With the Azure integration, users will be prompted to sign in your Azure application before viewing the landing page or live webinar room, and registration information can be imported into BigMarker in the process. The instructions here will show you how to connect an existing Azure account to BigMarker. If you need assistance with creating a Azure account, visit [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/?product=popular&WT.mc\_id=Portal-Microsoft\_Azure\_Support](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/?product=popular&WT.mc_id=Portal-Microsoft_Azure_Support) ### Setting up the Azure integration For either a webinar, series or event, the process will be the same. You will need to visit the [session admin](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/introducing-the-new-session-admin?hsLang=en) or the [classic dashboard](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/the-manage-webinar-dashboard?hsLang=en) and head to the **Integrations** section. Look for and click on **Azure AD.** ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-13-2026-04-22-12-4205-PM.png?width=450&height=405&name=image-png-May-13-2026-04-22-12-4205-PM.png) Once you enable the integration, you first have two-options to choose from: - **Shared SSO app** - This option uses your channel name in the SSO credentials, so you can use a single app to gate access across all content in that channel. - **Webinar-specific SSO app** - This option uses the webinar ID of the session in the SSO credentials, so the app can only be used for this particular session. In either case, you will be presented with some read-only fields: **Azure Application Callback URL** and **Audience URI**. You'll need to copy and paste the values you see in these fields into Azure, so keep this window open once you get here. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-16-2026-06-30-08-9170-PM.png?width=450&height=237&name=image-png-Sep-16-2026-06-30-08-9170-PM.png) #### Syncing Azure with BigMarker Log in to Azure and find the search bar. Search for "Azure Active Directory" or "Microsoft Entra ID."  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-02-44-32-0975-PM.png?width=425&height=216&name=image-png-May-02-2025-02-44-32-0975-PM.png) Once in these settings, in the left hand menu click on **Manage** and then **Enterprise Applications**. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-02-45-42-0887-PM.png?width=425&height=575&name=image-png-May-02-2025-02-45-42-0887-PM.png) From here, click on **New Application**, then click** Create your own Application**. Input your app name, then select **Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery)** option. Click **Create**.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-02-48-59-0307-PM.png?width=375&height=432&name=image-png-May-02-2025-02-48-59-0307-PM.png) Once the app is created in Azure, find **Single Sign On** in the left hand menu of the dashboard, then **SAML**. From there, click **Edit** on the **Basic SAML Configuration** section.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-02-51-58-8088-PM.png?width=600&height=206&name=image-png-May-02-2025-02-51-58-8088-PM.png) Click **Add Identifier** and **Add reply URL** to paste the** ACS URL **and** SP Entity ID** from BigMarker into the **Identifier** and**Reply URL** fields. Click **Save**.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-02-53-29-6921-PM.png?width=670&height=441&name=image-png-May-02-2025-02-53-29-6921-PM.png) After that has been configured, go to the **Single sign-on** section in Azure, and under the **SAML Signing Certificate** section, copy the **App Federation Metadata URL** from the SAML configuration you just created.  ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-03-00-23-9502-PM.png?width=600&height=177&name=image-png-May-02-2025-03-00-23-9502-PM.png) Paste that URL into the **Identity provider metadata** field back on BigMarker ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-03-01-22-0138-PM.png?width=600&height=141&name=image-png-May-02-2025-03-01-22-0138-PM.png) ### Additional BigMarker settings Once you complete the connection, your BigMarker content is now locked behind your Azure SSO application. From here, there are a few settings to consider: #### Map BigMarker fields to Azure App Metadata fields to import If you have information in Azure for your users in the form of metadata, you can import that information into BigMarker. In this setting you'll paste in the names of the Azure fields on the right that will correspond with the BigMarker registration fields on the left. If a user logs in to Azure, that information will be imported to BigMarker when they register. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2025-03-04-21-7619-PM.png?width=600&height=288&name=image-png-May-02-2025-03-04-21-7619-PM.png) #### Guest access and registration behavior By default, all users whether they are guests or signed-in, will be able to see the landing page of your webinar. You can change this with the setting for **SSO Implementation**, and it can be set to require SSO login before viewing the landing page. With this chosen, guests are immediately redirected away to the SSO login page if they go to the BigMarker landing page. Additionally, you can make it so users that sign in from this process will get automatically registered by turning on **Auto Register**. This is a great way to make registration that much easier for your users if you don't need them to fill out any additional registration forms. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-08-2025-06-12-31-7715-PM.png?width=412&height=308&name=image-png-Apr-08-2025-06-12-31-7715-PM.png) -
