Hi @HS08 

To use Microsoft Entra ID as the source identity in your firewall policies, follow these general steps:

  1. Create an Enterprise Application in Microsoft Entra ID:

    • Log in to the Azure portal.
    • Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > Enterprise applications.
    • Click New application and select Create your own application.
    • Name your application and choose Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery).
    • Click Create.
  2. Configure SAML SSO:

    • In the newly created application, go to Single sign-on and select SAML.
    • Configure the SAML settings with the necessary information from your firewall’s documentation. This typically includes the Identifier (Entity ID), Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL), and Sign-on URL.
  3. Assign Users and Groups:

    • Go to Users and groups in the application settings.
    • Assign the users or groups that need access through the firewall.
  4. Configure the Firewall:

    • Access your firewall’s management interface.
    • Navigate to the authentication settings and select SAML as the authentication method.
    • Enter the SAML configuration details provided by Microsoft Entra ID, such as the SAML Entity ID, SAML SSO URL, and SAML Certificate.
  5. Create Firewall Policies:

    • Define firewall policies that use the authenticated user identity from Microsoft Entra ID.
    • Specify the users or groups from Microsoft Entra ID in the source identity field of the firewall policy.
