Microsoft Azure Single Sign On Setup

What is Microsoft Single Sign-On (Microsoft SSO)?

Microsoft SSO allows organizations that use Office 365 to login to the Edlio CMS using those same accounts. 
 

Why use Microsoft SSO?

Simplicity and Security. Reducing the number of passwords a user has and the number of locations in which a user is managed simplifies the entire administration. Microsoft's account security is quite good. Their two-factor authentication, password reset flows, and intrusion detection systems are impressive.
