Single Sign-on - Login Using Entra ID

This page is for configuring SSO for Maytas. To configure it for Maytas Hub, please follow the Maytas Hub SSO guide.

It is possible to login to Maytas using credentials from a Microsoft Entra ID account (formerly Azure AD). First this needs to be configured, which requires your Entra ID client ID and tenant (your Entra ID system administrator should be able to provide these values):

1. In Maytas, click the M5 button at the top left and select Options.
2. Go to Admin on the left (under the Maytas header).
3. In the Azure AD section, tick the boxes for the three settings and enter their values (note that these reference Azure AD but still apply to Entra ID):
   • Azure AD ClientId - Value provided by administrator
   • Azure AD Instance - This should be set to https://login.microsoftonline.com/
   • Azure AD Tenant - Value provided by administrator
4. Click OK.

Next, each user who needs to login using this feature must have the email address associated with their Entra ID account entered against their Maytas user account:

1. Go to Tools | Edit Permissions.
2. Right-click the user and select Edit.

3. Enter the Entra ID email address in the SSO Email box.

   

4. Click OK, then click Apply.

When a configured user now opens Maytas, if their configured credentials are recognised by Entra ID then they will be automatically logged into Maytas. Otherwise, the login prompt will now display a separate window (shown below) that can be used by configured users to select which Entra ID account to use. Alternatively, the window can be closed to login to Maytas as normal with Maytas credentials.

Finally, the desktop return URL and platform type in Entra ID must be set. The return URL must be set to:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient

The platform type for Maytas must be set to Mobile and desktop applications.
