NFC Authentication for Microsoft Entra ID users

Hello,

How can I enable NFC login for Microsoft Entra ID users in Lockdown on SOTI MobiControl 2026.0.2?

Is NFC login for Entra ID users supported in version 2026.0.2, or is it only available starting from 2026.1.0?

When configuring Lockdown, I select Microsoft Entra ID groups. After completing the configuration, I can see that NFC login is not authorized in Lockdown, regardless of what I select under “How users will unlock the device”.

On the login screen, the assigned authentication method is the Authenticator app.

Am I missing an additional setting, application, or requirement for NFC authentication to work with Entra ID users in Lockdown?

We are using SOTI Identity, with Microsoft Entra ID synchronized through it

Hi Peter,

Thank you for posting on SOTI Pulse.

Please find the answers to your queries below:

NFC login for Microsoft Entra ID (federated) users in Lockdown is not supported in SOTI MobiControl 2026.0.2. This functionality was introduced starting with SOTI MobiControl 2026.1.0.

In version 2026.0.2, the Lockdown NFC option supports only authenticator or badge credentials managed by SOTI Identity (local/SOTI-managed authenticators). If Microsoft Entra ID groups are selected, the authentication flow defaults to the Authenticator App because the integration between Microsoft Entra ID and NFC authentication was not available until version 2026.1.0.

Thank you for choosing SOTI.
