27.13 Configuring Integration with Office 365 without Using ADFS

This section provides the configuration information about integrating Advanced Authentication with Microsoft Office 365. This integration allows users to log in to Office 365 by using their corporate password. During authentication, the specified password is validated by using the federated on-premises Active Directory.

NOTE:The SAML 2.0 supports web-based clients and email-rich clients. With this integration, only limited clients are available for single sign-on.

For example, the Microsoft Teams desktop client does not support SAML; therefore, the client cannot automatically sign in after this integration.

To configure the Advanced Authentication integration with Office 365 using SAML 2.0 perform the following tasks:

Section 27.13.1, Configuring the Advanced Authentication SAML 2.0 Event
Section 27.13.2, Configuring the Identity Provider URL
Section 27.13.3, Obtaining the Signing Certificate of Advanced Authentication
Section 27.13.4, Enabling Single Sign-On to Office 365
Section 27.13.5, Verifying Single Sign-On to Office 365

Before integration ensure to download the Office 365 SAML Metadata from Microsoft Online Service.
