Before you begin:

• Determine if a connection to the Imprivata Cloud Platform has already been configured by logging into the Imprivata Admin Console. The status of the connection is available in the Status panel on the right-hand side. A green check mark for Access Management integration indicates a connection has been configured.

• If you need to configure the connection, contact Imprivata Services. Imprivata Services will create an Imprivata Cloud Platform tenant for your enterprise, and send a Welcome email with a link to the Imprivata Access Management setup. Click the link in the email and follow the setup to configure the connection.

Complete the following steps to use the Imprivata Access Management setup to configure the connection. To complete the configuration, you need the following:

• Access to the Imprivata Appliance Console.

• Access to the Imprivata Admin Console.

• Optional — a PNG, JPG, or GIF of your organization logo (200 x 100 pixels or smaller, max 100KB).

Add the Required Hosts to Your Firewall Allowlist

Ensure that your firewall policy is configured to allow communication between the Imprivata appliances and the production Imprivata Cloud Platform.

Add the following hosts to your firewall allowlist:

• <tenantID>.sys.imprivata.com

• astra.sys.imprivata.com

• <tenantID>.access.imprivata.com

• access.imprivata.com

• metadata.app.imprivata.com

• file-access.app.imprivata.com

• idp.app.imprivata.com

Consider the following:

• For non-US regions, replace the .com with the appropriate domain suffix for your region, for example, *.sys.imprivata.eu.

• You can locate your Imprivata Cloud Platform tenant ID by clicking the link to the Imprivata Access Management setup in the welcome email. The tenant ID appears in the URL. For example:

3. Return to the Microsoft Entra ID Overview page.

4. Click Manage > Groups >All groups.

5. Locate the admin group and copy its object ID.

Return to the Imprivata Access Management setup to finish the configuration.

2. If you have not already, agree to the Cloud Features Agreement and enter information about your organization.

3. Go to the Identity Provider Connect screen.

4. Copy the Imprivata SP metadata URL and provide it to your IdP. When configuring the IdP's application:

   • Specify https://access.imprivata.com for the single sign-on URL.

   • Recommended: configure email address as the NameID format for user identity.

   • Recommended: configure Group ID (rather than group name) as the source attribute for group claims.

5. Enter the SAML IdP metadata URL, and click Continue.

6. Enter the SAML name/value pair that identifies users with administrative access, and click Continue.

7. Click Go to Access URL: access.imprivata.com to test the authentication workflow to access Imprivata Access Management.

   • 34.195.47.118/32

5. Click Add, and then Create.

If per-user multifactor authentication is enabled for users, adding the trusted Imprivata IP addressees to the list of MFA trusted IPs is required.

To add the IP addresses:

1. From the Microsoft Azure Portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID > Manage > Users, and click Per-user MFA.

2. Select the Service Settings tab.

3. Add the following IP addresses to Skip multifactor authentication for requests from following range of IP address subnets:

   • 44.196.189.191/32

   • 34.195.47.118/32

4. Click Save.

By default, Microsoft Entra Connect Sync pass-through authentication or Password Hash Sync (PHS) is supported.

If your Entra ID environment is federated with a third-party IdP, however, PHS is required.

To verify if PHS is enabled:

1. From the Microsoft Azure Portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID > Manage > Microsoft Entra Connect.

2. Click Connect Sync.

3. Under Microsoft Entra Connect sync, verify that Password Hash Sync is enabled.

4. If it is not enabled, configure Password Hash Synchronization from the server where the Microsoft Entra Connect Sync Agent is installed.

Configure Imprivata Enterprise Access Management as a directory. Doing so, provides full user sync capabilities.

Syncing your users requires one of the following:

• Entra ID Global Administrator rights

• Privileged Role Administrator rights

To sync Entra ID users:

1. Log into the Imprivata Access Management portal (access.imprivata.com).

2. Click the gear icon > Users > Entra ID users.

3. Click Add an Entra ID directory now.

4. Enter your Entra ID Tenant ID, and click Continue to Microsoft Authentication.

5. Using an Entra ID Global Administrator account, or another account with privileges to grant admin consent for application permissions, log in to Entra ID.

6. When prompted, review the required permissions, and click Accept.

7. Click Specify groups now. Enter one or more groups names, and click OK.

8. Click Update now to sync users.

If your Entra ID environment is federated with a third-party IdP, this step is required.

The Imprivata Cloud Platform must be able to validate user passwords when entered. In a federated environment, Imprivata needs to avoid these calls from being redirected to the federated identity provider (IdP). You must change the home realm discovery policy for authentication from the Imprivata Cloud to your Entra ID tenant only. This only applies to authentication calls made by the Imprivata Access Management Sync.

To create and apply the Home Realm Discovery policy:

1. Log in to Microsoft Graph Explorer.

   To make it more secure, log in as the Global Administrator.

2. Consent to the Microsoft Graph explorer application in your tenant.

   For more information, see the Microsoft Graph API documentation.

3. Create a home realm discovery policy by making the following HTTP request:

   POST - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/policies/homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies

   Request body

   In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the homeRealmDiscoveryPolicy object:

   Copy

   {
           "displayName": "yourPolicyName",
           "definition": [
           "{\"HomeRealmDiscoveryPolicy\": 
           {\"AllowCloudPasswordValidation\":true, } }"
           ],
           "isOrganizationDefault": false
   }

   Response

   If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a new homeRealmDiscoveryPolicy object in the response body.

   Example Response

   Copy

   {
           "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#policies/homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies",
           "value": [
           {
               "id": "239cbead-1111-654a-9f50-1467d691aaa",
               "deletedDateTime": null,
               "definition": [
               "{\"HomeRealmDiscoveryPolicy\" : { \"AllowCloudPasswordValidation\":true, } }"
               ],
               "displayName": "Exclude Federated Authentication ",
               "isOrganizationDefault": false
           }
       ]
   }

4. Assign the home realm discovery policy to the Imprivata Access Management Sync application by making the following HTTP request:

   POST - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/servicePrincipals/<the Imprivata Access Management Sync application object id>/homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies/$ref

   Request body

   In the request body, supply the identifier of the homeRealmDiscoveryPolicy object that should be assigned.

   Copy

   {
       "@odata.id":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/policies/homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies/<yourHomeRealmDiscovery_PolicyID>"
   }

   Response

   If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.

5. Verify that the home realm discovery policy was successfully applied to the service principal by making the following HTTP request:

   GET - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/policies/homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies/<homeRealmDiscoveryPolicy object id>/appliesTo

   Response

   Copy

   {
           "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#directoryObjects",
           "value": [
           {
           "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.servicePrincipal",
           "id": "c1f8e0d4-25b0-46b2-aaa8-827822631a33",
   
   ...

You must exclude the Imprivata Access Management Sync application from all conditional access policies that would require MFA for Imprivata users.

To update a conditional access policy:

1. From the Microsoft Azure Portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID, select Manage > Security > Protect > Conditional Access > Policies.

2. Click the policy that applies to your Imprivata users.

3. Under Target resources, click All resources (formerly All Cloud apps).

4. Click Exclude, and then toggle Select resources.

5. Under Select specific resources, click None or any of the listed applications.

6. Search for Imprivata Access Management Sync, select it, and click Select.

7. Save the policy.

8. Repeat for all conditional access policies that would require MFA for Imprivata users.
