In this article we will cover:

I want to set up SSO when logging in. How can I do so?

  1. Reach out to [email protected] and let them know you want to set up SSO

  2. Follow the Legl Single Sign-On setup with Azure AD & Enterprise Applications step by step guide below

  3. Test SSO with [email protected]

Please follow the guide below to set up SSO through Azure:

Legl Single Sign-On setup with Azure AD & Enterprise Applications

These instructions are to set up Single Sign-On (SSO) for accessing Legl via an Azure Active Directory (AD) as an Enterprise application.

This will allow users the ability to seamlessly log into Legl with their AD credentials and provisioning of users to be managed through Azure also.

In order to complete these steps admin permissions in Azure are required.

Steps

  1. Go to https://account.legl.com/saml_metadata.xml and download the XML file

  2. From the Azure dashboard, click on “Enterprise applications” (or search to find it)

1. Click “New application”

2. Click “Create your own application”

3. Give it the name “Legl” and make sure “Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery)” is selected

4. Wait for that to finish and then click “Get started” under “Set up single sign on”

5. Select “SAML”

6. Click “Upload metadata file” and upload the XML file from step 1

7. On the panel that slides in, scroll down to “Relay State” and enter the relay state value you have been provided (this is the same as your law firm’s Legl subdomain, e.g. for “example.legl.com” you would put “example” as the Relay State).

8. Click Save

9. Under step 3 (“SAML Signing Certificate”) click “Download” on “Federation Metadata XML”

10. Send that XML file to [email protected] via email

11. You will receive a link to access your Legl account

The setup is complete, you can now invite users to Legl from your account Settings page and they will be redirected to login with their AD accounts

How do I test SSO with support?

After you have sent the XML. file to [email protected], you will be asked to test SSO before migrating all users over.

SSO will need to be tested with one account. Let the support team know who's account you want to test it with (which could be your account or a colleague).

After the test runs smoothly, everyone will be moved to SSO.

I don't use Azure, are there other identity management tools I can use?

We should be able to support any SAML compatible IDPs, however we have experience supporting the setup of:

Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD)

Okta

For other IDPs, please let [email protected] know and they'll be happy to help.
