The Azure Single Sign On portal is a free component of the Azure AD Free plan that is available to all Office 365 tenants.

This means when the users sign into the Azure Single Sign On portal available via Office 365 they will be prompted to set up the required password reset information. You can then Require users to register when signing into the Access Panel. Next, you enter the questions you wish the user to create answers for. The next option allows you to set how many Security Questions are required to be answered from those set. You can choose how many authentication methods are required for password to be reset and since I have selected to use Security Questions, I can also determine how many questions will be required for the user to create. In this case I also added Security Questions. You can also configure the number of authentication methods. Scroll down and ensure User enabled for password reset is set to YES. If you now select the green Customize Branding button you will be taken to the above screen where you can upload a number of different graphics to be displayed in the portal as well as desired messaging as shown above. If you now return to the Configure tab you should find a new section devoted to user password reset policy as shown above.

When you assign a user an Azure AD Premium license you will see the above status message at the bottom of the screen indicating successful completion of the license assignment. In this case, it has been enabled for the same admin user who is logged into the Azure portal currently. You will also need to assign a license for an Office 365 global administrator to configure the service. To enable the Azure AD Premium features for users you will need to select a user from the list of Office 365 users displayed and then select the Assign button at the bottom of the screen. In a few moments you should see that the subscription is enabled as shown above. You will then need to wait a few minutes while the Azure AD Premium subscription is configured. Select the check button in the lower right hand of the window that appears once you have read its contents. Then select the link to Try Azure Active Directory Premium Now. To at least see what user self service password resets are all about you can enable a 90 day Azure AD Premium subscription by now selecting Licenses from the menu across the top. As I mentioned previously, soon you will not need to do this as it will be included in the standard Azure free AD offering.

This is because you need to firstly enable an Azure AD Premium subscription (or trial) to enable this feature. If you scroll through all the options on the page you will find no mention of user self service password resets. One of the options across the top now is Configure. If you select your Office 365 directory you will drill down into more information for that directory. When you select this you will then see your Office 365 AD to the right. You will typically only see the Active Directory option on the menu on the left. The first step in the process of enabling the user self service password reset feature is to login to your Office 365 Azure AD Free account, which I have detailed previously about enabling. In the very near future this will no longer be required and be available in the Office 365 Azure AD Free account.

So, this is how you enable it at the moment, with the requirement of an Azure Active Directory Premium subscription (which you can get on a 90 day trial). Thus, both branding and the user self service password reset ability will becoming available to all Office 365 subscribers. These two features were previously available with the Azure AD Premium subscription and are now being made available to all Office 365 subscribers.

Self Service Password Reset allows a user who has forgotten their password to reset it based on prearranged alternative personal information. Sign-in Page Branding enables an Office 365 customer to select custom colors, text and Imagery for their Office 365 sign-in page. Sign-In Page Branding and Self Service Password Reset Under вЂњDevelopmentвЂќ you will currently find: It is also important at this point to highlight some information from the Office 365 roadmap. I showed you how to enable this for every Office 365 account a few posts back. You can enable user self service password resets in Office 365, however at this point in time you need to have an Azure Active Directory Basic or Premium subscription enabled on your Office 365 Azure AD Free account. This means that a lot of this administration can be alleviated if the users are able to reset their own passwords. One of the most common tasks that any IT administrator performs is to reset users passwords.
