Hi 🙂 We are in the process of writing a rfp for a client. They want to have backoffice login integration with Azure AD. In the Umbraco documentation is highly not recommended. Does anyone know why? And is it possible even though its not recommended

Where in the docs does it say that? We have a bunch of projects doing that, using this package https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/umbraco.community.azuresso You have to do some changes in umbraco-cloud.json though, in Identity, you need to add "AutoRedirectLogin": false, else you won't get the login page.

Hi @skttl Thanks for your reply. I read it in this documentation https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/tutorials/add-azure-active-directory-authentication https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1184840614127341568/1185129692571902015/image.png?ex=658e7d09&is=657c0809&hm=1d64df6a39a356440fe97a8425111793b3463810ae04b5f88f2b65b5c0ced238&

That docs article is for members?

Thats right, i didnt see that 🙈 But we would actually need to implement for both members and users

No experience with that sorry. But the one time I had conflicts with using Azure AD and Umbraco Id, it was because of the scheme name in the setup. IIRC Umbraco Id uses AzureAD as the scheme name, so I had to call it something else. But I only had those problems, when setting it up manually (and for backoffice login, not members). Never had the problem with the package mentioned.

@skttl I wonder why the article mention this then: > Due to this, we highly recommend not using Azure AD for backoffice authentication on your Umbraco Cloud projects. "backoffice authentication" is users 😅 So it can be used for members, but not users? On some older projects (not Umbraco Cloud) we have used Azure AD (also known as AAD) for backoffice users.

We have 2 current projects running Umbraco 12 with the Azure AD SSO package for backoffice login 🙂 No problems whatsoever, as long as you disable AutoRedirectLogin in the cloud settings.

Good to know! ... maybe we need that at some point. 😅
