Configuration
Prepare your Office 365 account for single sign-on with your Moodle installation
You will need an Azure subscription. If you do not have one, you can create one by visiting [http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/ Microsoft Azure Sign Up](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/ Microsoft Azure Sign Up "wikilink")
To use Moodle with Office 365 for SSO, you must configure Microsoft Azure to manage your Office 365 Microsoft Azure Active Directory:
- Create a new Active Directory.
- Select Use existing directory.
![Add directory dialog with creation options]( "fig:Add directory dialog with creation options")
- Select I am ready to be signed out now and click the check mark.
![Add directory dialog log out option]( "fig:Add directory dialog log out option")
- Sign in with your Office 365 subscription credentials.
- Click Continue.
- Log out and sign back in to your Azure account.
Note: In order to sign-up for an Azure subscription, you are required to enter a credit card and phone number. If only use the subscription to access the Azure Active Directory associated with your Office 365 subscription and enable no other paid services such as Virtual Machines, you will not be charged for the subscription.
