Functions

Linking Azure Active Directory to OpenID Directories (Administration) page allows for the following functions:

  • Manage and map directory users to FBO One users: Mapping directory users to existing FBO One users to allow directory login credentials to be linked to the FBO One user.

  • Disable FBO One IP whitelist check: Allow users to access FBO One directory login from outside of the IP whitelist. Note: Traditional FBO One login credentials are unaffected and cannot be used when outside the IP whitelist. See IP whitelist (Administration) and IPWhiteListEnabled.

  • Disable FBO One login for users: Disable FBO One traditional login for users, forcing directory login only.

Mapping directory users to FBO One users for login

Now that the App registration has been created and added into FBO One, directory users must now be mapped to an existing FBO One user account.

Users can be mapped to external directory users in two places:

  1. In the OpenID Directories (Administration) page in the ‘Mapping of FBO One user on external directory user’ area. Recommended for bulk mapping for many users.

  2. In the Users (Administration) in the 'OpenID Directory User Account' table. Useful when mapping single users.

Creating a mapping in the OpenID Directories page

  1. Navigate to OpenID Directories (Administration) page and click ‘select’ on the directory in the ‘OpenID Connect Directories’ table. Click ‘Add new’ in the 'Mapping of FBO One user on external directory user’ area to create a new mapping.

  2. Choose a FBO One user account from the ‘FBO One user’ drop down. Note: The drop down supports free text search.

  3. Add the ‘User principal name' from Azure to the ‘Directory user’ field.

  4. Ensure ‘Enabled’ is checked, if unchecked the mapping is disabled.

  5. Optional: Allow FBO One credentials: If ‘Yes’, the traditional FBO One login details for the mapped user will still be available. If ‘No’ only the directory user and login can be used for the mapped FBO One user.

  6. Click ‘Save’.

Creating a mapping in the Users page

  1. Navigate to Users (Administration) page and click ‘select’ on the user name in the ‘User accounts’ table. Click ‘Add new’ in the 'OpenID Directory User Account’ area to create a new mapping.

  2. Choose a directory from the ‘Directory’ drop down. Note: The drop down supports free text search.

  3. Add the ‘User principal name' from Azure to the ‘Directory user’ field.

  4. Ensure ‘Enabled’ is checked, if unchecked the mapping is disabled.

  5. Optional: Allow FBO One credentials: If ‘Yes’, the traditional FBO One login details for the mapped user will still be available. If ‘No’ only the directory user and login can be used for the mapped FBO One user.

  6. Click ‘Save’.
