Seamlessly integrate Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) with KiteSuite for secure single sign-on (SSO) access.

KiteSuite provides easy integration with Azure AD so your entire organization can log in with their Microsoft accounts using SSO.

KiteSuite supports SSO integration with Google, Microsoft, and Okta, all of which use SAML 2.0.

Supported feature

Service Provider-Initiated SSO

You can easily initiate Sign in with Microsoft from KiteSuite via:

https://app.kitesuite.com/users/login → Click on Single Sign-On

Requirements for Microsoft SSO with KiteSuite

  • You must have an Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) Admin account.

  • You should have a Business/Enterprise plan enabled with KiteSuite.

  • Your Workspace owner/admin should enable SSO for your Workspace.
    ​

Steps to link KiteSuite with your Microsoft account

1. Go to Azure AD Admin Portal

Sign in at: https://portal.azure.com

Navigate to:

Azure Active Directory → Enterprise applications

2. Create a New Enterprise Application

  • Click New Application

  • Choose Create your own application

  • Enter a name (example: KiteSuite SSO)

  • Select Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery application)

  • Click Create

3. Configure SAML Settings

  1. In the application overview, go to Single sign-on.

  2. Select SAML.

  3. Fill in the following fields:

    • Identifier (Entity ID): Provided by KiteSuite

    • Reply URL (ACS URL): Provided by KiteSuite

    • Name ID format: EmailAddress (set to user.mail)
      ​

4. Download Federation Metadata

  • Download the Federation Metadata XML file from Azure AD.

  • Keep this file handy — you’ll need to upload it to KiteSuite.

5. Map User Attributes & Claims

Add the following claim mappings in Azure AD:

  • user.mail → email

  • user.givenname → firstName

  • user.surname → lastName

Save the configuration.

6. Enable App for Users
