Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft Onedrive Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Microsoft Onedrive Two Factor Authentication (2FA) or Multifactor Authentication is the process of authentication in which you have to provide two factors to gain access to your Onedrive personal vault. The First Factor is the one that you know, such as username and password. The Second factor is something unique such as a phone (for OTP) or fingerprint. This additional layer prevents any unauthorized person from accessing the resources on your microsoft account, even if they know your username and password. miniOrange provides 15+ authentication methods and solutions for various use cases.

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.

Follow the Step-by-Step Guide given below for Microsoft OneDrive Single Sign-On (SSO)
1. Setup a Custom Branded URL in miniOrange Admin Console
Single Sign-On into Microsoft OneDrive 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
In Choose Application Type click on Create App button in SAML/WS-FED application type.
In the next step, search for Office 365. Click on Office 365 app.
Make sure the SP Entity ID or Issuer is: urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline
Make sure the ACS URL is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf
Click on Next.
