Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's enterprise identity and access management cloud service, which helps to manage multiple on-premises infrastructure components and systems using a single identity per user.
First step: creating a SAML application
1. On the Azure portal homepage click the Azure Active Directory icon.
2. Navigate to Enterprise Applications.
3. Click + New application.
4. Click + Create your own application, enter GanttPRO as the name for the app, and select the Non-gallery application.
5. On the left panel open Single sign-on tab and choose SAML.
6. Click on the edit icon in the Basic SAML Configuration block (step 1) and fill in the following fields:
- Identifier (Entity ID) - ganttpro. Make it the default identifier and delete any other identifiers.
- Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) - https://ganttpro.com/enter/external/sso/saml/complete
- Logout URL - https://ganttpro.com/enter/external/sso/saml/logout
7. Click on the warning message to fix the default identifier
Optionally, you can set a GanttPRO logo in the Properties tab on the left panel. Download the logo here.
Second step: exchanging configuration details
1. Download Certificate (Base64) from the SAML Signing Certificate block.
2. Copy the details below from the Set up GanttPRO block.
- Login URL
- Azure AD Identifier
- Logout URL
After that, open Profile settings in GanttPRO web based Gantt chart app and select Security. Introduce those details in the Single sign-on (SSO, SAML) window to set up SSO for your GanttPRO account. Once you set up SSO for your account, you will be able to log in both ways: through the GanttPRO main page and Azure AD.
Third step: adding users to the GanttPRO application
1. On the left panel choose Users and Groups tab and click the +Add user/group button.
2. Select a user from the list and click the Assign button.
Please note that in Azure AD users should be added to the GanttPRO application with the same email address that they used to register in GanttPRO. Please email our Support team at support@ganttpro.com if you need to update your email address on file.
In the My Apps you can now quickly access the GanttPRO application.
