SSO authentication

It is possible to connect ALIX to Microsoft Entra ID to be able to delegate authentication in SSO (Single Sign-on) mode.

When setup is complete in both systems (see below), your users will be redirected to the Microsoft Entra ID login page when they enter their username into the ALIX login page. If they are already logged in to Microsoft, they will log directly into the system without needing to log in again. If you remove access to a user from Microsoft Entra ID, it will also loose access to ALIX.

Here are the requirements for your users to be able to authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID:

  1. Configuration is complete and active in both systems.
  2. User’s email address is validated through ALIX.
