Prev Next

Pre-requisites

  • An Azure AD Administrator Account to grant the necessary permissions to the application to authenticate with AAD. 

  • A Service account or a user account for the bulk token enrollment process of VMs 

  • New Control Account

Steps: 

  • After a new Control Account is created and verified, the user can log in to the account with the initial account created during the setup. 

  • The Administrator would see the below screen where he/she must choose the type (AAD or Active Directory). 

  1. Full AAD: If the control account is configured with this option, both the Workspot Client and the Desktop Authentication should happen using the AAD credentials. 

  1. Active Directory: If this is chosen, then the account can be configured to use AAD or AD for Client Authentication but can only be configured to use AD for Desktop Authentication.

  • A new window will appear, with the details and the list of the permissions required. Please go through and Click on Continue. 

  • A new Window will appear asking to provide the AAD Admin credentials. 

  • Once the credentials are provided, the below screen will appear asking you to review the permissions that you are about to grant to the application. 

  • After reviewing, click on Accept.

  • Once the process is complete you will be successfully signed out of the AAD account. 

  • On the control page, you can now see that the permissions are granted for Control 

  •  Click on the “Use Bulk Token Refresh” radio button
