We are developing a multi-tenant application that is hosted in Azure. We're using IdentityServer4 for handling authentication and authorization. Recently, we enabled the SSO by registering our application in Azure AD. We enabled the multi-tenant SSO in the App registration service. The SSO works fine and client users can sign in with their Azure AD.
The users are accessing the application by providing the URL in the following format https://myapplication.com/mytenant. When a user logs in for the first time consent is required and if accepted the user can successfully log into its tenant space.
After the first successful access, our application is added to the My Apps portal in Azure.
Our problem is that the URL in My Apps is pointing to the one provided in the Branding tab in App registration but not the one that the user logged in for the first time. Since this is a multitenant application every tenant has its own URL.
Is it possible for the first sign-in URL to be saved in the My Apps portal? We can do an Azure tenant - application tenant sync based on claims but that means a lot of trouble just for accessing the My Apps portal.
An administrator of each customer could add a linked "single sign-on" app in their organization and assign it to users, but there's no way to have your single multi-tenant app present in different tenants with different URLs.
What you could do instead is to have your (only) sign-in URL be a URL that triggers a sign-in (generically, on the "common" or "organizations" endpoint, instead of a tenant-specific endpoint). Once the user has signed in, then you'll know what tenant the user belongs to, and you could redirect them to the appropriate version of your site.

I have SAML SSO setup made for an Active Directory. I have another tenant which contains an app service, a webapp, which tries to authenticate using the SAML connection details.
I'm getting:
AADSTS700016: Application with identifier was not found in the directory . 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.
Isn't it possible to authenticate with users from an AD for multiple applications from different tenants using SAML SSO?
External users won't be able to log in to the Single Tenant application. These users would need to be existing in the same Tenant.
Make your app as a Multi-tenent as per rbrayb.
Multiple application that has its own account system, or supports other kinds of sign-ins from other cloud providers, adding Azure AD sign-in from any tenant is simple. Just register your app, add sign-in code via OAuth2, OpenID Connect, or SAML, and put a "Sign in with Microsoft" button in your application.
Based on the error,
Try Solution 1:
Make use of Application Client ID, instead of using any other client ID.

We are building a Web App/API to publish in our Azure AD and want to provide access to the app by inviting (B2B scenario) external users into our Azure AD. This will create accounts in our Azure AD of type "Guest" which we will use to assign permissions to the app. In this scenario, do we need to configure our application to be "multi-tenant"? There are steps to take inside the code to accommodate for multi-tenant sign-ins and there is a setting on the Settings tab of the App Registration in Azure AD that is labeled "Multi-tenanted" where you select either Yes or No. On the App Registration setting, there is a pop-out bubble that says:
Designates whether users in external organizations are allowed to grant your
app access to data in their organization's directory
I am not sure how (or if) the code changes and the app registration setting are related but our app will not need access to any data outside of our directory.
No your app does not need to be multi-tenanted and you do not need to direct users to the /common endpoint. I have tested this, and you still get a kind of SSO experience.
Example paul#org1.com (homed in Org1 AAD) is a guest user in Org2 AAD (invite has been accepted). Now this same user opens a private browser and logs in to Org1 AAD.
The user then tries to hit a web app with app registration in Org2, and web app redirects user to https://login.microsoftonline.com/org2.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authorize.
Result, user is considered logged in by AAD and gets redirected to the redirect_url with tokens, etc.
I am using Custom Policies on Azure B2C.
When I want to run the Custom Policy I can choose the application which I want to use with the policy. I saw that I'm not only able to use my applications from Azure B2C, I can use the applications from the App Registration section.
What is the differences. I've been able to signup and sign in users with both types of applications.
Thanks in advance!
The two sets of apps are completely independent of each other.
You should not be able to see any of the Azure AD B2C apps in the Application Registration in Azure Active directory.Also, the apps in the Application Registration should not be visible in the B2C .
In your issue , I assume that you should have add two apps in the two places.
What is the differences.
Application in Azure AD B2C :To build an application that accepts consumer sign-up and sign-in, you first need to register the application with an Azure Active Directory B2C tenant.
Application Registration in Azure AD: This creates an Application ID for the application, and enables it to receive tokens. In order to get a client ID and secret from Azure, you have to register the app and provide some basic information about it, including what resources your app wants to access, and what permissions it needs.
Depending on your scenario, you could register an application in both portals, and use the right one depending on the request you need to make.
The apps that are registered through each different location (Azure Active AD versus Azure AD B2C) are given credentials that are valid for any policy, including custom policies you have uploaded.
The end result is the same: you have an application that is registered with and can access the policy regardless of how that app/policy was created.
We have an Azure resource app whose APIs we want to expose for access by a client app on Azure. The two apps are on different tenants. The users accessing the APIs (Office 365 account holders) are on different tenants.
The whole set up works when we manually provision a service principal on the tenant that is trying to authenticate from the client app against the resource app. By that I mean they are able to log in using their Office 365 account and are shown the consent screen.
If we do not provision a service principal on the AAD tenant of the user trying to authenticate, we get this error:
AADSTS65005 - The app needs access to a service <service> that your
organization org.onmicrosoft.com has not subscribed to or enabled. Contact
your IT Admin to review the configuration of your service subscriptions.
It is not feasible for us to provision a service principal on every tenant that is accessing our app (resource app). Is there something we are missing? Are we using the right flow?
You can find help for your scenario here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-devhowto-multi-tenant-overview#understanding-user-and-admin-consent. (Scroll down to Multiple tiers in multiple tenants)
In the case of an API built by an
organization other than Microsoft, the developer of the API needs to
provide a way for their customers to consent the application into
their customers' tenants.
The recommended design is for the 3rd party
developer to build the API such that it can also function as a web
client to implement sign-up:
Follow the earlier sections to ensure
the API implements the multi-tenant application registration/code
requirements
In addition to exposing the API's scopes/roles, ensure
the registration includes the "Sign in and read user profile" Azure AD
permission (provided by default)
Implement a sign-in/sign-up page in
the web client, following the admin consent guidance discussed earlier
Once the user consents to the application, the service principal and
consent delegation links are created in their tenant, and the native
application can get tokens for the API
Basically, all of the parts that your app needs must be present as service principals in the customer's tenant. This is a requirement of AAD.
The only way for that to happen is for an admin to go through consent for the API and app separately, since they are registered in different tenants.
If they were registered in the same tenant, you could use the knownClientApplications property in the manifest to allow consenting to both at the same time.
In my case, I am exposing my own API and trying to access this API from my other Application (Client Credentials mode), I removed the default permission on both of the app(consuming app and api app) - "Azure Active Directory Graph-> User. Read" since I thought I don't need that but that caused this problem "The app needs access to a service .... that your organization has not subscribed to or enabled. Contact your IT Admin to review the configuration of your service+subscriptions.
I got the clue from the answer of #juunas - point 2. Thx Juunas
We have chosen Azure AD for authenticating users for the Enterprise Web applications developed using MVC and hosted on Azure Cloud Platform.
We are trying to plan & develop a common portal for the users to which they can login using Azure AD login screen. This Portal will display the links to the cloud applications to which the user has access and they could access the cloud application from this portal.
Please let me know whether this is feasible since I have read in many places that the Azure AD token assigned to the user from Azure AD is valid only for one resource or registered application. Does that mean that when they try to login into another Cloud application registered to the same Azure AD from the portal, they will need to login again or re-use the Azure AD token for the portal in the browser session cookie for logging into the other applications?
It's true that your users authenticate against an application registered in Azure AD and that the issued token is only valid for that application.
However, the user establishes a session with the authorization server (Azure AD) and will not be prompted for credentials when redirected there to authenticate against another registered application.
So your portal page can just contain links to the URLs for the applications. Each application redirects the user to Azure AD for authentication and the user is only prompted for credentials for the first application he/she logs in to.
