To Register an MYOB Advanced Instance with Microsoft Account

Note: The information in this topic is obsolete. To configure single sign-on with Microsoft Account, use the OpenID Providers (SM303020) form, as described in Integrating MYOB Advanced with Open ID Identity Providers.
For your users to be able to sign in with their Microsoft accounts, you first have to register your MYOB Advanced instance with Microsoft Account and obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials. This is a necessary step in configuring single sign-on (SSO) for your MYOB Advanced instance.

Before You Begin

You should have a Microsoft account that you will use to register your MYOB Advanced instance. For more information about Microsoft accounts, see Microsoft account home page.
Attention: This topic describes the configuration of third-party software. Please note the following:
  • The procedure below is designed for the most common usage scenarios. If you are implementing a more complicated scenario and you encounter difficulties, contact MYOB Advanced technical support.
  • The vendor of the third-party software may change the user interface and settings. Therefore, the screen elements and setting names you see may differ from the ones described in the procedure.
  • The procedure will be updated each time information is made available about new common scenarios and changes in the user interface and settings.
