Setting Up Single Sign On With Microsoft Azure

 This short guide will walk you through how to configure Office 365 and Clearooms for Single sign-on

Introduction

If you use Office 365 within your organisation, setting up single sign-on will allow all of your users to access Clearooms without needing to invite them and for them to remember additional passwords.

! When you turn SSO on in the portal this will become the only way to login, should the set up be incorrect or you need to turn it off for any reason the url below will allow you to login using your username and password.

You can download this guide to PDF below or follow the guide online here

Get your Clearooms SSO Settings

To set up single sign-on, you will need to let Office 365 know your unique Clearooms Entity ID, ACS URL, and Start URL.

To get this, in Clearooms head to Settings > Single Sign-On and toggle the Enable SAML Based Single Sign-On switch. This won't turn it on immediately for users at this stage but it will show you the required information you will need.

Changing the Display Name

By default, we concatenate first name and last name to generate the users display name.  If you wish to change this behaviour you can send an additional claim as part of your SSO response with the display name that you wish to use.
  • Click Edit under Attributes and Claims

  • Click Add New Claim
  • Add a new claim called formattedname along with  the namespace http://schemas.clearooms.com/identity/claims
  • Set the source attribute to the attribute you wish to send, or create a transformation then click save.
