Login through Azure Active Directory

SigningHub gives you an option to use your Microsoft Azure Active Directory credentials to log into SigningHub. In this case, you don't even need to have a SigningHub ID, as your Azure Active Directory account will be used for SigningHub authentication. However, logging in through your Azure Active Directory credentials for the first time, will take you to the registration screen and display your Azure Active Directory (email address) for new registration. After registration, you can easily log in through your Azure Active Directory credentials.

However, if the "Automatically register the users" is enabled from the "Auto Provision Users" screen, and an Azure Active Directory has been selected as an Authentication Profile, then the registration screen will not be displayed, as the provisioned Azure Active Directory users from there will be automatically registered and activated in SigningHub.


Login through your Azure Active Directory

  1. Go to the SigningHub login screen.

  2. Click the "More Login Options" link available at the bottom of the login screen. A dialogue box will appear listing all the supported authentication methods.

  3. Click the "Azure AD" option. The Microsoft Azure Active Directory app will appear in a popup.

  4. Specify your Microsoft Azure Active Directory ID and password in the app.

  5. Click the "Sign in" button. You will be authenticated into SigningHub.

In order to make your Azure Active Directory application running, you need to manually update a property on the Azure Portal under the application's manifest.

For this:

  1. Click Manifest at the left pane describing your app.

  2. Change the value of the oauth2AllowImplicitFlow property to True. If the property is not present, add it and set its value to true.

  3. Click "Save" to save the modified manifest.

  2. As a part of GDPR compliance, the "Service Agreement" dialogue box will appear after successful user authentication. This dialogue box contains the links to the "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" pages. SigningHub will ensure that you agree to them before letting you use your account.

  3. The "Service Agreement" dialogue box will not appear after successful user authentication if no Service Agreement is marked active.

  4. When using an on-premises installation of SigningHub and this is the only configured authentication for the end-users, then you won't need to click the "More Login Options" link to choose it. In that case, this authentication method will be invoked by default on the Login screen.

  5. Users cannot log in to SigningHub if their account is disabled, marked as dormant, or temporarily locked due to multiple invalid login attempts.
