One of the most-anticipated features was single sign-on (SSO) with Azure Active Directory, to let you utilize your Azure AD credentials to sign on to PRTG.

To get it up and running on your on-premises installation of PRTG requires a few steps, both in Azure and in PRTG, watch this helpful tutorial video to show you how to do it.

How to set up SSO with Azure AD

If you use Azure AD, you can specify that specific user groups can sign on to PRTG using their Azure AD credentials. Setting this up requires three steps:

1. Configure Azure AD: You first need to register your app (in this case, PRTG) and perform some other tasks in Azure AD itself. Information from this step – such as the application client ID, the tenant ID, and client secret among other things – will be needed in PRTG.
2. Configure SSO in PRTG: In this step, you’ll enable SSO and enter the details of your Azure AD configuration.
3. Assign SSO to a PRTG user group: Finally, you’ll either create a new user group or specify an existing user group that will use Azure SSO to sign onto PRTG.

If you’re an Azure user, Paessler also has sensors dedicated to monitoring other aspects of Azure, like your Azure SQL database, storage account and subscription costs.
