How to Setup SSO using Microsoft Live ID

Microsoft Live ID offers Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for web and mobile applications. By configuring Microsoft SSO, your users can sign in to VIDIZMO using their Microsoft account credentials.

Prerequisites​

  • Ensure you belong to a group where the SSO permission is enabled.
  • You must have a Microsoft account to register an application in the Azure Portal.

Microsoft Azure Portal Configuration​

  1. Go to the Azure Portal and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  2. Register a new application. For detailed steps, see Register an app using Azure Portal.
  3. When choosing supported account types, select Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com). See Supported Account Types for more details.
  4. Set the Redirect URI to your VIDIZMO portal URL with the callback path /sso/signin-microsoft appended (for example, https://yourportal.vidizmo.com/sso/signin-microsoft).
  5. Under Implicit grant, check ID Tokens as the web application requires the implicit grant flow to sign in the user.
  6. Obtain the Application (Client) ID and generate a Client Secret from the app registration. These will be used in the VIDIZMO configuration.

NOTE: If you have multiple portals, separate applications need to be registered for each portal. Microsoft Live ID only works in HTTPS mode. See How to Configure your Portal to use HTTPS only.

Configuration in VIDIZMO​

  1. In VIDIZMO, select the menu icon in the top-left corner to open the navigation pane.
  2. Expand the Admin section and select Portal Settings.
  3. Go to Apps > Single Sign-On.
  4. Select the settings icon on the Microsoft SSO app.
  5. In the settings dialog, enter the following:
    • Client ID The Application (Client) ID from your Azure app registration.
    • Client Secret The Client Secret generated for your Azure app.
    • SSO Login Message A custom message displayed on the sign-in page for this SSO option.
    • SSO Login Button Label A custom label for the Microsoft sign-in button on the sign-in page.
    • Callback Path Pre-configured to /sso/signin-microsoft. This must match the Redirect URI in your Azure app configuration.
    • Force Login Select this option to redirect users directly to the Microsoft sign-in page. When unchecked, users sign in through your Portal's sign-in screen.
    • Attribute Mapping Map your Microsoft attributes (FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, ExternalSystemId) to your VIDIZMO Portal. You can also add new attribute mappings if needed. For more on user registration fields, see How to Add Custom Fields to Join Portal Form.
    • CAL Select a Client Access License to assign to users who sign in through Microsoft SSO. When a user enters the Portal via Microsoft SSO, this CAL is assigned to them, granting the permissions associated with that CAL.
  6. Select Save to apply your changes.
  7. Turn on the toggle for the Microsoft SSO app to enable SSO.

Result​

Navigate to your Portal's sign-in screen. You will see an option to Sign in with Microsoft SSO.
