This is the process we are Currently following to Use Single sign-on Authentication using Azure Ad Claims Based authentication from Kentico settingsThe certificate which we are using is secured And...

Kentico supports many kinds of authentication methods – from Forms authentication, Windows AD authentication to Claims-based authentication. In this article we will focus on Claims-based authentication and how to integrate Azure Active Directory as your identity provider.

When it comes to security and authentication, there’s no shortage of customization that developers will need to implement. On-premise and cloud-hosted AD servers, everyone’s favorite social media platform, or some Access database on that one guy’s machine; you name it! Companies have very specific verification processes for their users’ identities and it’s up to you to make it all work. While Claims-Based Authentication is nothing new, you may not know how to best handle it within your Kentico sites. In this article, I’ll show you how to get your external users logged in quickly and working within your application.

In the previous series, we configured both Windows Server 2012 R2, our virtual machine, and Kentico and successfully logged in. We will discuss some of the most common issues when it comes to claims-based authentication.

In the first part of the series we prepared a virtualized environment and started to configure some  services that are necessary for AD FS service. In the second part, we will finish the configuration of the virtual machine and we will configure Kentico to use claims-based authentication. So let’s get started.

Hi, my name is Roman Konicek and I would like to welcome you to my knowledge base article series on claims-based authentication. Let me give you a bit of an overview of some of the things we are going to cover in this series. I want to start by briefly talking about how to prepare a virtual environment. The second thing I would like to focus on is how to configure your environment to use claims-based authentication—in this specific case we are going to use Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). Next, I want to discuss how to configure your Kentico application to use the claims-based authentication. In the last part, we are going to look at the most common issues when you are using claims-based authentication in Kentico.  So let’s go and have a look at all of that.

I am trying to follow the documentation for setup of claims-based authentication (via Active Directory Federation Services). Step 2 says to @Configure the service so that it accepts your Kentico ap...
