You can enable users to sign up and sign in using their Microsoft credentials. To enable this, you’ll need a Microsoft Azure account and some developer know-how.
- Sign in to Kinde.
- Go to the Settings page and select Authentication.
- In the Social connections section, select Add connection.
- In the window that opens, select Microsoft, then select Save.
- On the Microsoft tile, select the Configure link.
- Copy the URL in the Callback URL section. You’ll need this to configure your Microsoft application.
- Go to your account at https://portal.azure.com/.
- Navigate to Azure Active Directory. You can do this from links on the main screen or in the left side menu.
- Select Add+ > App registration.
- Enter a name for the app.
- Select a Supported account types option. In testing, we selected Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts.
- In the Redirect URI (optional) section, select your app type in the Select a platform dropdown.
- Enter the Callback URL from Kinde. The one you copied in the procedure above.
- Select Register. Details of your new app appear.
- Copy the Application (client) ID and paste it in a text file or somewhere you can easily access it again.
- Select Certificates and secrets from the left menu, select + New client secret.
- Enter a name and give it an expiry date (or accept the default), then select Add. Details of the secret are generated.
- Copy the value in the Value column and paste it in a text file or somewhere you can easily access it again. Make sure you copy from the Value column, not the Secret ID column.
- In Kinde, go to Settings > Authentication.
- In the Social connections section, select Add connection.
- In the window that appears, select Microsoft, then select Save. Microsoft now appears in the Social connections list.
- On the Microsoft tile, select Configure.
- Paste the Client ID (Application (client) ID) and Client secret value (that you copied from the Value column at step 12 above) into the relevant fields.
- Select which applications will allow Microsoft SSO.
- Select Save.
Users will now see Microsoft as an option to sign up and sign in to the selected applications.
