Guide

• Azure Active Directory is a cloud-based directory service used at Miami that can be integrated in other cloud-based applications such as Webex
• It is a hosted service provided by Microsoft
  • Your browser must have cookies enabled to support single sign-on; many supported services will not work correctly if you disable cookies
• Applications using Azure Active Directory require signing in with your full Miami email address as your login name — not simply your Miami UniqueID. Redirection to the base web URL login.microsoftonline.com is normal while you are logging into an application that uses Azure Active Directory
• Additionally, Azure Active Directory leverages Duo two-factor authentication to help keep your account secure. This will redirect to the URL us.azureauth.duosecurity.com. The push notification from Duo will be identified as Azure Active Directory
