Enabling SSO for myEAS/EAS with Microsoft Entra ID - OpenID Connect

Use Microsoft Entra ID to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for myEAS/EAS with the OpenID Connect protocol. With this setup, your users sign in through Microsoft Entra ID and get secure, seamless access to myEAS/EAS without separate credentials.

This configuration establishes trust between Microsoft Entra ID (Identity Provider) and Retarus (Service Provider).

Prerequisites

  • You have administrator access to the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  • Each user's email address attribute is available in your directory. myEAS/EAS uses the mail attribute to authenticate users.

  • If the email address used for Entra login differs from the myEAS/EAS login, contact your Retarus Implementation Engineer to clarify which directory attribute to use.

  • You have received a Redirect URI from your Retarus Implementation Engineer.
