I am very new to SSO and am having trouble enabling cross company SSO. I work on a React SPA and used the MSAL React Library to implement SSO for our application. I created a non-gallery Enterprise Application in Azure, and used that subscription information to validate users on the application during login. This is all working as expected.
After providing our SAML SSO configuration to companyB, the user at companyB cannot sign on and is getting the following error...
"Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'XYZ' and cannot access the application '123-456-789' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account."
To me, that means I need to manually add the user who is attempting to log in, but that would negate the usefulness of integrating the two Azure ADs. I've provided all of my SAML configuration to companyB, and still no luck. What could I be missing?
In order to create the link between the two Azure ADs, the user just needs to create a non gallery application with SAML SSO enabled and the SAML config, right? Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated!
I realized my code was configured to only work for one tenant, pointing to the common login endpoint solved this issue.

I have an already deployed application on azure app service which uses azure AD for authentication and authorization.
Unfortunately the developer who worked on it is no longer available
i got access to all Azure resources and source code but i cant figure out how can i add my azure account as one of the users to the app (i can login but its an empty view for me unlike what it used to be with the developer access).
Also i find the app registered on Azure AD and i am an owner there but still with no right access.
When i try to login localy from the frontend it say
Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Default Directory' and
cannot access the application '[some numbers] in that tenant. The
account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a
different account.
Would appreciate any help and many thanks in advance.

This is because your backend application is enabled with Azure AD Authentication.
After you sign in to your front-end application, you still can't access the data from the back-end app, because the back-end app now requires Azure Active Directory sign-in from the front-end app
To access the application, follow the below steps:
Grant the front-end access to the back end
Configure App Service to return a usable token
Use the token in your code
You can refer Enable authentication and authorization for front-end app in Authenticate users E2E - Azure App Service | Microsoft Docs for the detailed steps
I've created a multi tenancy application so I could use the SSO options it gives me.
When trying to sign in with a user outside the domain of the app I get the following error:
AADSTS700016: Application with identifier <MY_APP_NAME> was not found in the directory <I_GUESS_THE_USERS_DIRECTORY_ID?>. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant or consented to by any user in the tenant. You may have sent your authentication request to the wrong tenant.
According to this question it's suppose to work without me having to do anything.
But, is it? what me or the organization should do in order to complete the process?
You need to also provision a service principal of your multi-tenant app in the target tenant. A detailed guide is available here.
There are four simple steps to convert your application into an Azure Ad Multi-tenant app:
1.Update your application registration to be multi-tenant
2.Update your code to send requests to the /common endpoint
3.Update your code to handle multiple issuer values
4.Understand user and admin consent and make appropriate code changes
Reference:
How to: Sign in any Azure Active Directory user using the multi-tenant application pattern
Build a multi-tenant daemon with the Microsoft identity platform endpoint
So in the scenario like above is it not required to "Register the Application all of the Active Directories" from where the Users from different tenant may login to the Application ?
If not required to register what is the work around?
Newbie alert
I have successfully configured ADAL authentication using python code.
I have used the following code:
https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-python/blob/dev/sample/website_sample.py
So I am now able to log in to the app configured in my azure account and retrieve the access token, refresh token Etc.
Next
I have an application that has user role based permitted actions.
Upon successful login in Azure, the App must check the user role and open the pages based on the user's role.
I used React JS and Python to build my app.
Now i am clueless as to how to integrate my user roles with the app.
Can anyone of you suggest any reading materials or solutions to this?
Thank you.
I have read about ADAL authentication but did not find process to post authentication.
https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-python/blob/dev/sample/website_sample.py
I want any architecture plan or sample code in python/ JS where the token from ADAL authentication is retrieved and used to login to the application..
You can implement RBAC using Azure AD's Application Roles & Role Claims feature or using Azure AD Groups and Group Claims. You can add roles using the manifest in Azure AD and also in the app itself.
This is by far the best sample and guide for adding RBAC and using ADAL. I was able to get a working sample going quickly from this.

I am facing a hopefully simple problem:
I need to create a wrapper app that contains a WebViewer control and should display a page in Azure portal.
I am developing the app in VS 2017 on a virtual machine which belongs to the domain 'DEV'. I would like to achieve that if a user from 'PROD' domain starts the app on their computer in the 'PROD' domain, they will be authenticated to AAD/Office 365 via SSO and can view the page in Azure (not a site in azurewebsites.net, but a site that needs you to be authenticated - i.e. portal.azure.com!).
I was not yet able to test the app on 'PROD' domain, but according to the answer below it would work, wouldn't it?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9593258
If not can I go through the steps in the white paper mentioned and SSO the user manually (chapter 5.3, I assume)?
EDIT
Took me while, but here it is - I got SSO working, sort of...
In the end it seems that using a WebViewer control allows SSO but it still requires you to at least once enter your user name (user#tenant.com, for example) but you don't need a password. This might not be an optimal solution, nevertheless it is OK.
Thank you Wayne Yang for your support.
For your sceanrio, the user can SSO in PROD domain if the device has AAD joined.
But this should SSO to the joined AAD tenant. I also assume that you want to SSO to Azure portal with the ADFS. So, it also needs integrate ADFS with the AAD.
Why?
First, if your application try to sign in Azure portal via pop-up a broswer, and it needs SSO. AAD join can achieve this. If a device joined AAD, it will obtain a refresh token to your device. For windows 10 , IE and Edge can use the refresh token to SSO AAD endpoint.
Second, If you want to use ADFS, you must integrate ADFS with Azure AD. In this way, AAD authentication endpoint will redirect to your ADFS to approach SSO with your local domain.

Hope this helps!
iam currently researching how to implement Single Sign On for our WebService.
This is what i came up with so far.
If a customer of our WebService has an AzureActiveDirectory they can log on with their active directory user account to our WebService if we provide the nessecary interfaces for SAML, Oauth2, OpenID or whatever authorization protocoll we chose and azure supports.
The customers could also have their local network Active Directory synced to their Azure AD and use their Domain accounts to log on to our WebApplication.
Customers need to use the myapps.microsoft.com portal to "wrap" authentication.
Once everything is set up correctly the Identity Provider (AzureAD) would provide use with (e.g) an authenticated User Identity.
Here is were my problem begins.
Of course i need to somehow map the identity provided by the AzureAD to a certain Account for our WebService - we cannot simply use the provided identity.
As far as i understand it, you can grant AzureAD the right to create an Account on the target WebService in the name of the user which is currently signing in.
(Its called : enabling automatic user provisioning in the azure management portal).
However, when testing this with the Box, Canvas or Google apps i failed. Either i got an error or in the case of google apps i was just promted to login with my azure AD test account and then asked for a password and username of my google account (i set up SSO as an azure AD trust relation- so this should not happen)
Can someone provide some insights on how to accomplish the following?
Once the user is authenticated by SSO I want to create an account for our WebSerivce and then save the credentials for that user only in the Active directory of that particular user.
So if the user logs in the second time we can check wether there is an account already existing and log in the user with this account.
(I was told by microsoft that this might be possible with Azure Rights Management, but i cannot really find good documentation on that)
Storing the relationship: "Microsoft AD Identity <-> our WebServiceAccount Credentials" on our side is not desired because we cannot securly encrypt the data in a way that we DONT know whats in there. (or there is , and i dont know of it yet)
"Bonus Question":
Can i support SSO for a desktop application too? (Do i need a provide proxy web application or can the desktop app do this directly?)
Please see my answer to a similar question here: asp.net azure active directory user profile data
However - I'm trying to understand if you need something different. Are you expecting your customers to already have a directory and Azure AD accounts (maybe through having Office 365 subscriptions), and use those to sign in to your web app, or does your app scenario require creation/provisioning of user accounts into your customer's Azure AD directory? Provisioning can be done through graph API (as per your link), as long as the admin of your customer grants consent to allow your app to write to their directory. You can find some samples on github, and I recommend you look through https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn499820.aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn646737.aspx for code samples.
HTHs,
I think, without testing it. That using the Graph API enables me to save custom data for any Directory User effectively enabling my desired functionality.
This is the documentation i found very usefull.
