Configure Contensis to use Azure AD

Log in to add to favourites

With your Contensis application registered in Azure AD, the next step is to login to Contensis and configure the Azure AD integration.

  1. Login to Contensis using an administrative account.
  2. Navigate to the Management Console and select Global Settings, you need to enter the following settings:

WSFederation_MetadataEndpoint

This needs to be set to your Azure AD metadata endpoint address. This can be found by following these steps:

  1. Select Azure Active Directory, followed by App Registrations and then select Endpoints from the top toolbar.
  1. Update the WSFederation_MetadataEndpoint global setting. The value for this is different depending on whether you are using the current Azure AD configuration (WSFederation_Type=3) or the legacy configuration (WSFederation_Type =2):
    • Legacy Azure AD configuration (WSFederation_Type =2): Copy the Federation Metadata Document address from the textbox.
    • Current Azure AD configuration (WSFederation_Type =3): Copy the OpenID Connect metadata document address from the textbox

WsFederation_AzureTenantID

This needs to be set to your Azure AD tenant ID. This can be found by following these steps:

  • Select Azure Active Directory, followed by Properties. Your tenant ID is the same as your Directory ID. Enter this in the WSFederation_TenantID global setting.

WsFederation_AzureTenantName

This needs to be set to your Azure AD tenant name. This can be found by following these steps:

  • Select Azure Active Directory, followed by Custom domain names. Your tenant name is the name of your primary domain. Enter this in the WSFederation_TenantName global setting.

WsFederation_AzureApplicationID

This needs to be set to the application ID of the registered Contensis app in Azure. This can be found by following these steps:

  • Select Azure Active Directory, followed by App registrations then select the Contensis application. Your application ID is listed on the application overview. Enter this in the WSFederation_ApplicationID global setting.

WsFederation_AzureApplicationKey

  1. Navigate to your application and click All settings and then select Keys from the secondary menu.
  1. Enter a description, choose an expiration and then click Save.

Note: Once you navigate away from this screen you will not be able to retrieve the key again. In the event that you lose the key value then you will need to delete the key and add a new one.

  1. Enter the value of the key into the WSFederation global setting.

WSFederation_Type

This needs to be set to 2 for Azure AD accounts created before October 2021, and to 3 for any created later.
