Microsoft Entra ID

How to configure Single Sign-On between AutoRABIT and Microsoft Entra ID

Overview

This step-by-step guide shows you how to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) in AutoRABIT using Microsoft Entra ID—formerly Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)—as your SAML 2.0 identity provider (IdP).

When you connect AutoRABIT to Entra ID, you can:

  1. Control in Entra ID which users can access AutoRABIT.

  2. Let users sign in to AutoRABIT automatically with their Entra ID credentials.

  3. Manage all accounts centrally from the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  1. An active Microsoft Entra ID subscription.

  2. Administrator permissions in both AutoRABIT and Entra ID.

  3. AutoRABIT added to Entra ID as a non-gallery application.

Configure SSO in Entra ID

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  2. In the left pane, select Entra ID ▸ Enterprise applications.

  3. Choose All applications from the Application type filter.

  4. Click New application. In Add from the gallery, search for autorabit and press Enter.

  5. Select AutoRABIT, rename it if desired, then click Add.

  6. Open the AutoRABIT app page and select Single sign-on.

  7. In Select a single sign-on method, choose SAML.

  8. On Set up single sign-on with SAML, click the Edit (pencil) icon in Basic SAML Configuration.

  9. Enter the following values and click Save:

    Field
    Value format
    Example

    Identifier (Entity ID)

    https://<instanceURL>/saml/metadata

    https://xyz.com/saml/metadata

    Reply URL

    https://<instanceURL>/saml/SSO

    https://xyz.com/saml/SSO

    Sign-on URL

    https://<instanceURL>

    https://xyz.com

  10. Under SAML Signing Certificate, click Download next to Federation Metadata XML and save the file locally.

Complete the setup in AutoRABIT

  1. Sign in to AutoRABIT.

  2. From the navigation bar, hover over Admin and select My Account.

  3. In My Account, scroll to SSO Configuration.

  4. Upload the metadata XML file you downloaded from Entra ID.

  5. Sign out of AutoRABIT.

  6. Go to the AutoRABIT login page and click Single Sign On.

  7. Enter your AutoRABIT domain, click Go, and sign in with your Entra ID credentials.

After completing these steps, users assigned to the AutoRABIT application in Entra ID can access AutoRABIT with seamless single sign-on.

Microsoft Entra ID SSO with Tenant ID and Object ID Mapping

Overview

AutoRABIT now provides enhanced Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO) support using Tenant ID and Object ID mapping.

Previously, SSO authentication primarily relied on matching the Microsoft Entra ID username with the AutoRABIT username. With this enhancement, administrators can map an AutoRABIT user directly to their Microsoft Entra identity using Tenant ID and Object ID.

This provides greater flexibility, particularly when the username in Microsoft Entra ID differs from the username configured in AutoRABIT.

Prerequisites

Before configuring this feature:

  1. Microsoft Entra ID SSO must already be configured for AutoRABIT.

  2. You must have access to the user's Tenant ID and Object ID in Microsoft Entra ID.

  3. You must have appropriate administrator permissions in AutoRABIT to edit user details.

Locate the Tenant ID in Microsoft Entra ID

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  2. Navigate to Entra ID > Overview.

  3. Under Basic information, locate the Tenant ID.

  4. Copy the Tenant ID.

The Tenant ID identifies the Microsoft Entra tenant associated with the user.

Locate the User Object ID

  1. In the Microsoft Entra admin center, navigate to Entra ID > Users.

  2. Select the required user.

  3. On the user's Overview page, locate the Object ID.

  4. Copy the Object ID.

The Object ID uniquely identifies the user within the Microsoft Entra tenant.

Configure the User in AutoRABIT

Edit the required user in AutoRABIT and configure the following fields:

  • Microsoft SSO Tenant ID – Enter the Tenant ID obtained from Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Microsoft SSO Object ID – Enter the Object ID of the corresponding Entra user.

Save the user configuration after entering the required details.

How does SSO authentication work?

AutoRABIT validates the user's SSO identity in the following order:

Scenario
SSO Result

Tenant ID and Object ID are valid

Login successful, even when the Entra ID username and AutoRABIT username are different

Tenant ID/Object ID do not provide a valid match, but the Entra ID username matches the AutoRABIT username

Login successful using the existing username-based authentication

Tenant ID/Object ID do not provide a valid match and the usernames do not match

Login unsuccessful

This maintains compatibility with the existing username-based SSO flow while providing a more reliable identity-mapping option through Microsoft Entra IDs.

Key Benefits

  • Supports SSO when the Microsoft Entra ID and AutoRABIT usernames are different.

  • Provides more precise user mapping using unique Microsoft Entra identifiers.

  • Retains support for the existing username-based SSO authentication.

  • Gives administrators greater flexibility when managing users across Microsoft Entra ID and AutoRABIT.
