SureAccess Login with Microsoft Entra

This guide focuses specifically on configuring SureAccess as a secure VPN gateway using Microsoft Entra ID for authentication. In this setup, the Entra login screen acts as the "gatekeeper" that users must pass through to establish a secure VPN tunnel to corporate resources.

The integration process consists of two main steps:

Configure Microsoft Entra for SAML Integration

Configure SureAccess Authentication Type in SureMDM
