Active Directory Integration

The Active Directory integration will allow you to authenticate the users of your app against your own existing Active Directory user pool. CivicPlus's Active Directory integration uses SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0.

Important Note

• This integration is separate from the Custom IdP integration with Active Directory and CivicPlus. 

Instructions

1. To use the Active Directory integration, you must have an Active Directory App configured. In the example below we are using the Enterprise application and choosing the Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery) option
   
2. In CivicOptimize, navigate to Apps and click Manage on your app
   
3. Navigate to the User tab
   
   
   • Note: Users can be added manually on this screen. Instead of using the out-of-the-box user pool, you can instead choose to integrate with your existing SAML SSO (single sign-on) provider. 
4. Toggle on the Enable switch under Integrate with a SAML SSO Provider
   
5. Follow the SAML Configuration & Instructions
