MR84/MR42 - Authentication

Hello,

 

  I have several MR84's and MR42's that are currently allowing Internet access via Splash page with my users. I am using the Sign-on with - Third-Party Credentials with Accepted credentials set to Google. This is allowing all of my users to basically authenticate using their Email/Password. The problem is I have recently switched to Office365 (Outlook) and I do not see any documentation on allowing users to authenticate via Outlook (or Office 365).

 

  Is there a way to authenticate users via Outlook or Office365 similar to the above method of using Google? If anyone can point me in the right direction on a documented method that works that would be very helpful. Meraki Support mentioned Azure AD, but I have not found anything in the documentation on how to set that up in the Meraki Dashboard or any settings I need to setup in the Office 365 portal.

Hi @n0x, If you're not actually configuring splash page with Active Directory integration as shown here https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Splash_Page/Integrating_Active_Directory_with_Sign-On_Splash_... then this other post might be a good reference https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/Office-365-authentication-on-Meraki-WiFi/td-p/69924

If you are using pure Azure AD (so no local Active Directory) then you can't authenticate against it using what comes with the Meraki system.

 

Azure AD basically requires an OUATH authenticator, which means its system requires that it's authentication web page is popped up before continuing.  Quite a painful thing to create from a splash page.

 

I believe some third parties like Splash Access offer a solution for doing this:
