Android SSO

Hello.. I'm trying to see if this is possible. We would like for users to log in (from the device using shared-device://# ) through our Azure idp, which works (though with some extra annoying steps).. but we would like to pass this authentication to other apps on the device. Some are webapps accessed through Chrome, some are thick apps on the phone, but all are authenticated through Azure. I know in ios we can do this through MS Authenticator SSO extension, but I'm not seeing that as an option for Android.

I'm also interested in implementing such a scenario, if any!

BlueFletch will satisfy this requirement and then some. The only other alternative I know of is Microsoft's Managed Home Screen.

So if I understand correctly there is no way to achieve this goal without a "3rd Party Tool"...

This is an additional information for Samsung KNOX's device.

We're using the Hypergate app to accomplish this at one customer using Kerberos - apparently it should also support Azure AD but I haven't tested it.

Going down the MS route I would expect you to have to install Authenticator and maybe even company portal as a token provider (don't know if you have to log on though). I would presume you'd have to use MS Edge as the browser.

Can you explain the extra annoying steps you mention?
