Microsoft Entra ID Configuration

Microsoft Entra ID Configuration

Feature Summary

It is possible to connect ALIX to Microsoft Entra ID to be able to delegate authentication in SSO (Single Sign-on) mode.
When setup is complete in both systems (see below), your users will be redirected to the Microsoft Entra ID login page when they enter their username into the ALIX login page. If they are already logged in to Microsoft, they will log directly into the system without needing to log in again. If you remove access to a user from Microsoft Entra ID, it will also loose access to ALIX.

Here are the requirements for your users to be able to authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID:
  1. Configuration is complete and active in both systems
  2. User's email address is validated through ALIX (user menu -> Profile)

Microsoft Entra ID Configuration

  1. Go to the “Enterprise applications” menu


  2. Click the “New application” button then “Create your own application”




  3. Name the application ALIX and choose the “Non-gallery” option

    Once created, you can adjust the properties as you wish and assign the desired users.

  4. Configure SSO as follows:

    Enter "https://smart.alix.ai"


  5. Go to “App registrations” menu and select the ALIX application.


  6. Note the following values for the ALIX configuration


  7. Configure web authentication

    Enter "https://accounts.alix.ai/api/custom-idp/callback" and choose ID Tokens


  8. Create a client secret then copy the value for ALIX configuration




  9. Add email and sid "claims" to the token

ALIX Configuration

  1. Go to Settings -> Security -> Custom identity providers
  2. Add the provider by filling out the form with the values noted during Microsoft Entra ID setup. You can choose to enable it at creation or later.
The configuration should now be complete. Please contact support@alix.ai if you need assistance with the login procedure.
