Steps to configure Single Sign-On for HubSpot Login with Azure AD as Identity Provider

Step 1: Setup Azure AD as OAuth Provider

• Sign in to Azure portal.
• Select Azure Active Directory.

• In the left-hand navigation panel, click the App registrations service, and click New registration.

• Configure the following options to create a new application.

• In the Redirect URI section, select the Web application and enter the Callback URL from the miniOrange HubSpot OAuth app and save it under the Redirect URL textbox.
• Click on the Register button to create your application.

• Azure AD assigns a unique Application ID to your application. The Application ID is your Client ID and the Directory ID is your Tenant ID, keep these values handy as you will need them to configure the miniOrange Single Sign-On (SSO) app.

• Go to Certificates and Secrets from the left navigaton panel and click on New Client Secret. Enter description and expiration time and click on ADD option.

• Copy the secret key "value" and keep the value handy it will be required later to configure Client Secret under the miniOrange Single Sign-On (SSO) app.

Step 2: Setup HubSpot as OAuth Client

• Go to the miniOrange Single Sign-On (SSO) app and login with your credentials.
• Choose your account by clicking on Choose Account button.

• After that Click on the right icon for accessing the application.

• Go to the miniOrange’s Single Sign On app dashboard and click on App Configurations tab.

• Here, select your application and click on it. If your app is not present here you can create a custom OAUTH 2.0 or OIDC (Open ID Connect protocol) app as per your provider's implementation.

• Enter the Login Button Text and copy the Callback URL to set up the Identity Provider ( Third Party App) you would like to authenticate with.

• Now, to set up Single Sign-On ( OAuth SSO ), you will need to enter the Client ID, Client secret,and Scope, and enable Send in Header and Endpoints from Azure AD (Refer the below table).

• When you have filled out all the details, click the Save & Test Configuration button.

• After successful login, you will see all the values returned by your Azure AD to HubSpot in a table.

Step 3: Configure Page Restriction into the HubSpot ( Website, Landing Pages, Blogs, Knowledge Base )

Our Page Restriction feature allows you to protect your HubSpot website from unauthorized access. It is useful for securing sensitive information. Using this method, you can restrict access to HubSpot pages/content. Visitors will need to sign in before accessing HubSpot pages.

• Once you go to the page URL that you restricted, you will see the login window of your identity provider where you'll enter your credentials.

• After logged in, you will be redirected successfully to the website page.

Step 4: Configure Contact Sync in HubSpot

Contact synchronization is a powerful feature that enables seamless integration and synchronization of contact information between HubSpot and external platforms or applications. With Contact Sync, you can ensure that your customer data is up to date, accurate, and consistent across multiple systems, saving you time and eliminating manual data entry.

• Click on the Edit icon below the Contact Attribute Mapping option.

Additionally, if multiple attributes are required, you can add them using the Custom Attribute Mapping option.

• After adding all the attributes, make sure you have enabled the Contact sync option. Click on the Save button.

• You can now find the contact in HubSpot Contacts. This is a great way to generate leads, as it allows you to quickly and easily add new contacts to your HubSpot sales and marketing pipelines. Contact sync allows you to ensure that your HubSpot account is always updated with the latest information about your leads and customers (site visitors), which can help you generate more qualified leads.

Troubleshooting / FAQs

I get the following: {"status":"failed","message":"Error in fetching the token from the OAuth provider."}

• Make sure you have checked one or both of the following checkboxes in the “HubSpot App configuration” setting.

• If your IdP needs the credentials in the header, you will need to check the Header checkbox.
• Save the configuration and then click test configuration.
• If this does not solve your problem, you can try selecting both the Header and Body checkboxes.
• Likewise, if your IdP needs the credentials in the body, you have to select the Body checkbox.
• Once you have checked the appropriate checkboxes, you will get the attributes table in the test configuration window.

My test configuration was successful but when I try to log in I am stuck in a redirect loop.

There are a couple of reasons why this can happen:

1. Caching is enabled on the website.

When auto-redirect is enabled, the user is redirected to IDP login page and after logging in back to the main site but as caching is enables it redirects to the IDP login page hence a loop.

2. HTTP/HTTPS discrepancy:

This happens when HTTPS is not enforced on the site but is configured on IDP side with HTTPS URL.This can be solved by enforcing HTTPS on the site by defining a redirect rule in the .htaccess file or at the Apache level.

3. Cookie adulteration:

The cookie created by the plugin after logging in the user is altered by another plugin which causes the user to not log in WordPress site but the session is created on IDP.

Getting Error : ‘Invalid Response’

There can be 2 possibilities:

1. Either your App supports OAuth 2.0 protocol and you’ve configured with OpenID Connect protocol and vice-versa. In this case, if you’ve configured the App using Custom OAuth2.0 App, reconfigure it with Custom OpenID Connect App and if you’ve configured the App using Custom OpenID Connect App, reconfigure it with Custom OAuth 2.0 App. It should fix this issue for you.
2. If the above solution doesn’t work then the other possibility is your app/provider doesn’t follow the standard OAuth 2.0/ OpenID Connect protocol. In this case, get in touch with hubapps@xecurify.com with your app/provider request/response format documentation and technician will get back to you with a solution.

I am getting the error message "Invalid response received"

To fix this issue, please configure the correct Token and User info endpoint in the HubSpot SSO application endpoint table. You can confirm the correct format of the endponit from HERE.
