MyPC EntraID Authentication with Local AD-Entra Sync Clients

In hybrid domain environments where EntraID is in place, but PCs are still joined to a local AD with EntraID sync, MyPC Cloud can function effectively. Here is how:

Prerequisites:

  • The UPN in the local AD must match the EntraID UPN.
  • Local AD clients must support login with UPN.
  • Users must be advised to use UPN when logging into the client.
  • Login to MyPC Cloud Web will be via the EntraID login button.

Example Setup:

  1. Local AD Configuration:
    1. Domain suffix matches EntraID for example: mypcitsltduk.onmicrosoft.com.
    2. User added to AD: samAccountName is Presales and UPN is presales@mypcitsltduk.onmicrosoft.com. This UPN matches the EntraID UPN for the user. 
  2. Client PC Setup:
    1. Install MyPC Cloud EntraID client.
    2. Configure EntraID Tenant ID on MyPC Cloud service.
  3. Login Process:
    1. User logs in with UPN from AD: presales@mypcitsltduk.onmicrosoft.com.
    2. This logs the user into the local AD.
    3. MyPC Cloud client for EntraID launches post-login to validate the user.
    4. UPN is sent to MyPC Cloud Service.
    5. MyPC Cloud Service uses EntraID integration to verify the user.
    6. If confirmed, the user is allowed to use the PC.

User Instructions:

  • Users should log in to the MyPC Client PC using their UPN.
  • On the MyPC Cloud UI, they should use the EntraID login button for Microsoft validation.
  • Ideally, users should have the same password for both AD and EntraID.

Why This Works:

  • The login request from the client contains the UPN from the login event.
  • MyPC Cloud client for EntraID captures the UPN via a Windows system call  and sends it to the service.
  • The service validates the user with EntraID via the Graph API.
  • A true or false message is returned to the client.
    • If the user exists, they can use the client PC controlled by MyPC.
    • If the user does not exist, they are gracefully logged off.

This setup ensures a seamless and secure authentication process for users in a hybrid domain environment.
