How to Configure Company SSO for Viva Engage with CyberArk
Question details
The user needs to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) for Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) using CyberArk as the enterprise identity provider.
- Product
- Viva Engage, CyberArk
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Setting up enterprise identity management and SSO integration between Microsoft Viva Engage and CyberArk.
- Observed behavior
- The user is looking for specific documentation or starting points to enforce Microsoft 365 identity in Viva Engage via a CyberArk integration.
Ensure you have global administrator privileges for your Microsoft 365 tenant and administrative access to your CyberArk Identity portal.
Enforce Microsoft 365 Identity for Viva Engage
Because Viva Engage relies on Microsoft 365 for authentication, you must enforce Office 365 identity across your network to allow external SSO providers like CyberArk to handle sign-ins.
Viva Engage does not directly integrate with third-party IdPs for SSO. Instead, it delegates authentication to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). By connecting CyberArk to Microsoft 365 and enforcing M365 identity in Viva Engage, SSO is achieved seamlessly.
Navigate to the official Microsoft documentation (Microsoft Learn) regarding enforcing Office 365 identity in Viva Engage to understand the network prerequisites.
In your CyberArk Identity portal, ensure that the Microsoft 365 application is properly configured to act as the primary Identity Provider for your Microsoft tenant.
Log in to the Viva Engage admin center, navigate to 'Security Settings', and select the option to enforce Office 365 identity for all users.
Seek CyberArk-Specific Guidance via Community Hub
If standard Microsoft 365 identity routing does not address specific CyberArk configuration nuances, consult specialists in the official community forums.
Try WPS Office for a Lightweight Enterprise Alternative
While managing complex enterprise SSO integrations like CyberArk and Microsoft 365, you may also be looking for a cost-effective, seamless productivity suite. WPS Office is a free, highly compatible alternative to Microsoft Office that meets enterprise document needs without the heavy administrative overhead.
- 1. Download and Deploy: Download the lightweight WPS Office installer and deploy it across your organization.
- 2. Open Existing Documents: Double-click any existing Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files to open them in WPS Office with formatting fully preserved.
- 3. Edit and Save: Edit your enterprise documents efficiently and save them in standard Office formats for seamless external sharing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Viva Engage support direct SSO integration with CyberArk?
No, Viva Engage delegates authentication to Microsoft 365. To use CyberArk for Viva Engage SSO, you must configure CyberArk as the Identity Provider (IdP) for your Microsoft 365 tenant and enforce M365 identity within Viva Engage.
What happens to legacy Yammer logins after enforcing Microsoft 365 identity?
Once Microsoft 365 identity is enforced, legacy Yammer credentials will no longer function. All users will be required to log in via their Microsoft 365 accounts, which will route them through your CyberArk SSO portal.
Where can I find advanced support if the CyberArk integration fails?
If Microsoft Learn documentation does not resolve your specific IdP issue, it is highly recommended to post your detailed integration scenario in the official Microsoft Viva Engage Community Hub, where product specialists and community experts can assist.
