Pepuri Server world Eng Version

In the previous post, a new Copilot was published on the site.

2024.10.05 - [Copilot Studio] - Copilot Studio. Deploying Copilot to an IIS Site.

This time, I have written about how to configure Entra ID and SSO in cases where the organization requires that only authenticated users have access.

The following technical documentation was used as a reference.

Configure user authentication with Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn

Configure single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn

Entra Admin Center -> Applications -> App registrations -> New registration

After entering the App name, click Register (At this stage, the Redirect URI is optional. The URL below was created based on my test page.).

Navigate to Authentication.

Add the following URL mentioned in the technical documentation.

https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect

https://europe.token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect

Check Access tokens and ID Tokens -> Click Save.

Certificates & secrets -> Client secrets -> New client secret

Input Description  -> Add

Save the Value in advance.

Go to Overview and save the Application ID information.

API permissions -> Add a permission -> Delegated permissions

Add the permissions offline_access, openid, and profile. -> Grant admin consent for Contoso

Go to Copilot Studio and navigate to the Settings menu of the Custom Copilot you want to modify the authentication for.

Security -> Authentication -> Authenticate manually

Select Require users to sign in -> Enter Client ID (App ID) and Client secret (Value) -> Click Save -> Click Publish.

A message indicating that a login is required will appear as shown below.

Access the Copilot web page in a separate browser -> Click Login -> Complete the Login process.

Copy the Validation Code provided after logging in.

Enter a message in the chat window to confirm that the authentication was successful.

Since login cannot be implemented directly in the chat, it seems that the authentication process is carried out using a separate validation code.

By configuring it this way, you can set up security so that only users with an account can access the Custom Copilot.

In the previous post, we created a Custom Copilot that answers questions by crawling specific sites.

In the last post, we deployed it to Teams. This time, it will publish it to an IIS site.

I am not a developer but an engineer. Please consider this as a guide to understand the overall process and flow.

Settings in the upper right corner.

Security -> Authentication

No authentication -> Save

Save

Publish

Publish

Click Channels -> Demo website to verify if the deployed Copilot is functioning correctly on the web.

Ask a question to verify that it is functioning correctly.

Custom website

You will receive the embed code as shown below.

I have set up a test web server on an IIS server using Visual Studio as shown below. Now, let’s add the Copilot to it.

If you would like to build a test environment from scratch, please refer to the articles below.

2024.09.16 - [Microsoft 365/Graph & IIS] - Microsoft Graph & IIS. (1) Setting up the basic testing environment.

2024.09.16 - [Microsoft 365/Graph & IIS] - Microsoft Graph & IIS. (2) Publishing an ASP.NET Sample Page to IIS

I used Visual Studio as the development environment and added the following code to the Index.cshtml file.

<div style="margin-top: 20px;">
    <iframe src="CopilotURL"
            frameborder="0"
            style="width: 500px; height: 500px;">
    </iframe>
</div>

You can also run Copilot on a custom website as shown below.

2024.10.03 - [Copilot Studio] - Copilot Studio. How to check specific SharePoint folders

It took longer to write this post because the Copilot Studio page was not displaying in English.

From this experience, I learned a few things:

1. There is a difference between using English or not in Copilot Studio.

- Two-byte characters like Korean, in particular, could have an impact. It is recommended to test using English first and then check for differences in behavior when using the actual language of use.

2. The default region of Power Platform is important.
- Some regions do not support Copilot Studio. If you try to access https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com from these regions, an error will occur. In this case, you need to create an environment in the Power Platform Admin Center.

Copilot Studio is constantly evolving and changing.

So what is true today might change tomorrow.

Let’s try creating a Copilot in Copilot Studio.

This Copilot is similar to what is commonly called a ChatBot. Some people even call it a "Custom Copilot."

The post was created with reference to the materials below.

Quickstart: Create and deploy a copilot - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn

https://youtu.be/wrPf5eZf9io

Copilot Studio can be accessed at https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com.

Create -> New copilot

The screen below does not appear in certain languages. I will discuss the impact of the input here in a future post. For now, click Skip to configure.

It is recommended to set the default language to English. I plan to create a Copilot that responds based on the content from the MS Learn site.

After entering the information as shown below, click Add knowledge.

Public websites

Add https://learn.microsoft.com.

Add

Create

Enter a question in the Copilot test chat window on the right to verify that the response is accurate.

You can see that the responses reference content from the MS Learn site.

Settings in the upper right corner.

You can select generative AI responses from the Generative AI menu. This menu is also only available in certain languages.

Publish

I will deploy it so that users can use it in Teams.

Channels at the top -> Microsoft Teams

When you click Open, it will run directly in Teams. If you click Availability options,

You can choose sharing or deployment options.

Click Open in the previous menu to run Copilot in Teams. Select Add or Open.

Ask the Copilot ChatBot questions just like you did during the test.

So, what’s the advantage of using it this way? You might have this question.

The benefit is that you can receive precise answers based on the content of a specific site. BizChat generates fairly good responses. However, since it provides answers based on the Bing engine and references various sources like Wiki and blogs, its accuracy can be lower.
