In a detailed account, STRABAG outlines their integration process of Azure single sign-on (SSO) with Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) to enhance security and streamline user authentication within their on-premises web applications. The integration, primarily aimed at managing search operations and processing over 25,000 log entries per minute, involved setting up a highly secure authentication system using Azure Active Directory's (Azure AD) SAML protocol. The process is described in three steps: creating an enterprise application on Azure to serve as the authentication entity, configuring a SAML provider on the ECE platform, and testing the setup. By leveraging Azure AD's capacity for managing corporate identities, STRABAG successfully implemented a secure SSO solution, allowing users seamless access to ECE, with a fallback option available through admin accounts for added security.
