• Steps to login to ExSign using Azure Credentials: Now, make sure that the Azure AD user that wants to login to ExSign Portal using Azure should also exist on the AD of the ExSign Portal. This scenario is true for the Portal Admin and Exchange Admin. In the case of the OU Admin, its user must be created in the respective remote AD. 
• Then, provided that the Azure AD user also exists on the respective AD, make that user a member of that AD’s security group (for Portal and Exchange Admins, the Azure user must be member of either the Portal Admin’s security group or Exchange Admin’s security group. For the OU Admin, the Azure user must be a member of the OU Admin’s security group). 
• Now, log-in using the Azure user’s credentials and click “Sign in with Azure”.
