Create Azure AD Application

Updated over 10 months ago

Microsoft updates their interfaces occasionally and we do our best to keep the screenshots here up-to-date. Microsoft also personalizes your experience based on your account access and settings. Please understand that the screens here may not perfectly match what you see in Microsoft. You may find that these instructions more closely match your experience if you are using a legacy version of Azure.

Before you begin

  • Your organization must have Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). If your organization does not already have Azure AD then Create an Active Directory on Windows Azure.

  • Contact Edlio Support to request the "Reply URL" needed for step 14.

Microsoft Office 365 uses Azure AD for it's SSO for organizations, and uses Windows Live for the SSO for individuals. These instructions are for Azure AD as that's what your organization will need to use.
