Description

The Digizuite™ DAM Center (DC) supports Azure Active Directory (AAD) from the API server level (. This is done to enable AAD login from Digizuite products (Incl. satellite applications) and from the DAM Center client. This allows Single Sign On -on (SSO) functionality for Microsoft and Azure accounts.

The solution supports both single and multi-tenant directory applications. AAD may be setup set up individually per client application, however, to support AAD for any client it is necessary to enable the server configuration.

Prerequisites

1. Azure directory account information.
2. All other external login functionality must be disabled (e.g. AD, ADFS).
3. Template user id (for mapping rights and roles within the DAM Center).
4. If DAM Center client should use AAD itself, an app registration must be done in AAD.

Ad 3)

When a user tries to log into the DAMCenter using AAD, the email value in AAD must exist as a user in DAM. If you specify a template member id, the user will be auto-created using that template. Alternatively you can create the user up front. Just as long as you remember that the identifier from AAD is the user email. 

Ad 4)

Open the Azure portal https://portal.azure.com and navigate to "Azure Active Directory"→"App Registrations" and click the button to create a new registration. Enter a name for the application, e.g. "DAM Center" and the URL for the site. Then press "Save".  Access the "Reply URLs" list and add the URL for the application.

Configuration examples

DAM Center API server only:

<azureActiveDirectory>
    <server enabled="true" templateMemberId="23" />
  </azureActiveDirectory>

This configuration enables other clients to use AAD, however the DAM Center client itself will use ordinary login.
