How to Configure the Barracuda Networks App in Microsoft Entra ID

With Microsoft Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO), users sign in once using their primary organizational account to securely access web and SaaS applications. SSO enables users to authenticate to applications using their single organizational account.

The SSO environment protects defined resources (websites and applications) by requiring the following steps before granting access:

1. Authentication: Authentication verifies the identity of a user using login credentials.
2. Authorization: Authorization applies permissions to determine if this user may access the requested resource.

Adding the Barracuda Networks app to Microsoft Entra ID allows end-users to sign in using their Microsoft Entra ID credentials. Once logged in, users can view their quarantine messages.

To add the Barracuda Networks app in Microsoft Entra ID:

1. Log into the Microsoft Entra admin center (formerly Azure Active Directory) as a global administrator for the directory.
