Dublin (IR), February 2016 - LearnUpon, the world's fastest growing learning-management system, has announced a new integration with Microsoft Azure. LearnUpon customers can now use Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD) to manage user access and enable single sign-on (SSO). The integration will make it even easier for learners to access and use their LMS securely, and admins can enjoy a simple step-by-step user interface to configure the integration with Azure AD.
Azure AD supports rich enterprise-class single sign-on with LearnUpon out of the box. The tool provides an easy deployment experience for synchronization with identity systems like Windows Server Active Directory to enable sign-in to multiple applications. LearnUpon customers can integrate with Microsoft AD to provide users with a single common identity that will allow them to access the LMS and other Microsoft applications like Office 365. Users simply login to LearnUpon using their organizational accounts hosted in Microsoft Azure AD.
Single sign-on (SSO) allows learners to move directly from an intranet or corporate network to a personal learning portal without needing to login again. LearnUpon’s SSO functionality enables organizations to deliver a streamlined user experience across platforms.
Commenting on the announcement LearnUpon’s CTO, Des Anderson, said, "We are delighted to announce the release of our integration with Microsoft Azure AD. While we continue to broaden our ability to seamlessly integrate with any application of choice, we have seen a significant uptake in Azure AD requirements of late. Its simplicity, security, and ease of setup make it an ideal choice for anyone seeking an automatic login across their platforms and applications. Indeed our other SSO/API facilities can provide this functionality, but it’s really nice to be able to offer an out-of-box solution for our users!"
