Getting started

Learn how to connect MS Entra (formerly Active Directory) with Becard, synchronize your data via SCIM, integrate SSO, or enable direct login through Microsoft.

The connection to Microsoft Entra requires the Becard Enterprise license and can only be managed through the Business Manager.

Becard offers comprehensive support for Microsoft Entra (formerly Microsoft Active Directory). Each function can be set up and used independently. For example, a company can choose to only synchronize data from Microsoft without using Single Sign-On. It is also possible to combine all functions.

A Microsoft Entra administrator is required for the following steps

The connection can only be established by a user with administrative rights in both Becard and Microsoft Entra. First, an Enterprise application must be created.

REQUIRED for all Modules: Microsoft Enterprise Application

Visit https://entra.microsoft.com/ and navigate to "Applications" -> "Enterprise applications". Then, go to "All applications" and create a new application by clicking the "New application" button.

In the following window, click on the "Create your own application" button and create an "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery)" application. The name can be freely chosen.

A Becard Business Manager administrator is required for the following steps

To perform the following steps, a Becard account with administrative rights in the Business Manager is necessary, as well as an existing space with an Enterprise license. To set up the Microsoft integration, we first need to open the respective directory under "User Directory" to link the corresponding space (License Reference). If no "User Directory" exists, we can create one by selecting "Create User Directory".
