery)
- Click Create
Step 2: Configure SAML
- In your new application, go to Single sign-on in the left menu
- Select SAML as the single sign-on method
- In the Basic SAML Configuration section, click Edit and enter:
| Entra ID Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Identifier (Entity ID) | https://auth.zenovay.com |
| Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) | https://auth.zenovay.com/api/sso/saml/callback |
- Click Save
Step 3: Configure Attributes & Claims
- In the Attributes & Claims section, click Edit
- Verify the NameID claim is set to:
- Source: Attribute
- Source attribute:
user.userprincipalnameoruser.mail - Name identifier format:
Email address
The default attribute mappings are usually sufficient. Optionally add:
| Claim Name | Source Attribute |
|---|---|
firstName | user.givenname |
lastName | user.surname |
Step 4: Download Certificate and Get IdP Values
- In the SAML Certificates section:
- Download the Certificate (Base64)
- In the Set up Zenovay section, copy:
- Microsoft Entra Identifier — this is your IdP Entity ID
- Login URL — this is your SSO URL
Step 5: Assign Users and Groups
- Go to Users and groups in the left menu
- Click Add user/group
- Select the users or groups who should have access to Zenovay
- Click Assign
Step 6: Configure Zenovay
- In Zenovay, go to Settings > Authentication > SSO
- Click Add SSO Provider
- Select SAML 2.0
- Enter:
- Name: e.g., "Microsoft Entra ID"
- Entity ID: the Microsoft Entra Identifier from Step 4
- SSO URL: the Login URL from Step 4
- Certificate: paste the contents of the downloaded Base64 certificate
- Click Save
- Add and verify your email domain
Step 7: Test
- Open an incognito window
- Go to auth.zenovay.com
- Enter an email from your verified domain
- You should be redirected to Microsoft login, sign in, and return to the Zenovay dashboard
Troubleshooting
- AADSTS50011 (Reply URL mismatch): Ensure the reply URL / redirect URI is exactly
https://auth.zenovay.com/api/sso/saml/callback(SAML) orhttps://auth.zenovay.com/api/sso/oauth/callback(OIDC) - User not assigned: Users must be assigned to the enterprise application to sign in
- Certificate expired: Download a new certificate from the SAML Certificates section and update it in Zenovay
- Tenant type: For OIDC, ensure you selected "Single tenant" if SSO is only for your organization
