We have PHP web application which is hosted in Azure Centos and we want to enable SAML based SSO Azure AD. Here, I have created enterprise application but not able to understand how to configure "Basic SAML Configuration", specially the attributes -
Identifier (Entity ID)?
Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)
Sign on URL
Logout Url
How to populate these values, is there any configuration required in PHP application side? I have spent good amount of time but not able to find anything related to PHP.
My PHP application looks like this (Self Signed SSL enabled):
https://127.x.x.x/samplesso/login.php (login page),
https://127.x.x.x/samplesso/products.php (After successful login)
Edit#1
As I have mentioned we have hosted php application in Azure Centos and below is the folder structure-
My application folder: /var/www/html/sample_web_app
SimpleSAMLPhp folder: /var/www/html/simplesamlphp
My PHP application Login Page:
http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/login.php
When User clicks on "Go" button, my custom php code reads email and based on domain name we have to re-direct to different Azure SSO URL (B2B/B2C). How to do this?
After successful authentication in azure, it has to re-direct to my application home page URL :
https://ipaddress/sample_web_app/home.php
Logout URL of my application: http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/logout.php
I tried with below details configuring in azure and when I access http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/, it's not even taking to Azure SSO page (php custom re-direction later)
Entity ID: http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/
Reply URL: https://ipaddress/sample_web_app/home.php
Sign On URL: http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/login.php
Logout URL: http://ipaddress/sample_web_app/logout.php
Anything missing here?
You can setup SAML Azure AD SSO for your PHP web application using SimpleSAMLphp
In the app registrations in Azure AD, select your app and click on endpoints. Copy the Federation metadata document. The federation metadata should be imported to your application.
The Identifier, Reply URL and Sign on URL should be configured in the Azure AD.
Identifier (Entity ID) : Enter a URL that uses the following pattern: 'https://.contoso.com' You can find this value as the Issuer element in the AuthnRequest (SAML request) sent by the application.
The Identifier ( Entity ID) can be similar to
https://ip-address/
Reply URL : Specifies where the application expects to receive the SAML token. The reply URL is also referred to as the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL. You can use the additional reply URL fields to specify multiple reply URLs. For example, you might need additional reply URLs for multiple subdomains. Or, for testing purposes you can specify multiple reply URLs (local host and public URLs) at one time.
If you are using SimpleSAMLphp, the reply URL should be similar to
https://ip-address/sample_web_app/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp

Our clients uses Azure AD for their operations and wanted to integrate the Azure AD MFA to our web app (PHP) for additional security. Is this possible without using the Microsoft Identity Platform (SSO)? I also cant seem to find a REST API for the Azure AD MFA. Any alternate options that I could use for implementing MFA? Some recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
If you have not already registered the php app in azure ad like below:
Quickstart: app registration-general- Microsoft identity platform | Microsoft Docs
Go for app registration in azuread .
Set Redirect URI like https://your.domain.name/oauth.php
Copy the client ID and tenant ID, to paste in _OAUTH_TENANTID and _OAUTH_CLIENTID in config.inc.
In Certificates & secrets page copy the secret value by adding a new secret,which cannot be accessed later.So copy when created.
Paste this into _OAUTH_SECRET within config.inc. Make sure _OAUTH_METHOD contains 'secret'.
You can see detailed info in here in Katy's Tech Blog .
See PHP Azure AD login with demo site (using oAuth)-GitHub reference for code configuration details.
For including multifaction authentication**(MFA)** :
You may Go to azure ad > enterprise apps and check for the app you
have just registered and create a policy to include MFA Requirement
which asks users for additional authentication with the methods you
enables like sms, phone call etc
next
Or you can directly go for conditional access and select app required while creating access policy.
After all set up in conditional access, make sure to Enable policy and save ,to start authenticating with azure ad which requires MFA.

I work as an intern in my college and we want to build an app. Of course, our university has an active directory and we use Azure and Azure also has our AD. I am building the front-end and need to implement login using Azure AD SSO. How could I do that? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
• You can refer the below code to add the identity provider’s authentication connection settings in the php application configuration files. The following code will help you to add a section to your existing php web app code in authentication sources file to configure and provision SSO through azure AD.
• Once the above code has been placed and configured in the PHP application, now add the PHP application in app registrations in Azure AD and provide the web redirect URI for your PHP application and provide the SSO configuration details in the SSO pane like federation metadata URL, SAML or WS-Fed Sign in or sign out URLs. Once done, check the below code for confirmation of SAML endpoint URL for the Azure AD configured in the PHP authentication config file.
• The below snapshot shows the how the SAML token authentication is redirected to Azure AD and its configuration in PHP app. Also, how its attributes and claims are passed from the Azure AD to the PHP app for service granting and authentication purposes.
Thus, in this way, you can configure a PHP application to authenticate with Azure AD through SSO. Please find the below links for more information: -

I have php application build in Laravel and hosted it in a server.
I have also created a (G-suit) google admin account(https://admin.google.com) with my domainname(http://www.example.com) as a admin i have created few users (abc#myhost.com, xyz#myhost.com) from the google admin console.
Now Instead of creating a full authentication system in my application, What i want is that my users can login to my php application with the email address that i have created for them as admin.
How can i do this ?
You could integrate 'simpleSAMLphp' (https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-sp) into your app. Then your app will act as a SAMLv2 ServiceProvider and will consume SAMLv2 assertions issued by Google SAMLv2 IdP (https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519?hl=en). There are also other PHP-based SP-implementations available, or you could use SAML SP Apache http server module if you are using Apache http server.
You may check this documentation about user accounts. It says that to create a user account using one of your domains, use the following POST request and include the authorization described in Authorize requests.
POST https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users
You may check on this example.
Seeking for guidance on the subject as I'm really stuck on this, I have a internal URL for an App made on PHP and I want to connect to Azure Active Directory.
So far I've reviewed an example from Microsoft using SimpleSAML but it's really outdated and I'm having troubles adapting it for the newer SimpleSAMl code.
Is there a better way to integrate a web application with Azure AD? I read somewhere that I may use Get started with Mobile Services but I would like to hear from previous experiences on what is the best/current method for using Azure AD for login on PHP?.
-- EDIT --
By integrate I mean to allow people authenticate and retrieve the email address or EmployeeID from the Azure AD to provide SSO support.
There are several scenarios Azure AD supports, depend on what you use Azure AD for. Basically, to access the resources via Azure AD from PHP web application, you can refer to Web Application to Web API section to understand this scenario and get started.
To integrate Azure AD in PHP web applications, we need to follow authorization code grant flow steps to build several custom HTTP requests. E.G. To get access token via OAuth 2.0 protocol, we should refer to the steps on Authorization Code Grant Flow, generally, we will build 2 HTTP requests to get access token:
1,Request an authorization code
The build-up URL will redirect to the sso page, after login we can get the code value which will be used in next step.
2,Use the Authorization Code to Request an Access Token:
Then we can use the access token to add the JWT string with a “Bearer” designation in the Authorization header of the request to the resource web API.
Here is a PHP test project provided by Azure for your reference.
we are migrating our AD to Azure AD and we would like to have SSO support for the internal web apps, so that when they log in into their PCs the use the azure app proxy and they're signed automatically on the PHP web apps. Is this possible?
#Vladimir, Base on my experience, it is possible. There are some scenarios you can refer to. You may need use Azure AD Connect to sync your local AD to Azure AD, and enable Azure AD SSO to integrate with you php application in your scenario.
Firstly, If you wants to integrate your On-premise AD on Azure AD, you should use the tool -- Azure AD Connect, which is used to sync up your AD into Azure AD. Please see this tutorials and video. For this action, you need have the IT administrator permission.
Secondly, you need use Federated Single Sign-On and other methods for your application on Azure Portal. You may need to configure your PHP application like this video:https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Open/Using-SimpleSAML-to-authenticate-PHP-applications-with-Azure-AD.
And if you wants to get the users information, you may need use Azure Graph API as Gary's post.
Hi I have PHP CRM running in Azure server,my requirement is that user should be able to add there own custom domains(they will do the DNS configurations seperately) to app by themselves through CRM site,is there any REST API call to achieve that,i searched a lot but couldn't find any documents from Azure,
i did find these from stack
Programatically add domain name to azure website
Add a domain to an Azure web site via code
i tried above expample using Chrome Postman app
App(instanceName) name name is "example"
"https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{myResourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{instanceName}/config/web?api-version=2015-08-01"
used both POST and PUT method
{ "properties": { "HostNames":"example.com, crm.example.com" } }
i tried these methods but all i am getting a error "Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is not present or provided in an invalid format",i believe something wrong with json values,
example.com.au is my existing website and crm.example.com is my domain name i want to add,is it correct, am i missing anything,please help me
As all of the tasks that you do on resources using the Azure Resource Manager must be authenticated with Azure Active Directory. So To implement Azure Resource Manager Rest APIs, we need to follow the steps in authenticate Azure Recourse Manager requests first to set up authentication.
Generally:
Add an application to the Azure Active Directory tenant.
Set permissions for the application that you added.
Get the token for authenticating requests to Azure Resource Manager.
--Update--
To get the access token for Azure Resource Manager, we should follow the steps shows in Authorization Code Grant Flow:
1,Request an authorization code
The build-up URL will redirect to the sso page, after login we can get the code value which will be used in next step.
2,Use the Authorization Code to Request an Access Token:
3,We can leverage the access token for authorizing the resource REST API:
--update1--
To create an app-only without user ui application, you need to follow client_credentials flow, shown in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645543.aspx.
And to your authorization issue, you need to assign a Owner role for a written permission. you can leverage azure-cli to do this.
Install the
Azure-CLI.
Connect to the
Azure-CLI.
Authenticate to your Service Principal using the Azure-CLI.
And in the 4th step in this section, you need to change Reader to Owner,
like
azure role assignment create --objectId 47193a0a-63e4-46bd-9bee-6a9f6f9c03cb -o Owner -c /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/ to assign a written permission.
