Joomla Authenticate users via Azure Active Directory

Joomla Plugin Authenticate users via Azure Active Directory.

• Very easy to integrate. 
• Compatible to Joomla 4.x and Joomla 5.x
• Azure Active directory Integration

HOW TO USE:

• Set up an Azure AD Application:

  • Go to the Azure portal.
  • Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations > New registration.
  • Name the application (e.g., JoomlaIntegrationApp).
  • Set the Redirect URI to your Joomla site’s URL (e.g., https://yourjoomlasite.com/).
  • Choose Web as the platform.
  • Note down the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID.
  • Go to Certificates & Secrets and create a client secret. Note down this value.

• Install Composer and Azure PHP SDK in Joomla: Joomla 5 relies on Composer for managing external libraries. The microsoft-graph package is used to interact with Azure AD.

  • In your Joomla root directory, run:
    bash

    Copy code

    composer require microsoft/microsoft-graph

✅ 5. Redirect Users to Azure Login

You must link or customize your login page to initiate Azure OAuth login. Joomla won’t redirect automatically unless you:

• Modify the login form to link to Microsoft login (https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?...)

• Or provide a separate login button

✅ 6. Ensure Joomla Users Exist

This plugin does not create new users. Users must:

• Already exist in Joomla with a matching email

• Or, you must customize it to auto-create users on successful login
