Summary

This short series of steps enables Azure admins to connect their Azure AD instances to Bigeye for single sign on. Upon completion, your employees will be able to login to Bigeye via Azure AD.

Part 1: Determine your connection name

Your connection name will be a combination of your domain and your SSO provider. Please contact Bigeye to determine your name.

To register your app with Azure AD, see Microsoft's Quickstart: Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform

During this registration, configure the following settings:

To create the client secret, follow the steps in Microsoft's Quickstart: Add credentials

Part 3: Gather required information for Bigeye

To configure your SSO into Bigeye, the following information will need to be gathered:

  • Microsoft Azure AD Domain (e.g. mycompany.onmicrosoft.com)
    • This can be gathered from the Overview screen. If not present there, it is the Publisher domain on the Branding and Properties page
  • Client ID
    • This can be gathered from the application's Overview screen. It is the _Application (client) ID
  • Client Secret (from the step above)

Part 4: Securely provide application information to Bigeye

  1. In a new tab open up One Time Secret (https://onetimesecret.com/). This will allow you to securely share your app’s sensitive details with the Bigeye team via an encrypted link.
  2. In the first text box, paste in your app’s Azure AD Domain, Client ID, and Client Secret, each separated by a new line.
  3. Below, create a simple pass code for your secret.
  4. Below, select 1 Day as your Lifetime.
  5. Click Create a secret link.
  6. Once the link has been created, share the link along with the pass code to your Bigeye team over Slack or email. The Bigeye team will complete the configuration our end and let you know your integration is ready.
