BC On prem V20 AAD authentication for users

Posted on by EssexRocks 49

I have been trying to get this to work with on prem BC v20 and found a number of docs online but none that seem to be up to date. The MS Learn stuff just never goes into sufficient detail and has so many links I lost track of the task lol.

It would be great if someone had the powershell scripts to set this up or some step by step docs to help.

I have the same question (0)

    Have you looked at this documentation? Is that still too little detailed ?

    Hi, I've tested older versions and this works.

    But as far as I know, before BC21, you can still use WS-Federation.

    WS-Federation with Azure Active Directory authentication

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    We have this working for BC20 on-prem right now. All credit to Sara Keck at ArcherPoint. I think she can do this setup in her sleep.

    We do a lot of stuff internal, but if your partner has an expert like Sara at this, I'd say it's worth the money to have them set it up.
