There are three ways to connect the Collegial platform to Microsoft Azure Active Directory. Review the options to determine the best approach for your situation.
The table below illustrates the main differences in the three connection types. Review these capabilities to determine the best connection type for your organization.
| Connection type | “Native” Azure AD | Enterprise OIDC | SAML |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protocol | OAuth authorization code flow | OAuth implicit flow OR OAuth authorization code flow | SAML |
| Can it provide optional claims from Azure AD? | No | Yes | Yes |
| Federated logout support (“Single Logout” or SLO) | Yes | No | Yes |
| Provides AD Groups | Yes, friendly names | Yes, object IDs | Yes, object IDs |
| Provides Extended Profile | Yes | No | No |
We recommend starting with the native Microsoft Azure AD connection. If you need further customization, review the SAML connection configuration. Also, if your organization has additional restrictions on OAuth code flows, review the Enterprise OIDC configuration.
