SKY SSO (Single Sign-On)

For more information or to enable SSO, reach out to SSI Support.

Step 1: Add New Application in Azure AD

  1. Log in to the Azure Portal.
  2. In the Azure Services section, choose Azure Active Directory.
  3. In the left sidebar, choose Enterprise applications.
  4. Choose New application.
  5. On the Browse Azure AD Gallery page, choose Create your own application.
  6. Under What’s the name of your app?, enter a name for the application and select Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery), as shown in the image below.
  7. Choose Create.

It will take few seconds for the application to be created in Azure AD. The Overview page should then display for the newly added application.

Note: Occasionally, this step can result in a Not Found error even though Azure AD has successfully created a new application. If that happens, in Azure AD, navigate back to Enterprise applications and search for the application by name.

Step 2: Set Up Single Sign-On Using SAML

  1. On the Getting Started page, choose Get Started on the Set up single sign on card.
  2. On the next screen, select SAML.
  3. In the middle pane under Set up Single Sign-On with SAML, choose the Edit icon in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
  4. In the right pane under Basic SAML Configuration, enter the Identifier ID (Entity ID) and the Reply URL below.
    • Entity ID: urn:amazon:cognito:sp:us-east-1_FOTVuspmd
    • Reply URL: https://skyusers-prod.auth.us-east-1.amazoncognito.com/saml2/idpresponse
  5. Choose Save.
  6. In the middle pane under Set up Single Sign-On with SAML, choose Edit in the User Attributes & Claims section.
  7. Choose Add a group claim.
  8. On the User Attributes & Claims page, select Groups assigned to the application in the right pane under Group Claims. Leave Source attribute as Group ID.
  9. Choose Save.

This adds the group claim so that Amazon Cognito can receive the group membership detail of the authenticated user as part of the SAML assertion.

  1. In a text editor, note the Claim names under Additional claims, as shown in Step 8 above. These will be needed when creating attribute mapping in Amazon Cognito.
  2. Close the User Attributes & Claims screen by choosing the X in the top right corner. The Set up Single Sign-on with SAML page will display.
  3. Scroll down to the SAML Signing Certificate section, and copy the App Federation Metadata Url by choosing the Copy to Clipboard icon. Keep this URL in a text editor, as it will be needed in the next step.
  4. Add users to the app in Azure (Entra) with the same email as the SKY User to use in their company.
