How to Configure Microsoft Entra ID Authentication

The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to configure and authenticate Microsoft Entra ID as an identity provider for the workspace.

5. From the drop-down menu, select Microsoft Entra ID.

6. The Add Identity Provider page opens. Specify the values for the following:

   • Display Name – Enter display name.

7. Click Save.

8. In the Identity Providers table, you can see that the identity provider Microsoft Entra ID has been added and that under the fieldname STATUS there is the warning Authorization Needed.

   

9. To authenticate with your identity provider, click Authorization Needed. Provide your admin Microsoft Entra ID credentials and click Sign in.

10. The Permission requested page opens. Click Accept.
