AzureAD with Authpoint Windows Logon App
So we have been testing the Authpoint Logon App with a machine that is joined to AzureAD (not hybrid). Technically, we get it to work. However, you always have to select Other User, and enter "AzureAD{AzureUsername}".
Has anyone tried to do this? And does anyone know if it is or will be supported? We would love to use this in-house as well as proposing it to our clients, but we cant under this circumstance. Its too cumbersome.

As far as I'm aware, all that replace the logon experience will run into this issue.
Using the default logon experience (like how authpoint did when it first launched) severely limits its functionality and logon options.

Hi Jon,
I believe that the option you're choosing is just appending the users full azureAD username.
Does it work in the same way as selecting other if you just type in User@domain.com as the username?
(e.g. jamesc@watchguardsupport.com)

Hi James.
OK, that was really strange!
If I log in with my email address or with my full name (Nospace and no AzureAD), it lets me in. Same windows profile, same windows (AssureAD) password. But there is no MFA prompt at all! It just bypasses Authpoint entirely.
If I login with AzureAD\fullname, it prompts for AuthPoint and works.
There was an issue with previous versions of the logon app where you could bypass azure AD -- Can you please check to see if you're using the latest version of logon app?
Should be 2.4.2.291 for Windows, and 1.9.0.73 for Mac.

The way windows is set up for Azure, it's expecting the user's full username (user@whatever.com) -- so azure AD users will need to log in that way, or by using that procedure you mentioned (via other.)
You should, however, be seeing the MFA prompt for that.
If it continues to not show up, I'd suggest a support case so that we can dig into the logs and figure out what's going wrong.

Yes, the machine I am testing with appears to be behind. I will update and give all of this a try again. Thank you!
That resolved both problems! Works fine now. Thanks James!
Does Authpoint prevent the use of Hello options? I cant use FP or PIN on the test machine.
Hi Jon,
Yes, Authpoint prevents using them to sign in because they bypass the login process.

Hmm. That stinks. Is that true for all MFA, or Authpoint specifically?
Thank you James. Happy Holidays.
