# Configure the SAML 2.0 Integration for Microsoft Entra ID

After you have [configured Microsoft Entra ID to authenticate on Cortex XSOAR](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/authenticate-users-with-saml-2.0/set-up-microsoft-entra-id-as-the-identity-provider-using-saml-2.0/configure-microsoft-entra-id-to-authenticate-cortex-xsoar.md), you can then configure an integration instance for SAML 2.0 in Cortex XSOAR.

1. Create a SAML 2.0 integration instance.
   1. Go to Settings → Integrations → **Instances**.
   2. Search for **SAML 2.0** and click **Add instance** to configure a new integration.
   3. Add the metadata/URL parameters from Microsoft Entra ID to Cortex XSOAR.

      | Cortex XSOAR field         | Microsoft Entra ID Portal field                                    |
      | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
      | Service Provider Entity ID | **Identifier (Entity ID)** (Basic SAML Configuration Section)      |
      | IdP metadata URL           | **App Federation Metadata URL** (SAML Signing Certificate Section) |
      | Idp SSO URL                | **Login URL** (SAML Signing Certificate section)                   |

      The following Microsoft Entra ID metadata/URL information has been added to the SAML 2.0 attributes in Cortex XSOAR:

      ![azure-login.png](/files/iTdO1xmstt2ZJlHhoPVr)
   4. In the following fields, copy the Microsoft Entra ID attributes exactly how they appear in Microsoft Entra ID (in Microsoft Entra ID, go to User Attributes & Claims → **Edit**). For example, in the **Attribute to get email** field, type **`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress`**.

      In this example, we have the following Claim Names:

      ![azure-addclaims.png](/files/SoZJHSKcZFl9uBc74raW)

      | Cortex XSOAR SAML 2.0 field | Microsoft Entra ID Portal Claim Name Examples                            |
      | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
      | Attribute to get username   | **`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname`**    |
      | Attribute to get email      | **`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress`** |
      | Attribute to get first name | **`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name`**         |
      | Attribute to get last name  | **`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/surname`**      |
      | Attribute to get groups     | **`http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/role`**       |

      Add the phone attribute, if required.
   5. Select the **Verify the Idp response signature** and add the **Idp Public certificate**, which you downloaded in step 5.5 in [Configure Microsoft Entra ID to Authenticate Cortex XSOAR](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/authenticate-users-with-saml-2.0/set-up-microsoft-entra-id-as-the-identity-provider-using-saml-2.0/configure-microsoft-entra-id-to-authenticate-cortex-xsoar.md)).

      If your Identity Provider requires signed authentication requests, select **Sign request** and input the public/private certificate pair generated for Cortex XSOAR.
   6. Select the ADFS and Compress encode URL (ADFS) checkboxes.
   7. In the **Service Identifier (ADFS)** field, copy the characters after the **`appid`** value, which can be found at the end of the App Federation Metadata URL (section 3 in SAML Certificate).
   8. In the **IdP Single Logout URL**, from Microsoft Entra ID, copy the Logout URL (section 4).
   9. In the **Single Logout Service Endpoint** add the details in the following format:

      **`https://<cortex xsoar-url>/saml-logout`**
   10. To verify that the settings are successful, in the instance settings, click **Get service provider metadata**.

       For a full list and descriptions of the fields, see [SAML 2.0 Microsoft Entra ID Parameters](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/authenticate-users-with-saml-2.0/set-up-microsoft-entra-id-as-the-identity-provider-using-saml-2.0/configure-the-saml-2.0-integration-for-microsoft-entra-id/saml-2.0-microsoft-entra-id-parameters.md).

       If you click **Test** a bug is issued similar to this:

       ![azure-bug.png](/files/MBjfV15yCTqObgJ6iCKX)

       You need to login with a user to test the instance. It is recommended to test this also on the Microsoft Entra ID app, as there are detailed error reports and troubleshooting.
2. Map the Microsoft Entra ID groups to Cortex XSOAR roles.
   1. In Microsoft Entra ID, select Microsoft Entra ID Active Directory → Enterprise applications → name of your application → Assign users and groups → **Name of your group**.
   2. Copy the **Object ID**.

      For example, we created a group, called XSOAR Administrator.

      ![azure-admin.png](/files/RQh3QCOoiIpws41BHK3P)
   3. In Cortex XSOAR, go to Settings → Users and Roles → **Roles**.
   4. Create or edit an existing role, as described in [Define a Role](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/roles-in-cortex-xsoar/define-a-role.md).
   5. In the **SAML Roles Mapping** field, type the **Object ID** that you copied in step 2.

3. Click **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/authenticate-users-with-saml-2.0/set-up-microsoft-entra-id-as-the-identity-provider-using-saml-2.0/configure-the-saml-2.0-integration-for-microsoft-entra-id.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
