Unable to successfully validate Entra ID (Azure AD) settings

AndreMatsuoka · ‎05-02-2025

Good afternoon everyone, I'm new here and I have a problem with the configuration that I can't solve.
I looked for some articles here but I didn't find the solution.

I get this error when I try to save the configuration with Azure Enter

"Unable to successfully validate Entra ID (Azure AD) settings"

I have already redone the application registration steps several times but it doesn't work.
I also redid the SQL server, and it doesn't work.

Hi AndreMatsuoka,

Greetings!

We see that you are getting an error about the validation of the Entra ID, while saving the settings:

Please refer to the link below, and refer to the page 45 on Appendix A:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/841816/intel-endpoint-management-assistant-intel-ema-deployment-guide-for-microsoft-azure.html#page=30

We may have to configure Entra first then install EMA with Entra ID as it is not possible to jump from On-premises to Windows AD or Entra AD.

And also you may refer to the page 21 on the link given below for the Microsoft Entra ID Authentication:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/841816/intel-endpoint-management-assistant-intel-ema-deployment-guide-for-microsoft-azure.html

Please follow the steps given below as well on how to integrate Azure AD with Intel EMA

Integrating Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) with Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) allows you to leverage Azure AD's identity and access management capabilities for user authentication and authorization within the EMA environment. This integration can streamline user management and enhance security. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to integrate Azure AD with Intel EMA:

Prerequisites:

Azure AD Subscription: Ensure you have an active Azure AD subscription and administrative access to manage Azure AD settings.

Intel EMA Installation: Ensure Intel EMA is installed and configured in your environment.

Administrative Access: You need administrative access to both Azure AD and Intel EMA to perform the integration.

Steps to Integrate Azure AD with Intel EMA:

1. Configure Azure AD:

Register EMA as an Application:

Log in to the Azure portal.

Navigate to "Azure Active Directory" > "App registrations."

Click "New registration" to register Intel EMA as an application.

Provide a name for the application and set the redirect URI to the EMA server URL.

Configure API Permissions:

After registering the application, go to "API permissions."

Add permissions required for EMA, such as "User.Read" and "Directory.Read.All."

Generate Client Secret:

Go to "Certificates & secrets" and create a new client secret.

Note the client secret value, as it will be needed for EMA configuration.

2. Configure Intel EMA:

Access EMA Console:

Log in to the Intel EMA console with administrative credentials.

Set Up Azure AD Integration:

Navigate to the settings or configuration section related to authentication.

Select Azure AD as the authentication provider.

Enter the application ID, client secret, and tenant ID obtained from Azure AD.

Test Integration:

Test the integration by logging into EMA using Azure AD credentials.

Ensure that users can authenticate and access EMA based on their Azure AD roles and permissions.

3. Manage Users and Roles:

Assign Roles in Azure AD:

Use Azure AD to manage user roles and permissions. Assign users to groups that correspond to EMA roles.

Configure EMA Access:

In the EMA console, map Azure AD groups to EMA roles to control access and permissions.

Additional Considerations:

Security: Ensure that the integration is secure by using HTTPS for all communications and regularly updating credentials and secrets.

Documentation: Refer to Intel EMA and Azure AD documentation for detailed instructions and best practices.

Monitoring: Monitor authentication logs and user activity to ensure the integration is functioning correctly and securely.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate Azure AD with Intel EMA, enhancing user management and security within your EMA environment.

Thanks & Regards
