Using Google Apps for Work account to sign in to access Azure portal


In our organization, we are using Google Apps for Work for emails, calendar, document repository. We also have some other services that we are using our google account to authenticate with SSO support. Simply google account is our SSO account that we want to use in all services we are using.

There are few exceptional services that we were not able to setup Google as identity provider. One of them is Azure Services. In azure, you can provision Azure Active Directory and create accounts in it and use that accounts to access many other Azure Services, such as Azure SQL Databases. If you are using Visual Studio Team Service, you can also configure VSTS to backed by AAD, then you can access to VSTS using AAD Account.

My question is, is there a way to configure AAD to delegate authentication on google side ?

If we can do this, then we would be able to use our Google Account to access all azure services


Solution

  • No, Microsoft services pretty much don't support any accounts other than Azure AD & Microsoft Account at this time.
