Hello CRMers,
Have a requirement to authenticate portal users through Azure AD, but Azure AD only signs up users with existing Windows account.
My question is there a way to register users without a Windows credentials to first register before authenticating them?
This is for CRM Portal 8.1

I think you want to setup a request an account type process. Intake desired usernames and email addresses. Have whatever process on the back-end to create an Azure AD account. Create a CRM contact, create a portal invite and in the notification with the invite link to the user include the new Azure AD account they should redeem it with.
Thanks you Colin,
Sorry (i'm not an Identity/authentication guy )how would i achieve a signup in this instance?
So use an API to register users is this only done using graph? or can i use another method? like direct users to create a live account for example.. then vet the authentication/registration before giving users access to the portal?
This way instead of allowing anyone to create a domain account it will be vetted(the process of how will be a business or technical decision but want to get this details clearer first)
Azure AD doesn't allow for self service user creation. It could be done using the Graph API though, you would have to likely intake a request and use a plugin to do the Graph API call potentially even another API to broker that. With Azure AD it is not really intended to be used with self service creation as you are allowing anyone to create domain accounts.
You might want to look at Azure AD B2C as it is focused on the "external" scenario, allows for self service creation as what they call local accounts using any verified email address. It uses Azure AD behind the scenes, and supports social identities as well. Azure B2C though I have yet to try with 8.1 and it might not work as the B2C service uses a different claim for the unique identifier the portal might be expecting. With v7 you would be able to customize to get this to work.
