Hi,

Is there anyone who has configures Azure AD login with Kentico? We are using the MVC development approach with the CMS hosted as a separate web app. We want to allow users to login using there Office 365 accounts. Appreciate any suggestions.

We do have our Kentico web app working with Azure AD. You do need to create a custom module for that. You have to attach to a couple global events SecurityEvents.AuthenticationRequested.Execute (where you need to do redirect) and RequestEvents.Begin.Execute(where you need to AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCode and AuthenticationHelper.AuthenticateUser). Google how it is done with asp.net and try to plug code examples into your custom Kentico module. You have to understand the mechanics of this process. It is not supported out of the box, but it is certainly possible.

Have you checked the documentation: docs.kentico.com/.../configuring-windows-ad-authentication

any issues after following that guide?

Hi,

thanks for your answer, but Windows AD cannot be used as Azure AD. Note that the CMS is hosted in the cloud as a Webapp.

My bad, don't believe Azure AD is supported...

haven't heard anything about it for a while. Suggest to drop a mail at support@kentico.com, and a share of the response here would be appreciated!

@Peter could you possibly post some code and an explanation of your module ?
