About Single Sign-On with Microsoft Azure Active Directory

Microsoft Azure AD’s single sign-on feature lets Ajera users log on to Ajera using their Windows usernames and passwords instead of using separate Ajera usernames and passwords. To set up single sign-on, an Ajera administrator must complete the following configuration steps, described in more detail in this guide.

Important Considerations Regarding SSO Model

Currently, the most common single sign-on model used by Ajera customers is to synchronize users and passwords to Windows Azure Active Directory.

An alternative method is to set up Windows Azure Active Directory to federate back to your local Active Directory via ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) to authenticate users via your on-premises Active Directory. With this model, you do not need to synchronize users and passwords to Windows Azure Active Directory.

Support for Multi-Factor Authentication

Windows Azure Active Directory supports multi-factor authentication.

Configure Single Sign-On using Azure AD

To set up single-sign on, an Ajera administrator must complete the following steps:

1. Sign up for Microsoft Azure AD account.
2. Configure Azure AD Connect.
3. Add and Configure the Deltek Ajera Application.
4. Set Up the Azure Integration in Ajera.
5. Log in Using Windows Authentication.
