Logging in with Microsoft Azure MFA

Logging into the Live Platform portal interface is secured using Azure Authentication with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Login can be performed by any M365 user who is configured as a Live Platform operator configured in the Enterprise application for the Live Platform instance of the customer tenant (see Setting up Microsoft Azure Authentication).

To login using Azure authentication:
1. Enter the link for the Portal – DNS or IP address.
2. In the Username field, enter the operator username.
3. Ensure that the “Use Azure Authentication” check box is selected.

4. Click Login with Microsoft.

5. Enter user name and password and then click Sign in.
6. You will be prompted to authenticate your account using Microsoft Authenticator. A screen similar to the following is displayed.

7. Follow the steps to configure the user account in the Microsoft Authenticator.

After logging out or after the browser is closed, all saved GUI contexts are retrieved the next time the operator logs in. Best practice is to save the workspace you’re currently performing operations in, so re-accessing it is quick and effortless.
