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.

3. On the Entra ID users tab, click Add an Entra ID directory now.

   The Add Entra ID as a directory window opens.

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

5. Click specify groups now. Enter groups names to find and add them.

6. Click Update now to sync users.

If you are using federated authentication, 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",
