Dynamics 365 Portals Configuring the portal for single-sign on.
I have seen some cases recently with requests to force users to sign-in before accessing any content on their Dynamics 365 Portal.
Setting the LoginButtonAuthenticationType is needed, but the users will not be authenticated without selecting sign in without step 4 below. Steps 1 and 3 will need to be changed based on your auth provider. Also remember this only redirects the users to the auth provider you specify in step 2, users may still need to enter credentials based on how the provider is configured.
Steps to configure SSO using Azure AD as the auth provider
1. In the portal when signing in select the Azure AD button and copy the URL it redirects to as we will need the first GUID in this URL in step 3 ex. https://login.microsoftonline.com/a34b6aec-7b52-6fd5-q28b-889d48def358/oauth2/authorize?client_id...
2. In your Dynamics 365 organization open the Authentication/Registration/LoginButtonAuthenticationType record in the portal - site settings area. If this has not created it will need to be done now.
3. The value here will be https://login.windows.net/a34b6aec-7b52-6fd5-q28b-889d48def358/ where the GUID is the same as the one from the login button above.
4. Now in your organization open the Web Page Access Control Rules and create a new one.
Settings:
Name: Can be anything you choose
Website: Use the lookup to find your site
Web Page: Use the lookup to find Home
Right: Restrict Read
Under the Web Roles section:
Add Authenticated users
5. After the settings above are saved the authentication should work as expected after the cache is invalidated.

I'm a seasoned Dynamics dev however I'm just getting started on my first portal project. I've setup an external IdP with SSO Circle and have all metadata for the IdP however, I can't figure out for the life of me on how to enable SAML 2 to authenticate with this external IdP.
