About Azure SSO for Box+Dice

Azure single sign‑on (SSO) allows users to access Box+Dice using their existing Microsoft Azure credentials. This removes the need for separate Box+Dice passwords and provides a more secure, efficient authentication experience. Administrators configure Azure SSO so their team can use a single identity across their systems.


Register application

Before connecting to Box+Dice, you must register a new application in Azure and gather essential IDs and secrets.

To register the application:

  • Sign in to the Azure portal

  • Select the Directory + Subscription icon in the portal toolbar

  • Select the directory that contains your Azure AD B2C tenant

  • In the Azure portal, search for and select Azure AD B2C

  • Go to Applications and click New registration
  • Enter an application name of your choice
  • Click Register to create the application

Configure the client secret

Azure requires a client secret so Box+Dice can authenticate securely.

To create a client secret:

  • Click Certificates & secrets

  • Click New client secret
  • Set Expires to Never

Add your client secret to Box+Dice

Once Azure generates the key details, add them to Box+Dice so the systems can communicate.

To add the Provider Secret:

  • Copy your Client secret from Azure

  • In Box+Dice, Go to: Settings > General > Single Sign-on (SSO)

  • Locate the Provider Secret field 

  • Paste the client secret into the field

  • Copy the Application (client) ID from Azure
  • Paste it into the Provider ID field in Box+Dice

  • Copy the Directory (tenant) ID from Azure
  • Paste it into the Provider Tenant ID field in Box+Dice

  • Click Save

Add redirect and logout URLs

Box+Dice relies on specific redirect URLs to ensure sign‑in and sign‑out work correctly.

To add redirect settings:

  • In Azure, open Authentication and click Add the redirect URLs
  • Click Add a platform

  • Select the web platform application

  •  Fill in the Redirect URIs and Logout URL and check the two implicit grant flows:

  • Ensure you put in exactly Redirect URLs (must include https):
    • https://{your subdomain}.boxdice.com/auth/azure_activedirectory_v2/callback
    • https://{your subdomain}.boxdice.com.au/auth/azure_activedirectory_v2/callback

      (where {your subdomain} is the subdomain you use to access Box+Dice)
  • Ensure you put in exactly Logout URLs (must include https):
    https://{your subdomain}.boxdice.com/auth/azure_activedirectory_v2/logout

    (where {your subdomain} is the subdomain you use to access Box+Dice)
  • Click Configure

  • Save your SSO settings

Your users should now be able to sign in using their Microsoft credentials.
