Learn about the Azure AD Integration.

Azure AD Integration

Azure AD is a popular identity management product that can be integrated with Wavefront to enable single sign-on.

Azure AD Setup

After setting up the Azure AD integration, users can authenticate to Wavefront through Azure AD instead of using a password. New users who did not exist in Wavefront are auto-created on the Wavefront side when they authenticate for the first time.

Step 1. Run the Azure AD Wizard

An Azure AD Premium subscription is required.

  1. Sign in to the Azure Portal as a Global Administrator or Co-admin.
  2. On the Home page, click Azure Active Directory.
  3. From the navigation menu on the left, select Enterprise Applications and click New Application.
  4. To go to the app library, click the Info bar.
  5. Click Non-gallery application.
  6. Enter Wavefront as the application name and click Add.
  7. Select the Wavefront application and click Single sign-on in the navigation menu on the left.
  8. From the Mode drop-down menu, select SAML-based Sign-on.
  9. In the Identifier field enter https://YOUR_CLUSTER.wavefront.com:443.
  10. In the Reply URL field, enter https://YOUR_CLUSTER.wavefront.com/api/saml/login.
  11. Select user.mail from the User Identifier pulldown menu in the User Attributes section.
  12. Download the metadata XML file from the SAML Signing Certificate section.
  13. In the Notification Email section, enter the email address of the person or group that maintains the SSO integration at your company.
  14. Click Save at the top to save your changes.

Step 2. Send the Identity Provider Metadata to Wavefront and Complete the Setup

  1. Log in to your Wavefront instance as a user with SAML IdP Admin permissions.
  2. From the gear icon in the top right corner, select Self Service SAML.
  3. From the Identity Provider drop-down menu, select Azure AD.
  4. Paste the downloaded metadata from Step 1 into the Configure Connection text box.
