Location Restriction for Office 365


How can Location Restriction restrict access to Office 365 to our corporate devices?

miniOrange allows you to restrict the use of your application only within a particular range or location. Users outside of that location are not allowed to access the applications.

  • Aside from IP and Device, another helpful restriction type is location based restriction. A lot of applications require there to be fine-tuned control over which applications need to be granted access based on the location of the user trying to gain access. Here, miniOrange’s Location-based restriction can easily be set up to scan a user’s access location and enable / disable access accordingly. It can be set up to an accuracy of a few kilometers, and you can have the option to grant access or deny access based on this location data.
  • The admin shortlists and configures a list of Geo-locations where they want to allow end-users to either login or deny based on the location set by the admin. When a user tries to login with adaptive authentication enabled, his location attributes such as (Latitude, Longitude, and Country Code) are verified against the Location list configured by the admin, and based on this user will be either allowed, challenged, or denied.

Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Shibboleth, Ping, Okta, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more.



Prerequisites

    1. Sync On-Premise Active Directory with Azure Active Directory

      NOTE: If you want to use your On-Premise Active Directory as a user store to Single Sign-On into Office 365 then follow the below steps to sync your AD and Azure AD.

    • Download the Azure AD Connect
    • Run the Azure AD installer on your domain machine and follow the setup.

    2. Verify your UPN Domain in Azure Portal

    • In the Azure portal navigate to Azure Active Directory >> Custom domain names and click on Add custom domain.
    • Enter the full domain name in the right pane that pops up and click on Add domain.
    • Office 365 Single Sign-On (SSO) Add custom domain

    • A new window will open up with TXT/MX records for the domain. You will have to add the resented entry in your domain name registrar.
    • Office 365 Single Sign-On (SSO) Add domain record

    • Click on verify once you have added the entry

Follow the Step-by-Step Guide given below to configure Location Restriction for Office 365


1. Setup a Custom Branded URL in miniOrange Admin Console

Single Sign-On into Office 365 requires a custom branded URL to be set. Access to miniOrange and connected resources will need to be through the custom branded URL in the format: https://<custom_domain>.xecurify.com/moas

  • Login to miniOrange Admin Console.
  • Click on Customization in the left menu of the dashboard.
  • In Basic Settings, set the Organization Name as the custom_domain name.

4. Configure Location Restriction: Restricting access by Limiting the number of locations

In this restriction method, admin configures a list of locations where we want to allow end-users to either login or deny based on the condition set by the admin. When a user tries to login with adaptive authentication enabled, his Location Attributes such as (Latitude, Longitude and Country Code) are verified against the Location list configured by the admin. And based on this user will be either allowed, challenged or denied.
