How to set up SSO using Azure AD

This article will guide you through setting up single sign-on (SSO) with Azure AD.

Before you get started, make sure you have done the following:

You have read and understood the SSO limitations page.
You have read and understood the feature comparison page, as SSO users will not be able to login to the Dashlane desktop apps.
You have signed up for a Dashlane Business Plan. Dashlane Team does allow enabling SSO.
You have access to the SSO Identity Providers metadata and console (if applicable)
You have the ability to create an Ubuntu VM—no further linux experience is required!

Prepare the Azure Enterprise SSO Application

Select ‘New application’
Select ‘non-gallery application’
Give it a name like “Dashlane SSO” and click add
Go to the Dashlane SSO enterprise application properties page, and click the ‘set up single sign on’ button.
On the Select a single sign-on method, select SAML
Go to the section for the SAML Signing Certificate > Federation Metadata XML and click the link to Download
Follow the Dashlane connector setup guide

Now that the SSO connector is configured, download the SSO connector metadata by going to
https://sso connector url>/saml from your web browser. This is the URL you configured Dashlane administrator console > Settings > SAML SSO > SSO connector endpoint.
- For example: https://dashlanesso.dashlaneinc.com/saml
The SSO connector metadata will download to automatically when you connect to the URL.
In your Azure Enterprise Application, upload the metadata file you downloaded in step 10.

Once uploaded, you will see the Entity ID and Reply URL are populated, if for some reason they do not auto-populate you can enter the following in the fields manually.
- Identifier (Entity ID): https://<connector endpoint url>/saml
- Reply URL (ACS URL) https://<connector endpoint url/callback
In Azure, add your desired users or groups rights to the newly created application.
Login to https://console.dashlane.com > Settings > SAML SSO > test SSO connection.
