How do you enable Microsoft Single Sign-On for IntelliFront BI

Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) enables users to log into IntelliFront using their Microsoft business accounts. In order to use Microsoft Single Sign-On SSO, IntelliFront must be registered as an application in Azure with the User.Read permission.

 
Follow the steps below to enable Microsoft Single Sign-On SSO:

Register IFBI in Azure

  1. As an Azure admin, log into your Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com

  2. Select App Registrations from the main menu

  3. Click on the New registration link

  4. Enter a friendly name for the App registration

  5. For the Redirect Uri, select Web as the platform and enter https://{your ifbi instance}/msgraphsso as the Uri address (please note that all redirect Uris must use SSL (https))

  6. Click Register to create the app registration

  7. From the App Registration screen, make note of the Application (Client) ID and the Directory (Tenant) ID; you will need these for the second part of this process

  8. Click on API Permissions, then Add a permission and then select User.Read from the Microsoft Graph API

  9. Click on Certificates & secrets and generate a new Client secret with a duration of 24 months or more. Once generated, take note of the Client secret’s value (not Secret ID)

  10. Save the App Registration
