    Hi JHeck ,

    Based on the steps you've given here, the exact same setup is not possible that I know of with Service Desk.

     

    One idea might be to use ADFS to authenticate your customers locally, perhaps through MS Office?  Reference doc:  Configure Self Registration

     

    I realize this is not what your asking, but thought it could be a workaround.

Hello @AshC,

 

I am looking into this for my customers only, technicians are not a concern. My only customers will be other employees within our agency. Since our active directory is through Azure I would like to link this up so each customer does not have to create an additional login, instead they can use their Microsoft Office 365 credentials to login. We have another web based program that is using Azure AD for login. The login process happens like this:

 

1. The user access the login page. There are 2 login buttons "Login" and "AD Login" 

2. the user selects "AD Login" and is redirected to the Microsoft login page. (The page looks identical to portal.office.com)

3. The user signs in on the Microsoft login page with their microsoft credentials.

4. Upon successful login the user is redirected to the web application. (They will be registered automatically if they have not been previously)

 

I would like to have the exact same setup for the customer portal of GoToAsist Service Desk.

 

Here are the instructions for the web app we have working currently.

Is this setup possible for GoToAssist Service Desk Customer Portal?

 

Thank you,

 

Justin
