5.4 Integrate Advanced Authentication and Office 365 without Using AD FS

Let us assume Reltic Data, Inc. wants to implement multi-factor authentication for their Office 365 without using Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). Their employees must use the corporate email address and succeed the multi-factor authentication to access Microsoft Office 365 suite.

This section explains the prerequisites, flow of actions, and step-by-step configuration details to achieve this. This example refers to the following user profiles:

  • Susan: An administrator of Reltic Data, Inc.

  • Sam: An employee of Reltic Data, Inc.

Susan, the administrator, needs to enforce multi-factor authentication with the Card and Email OTP methods for Office 365. After multi-factor authentication is implemented, Sam the employee, needs to authenticate both methods to access Office 365.
