Overview

Microsoft Office 365-based Single Sign-On (SSO) is now available in openSIS. This guide will help you set up and enable SSO so that users can log in with their Microsoft credentials.

Step 1: Register Your App in Microsoft Azure

1. Go to the Azure Portal.

2. Sign in using your Microsoft credentials.

3. In the left sidebar, click “Microsoft Entra ID”.
   

4. Select “App registrations” and click on “New registration”.

5. Provide a name for your app.

6. Set the application type as SPA (Single Page Application).

7. Under Redirect URI, enter the openSIS redirect URL:
   https://<your-school-subdomain>.opensis.net/school/dashboards


8. Click Register.

Step 2: Copy Required IDs

Once the app is registered:

• Copy the following and store them safely:

  • Application (client) ID

  • Object ID

  • Directory (tenant) ID

You will need these values in the openSIS SSO settings screen.

Step 3: Configure SSO Settings in openSIS

1. Log in to your openSIS Admin portal.

2. Navigate to: Tools > SSO Settings > Office 365

3. Enter the IDs copied from Azure:

   • Application Client ID

   • Object ID

   • Directory Tenant ID

   • Redirect URL (same as above)

4. Toggle Allow SSO Login to ON.

5. Click Submit.

Step 4: Invite or Create Users in Microsoft Azure

• You can either create a new user or invite an existing user to your Azure Active Directory.
  

• The user will receive an invitation email.

• On acceptance, Microsoft will initiate a quick authentication setup.

• During setup, the user may need to verify via the Microsoft Authenticator App. If it's a personal Microsoft account, select “Personal” during authentication.

Step 5: Login Experience

Once configured:

• Users will now see the Microsoft login option on your openSIS login screen.

• Upon clicking, they will be redirected to Microsoft login.

• After successful authentication, they will land on the openSIS dashboard.
