Registering devices for Microsoft Entra Conditional Access

Information about step-by-step instructions for device users on how to register their devices with Microsoft Entra ID for Conditional Access, by using the Microsoft Authenticator broker app.

After registration, the MaaS360 Portal sends the device compliance status, that is returned by the devices, to Microsoft Entra ID. Conditional Access then determines whether to grant or deny access to Microsoft-approved cloud apps.

Android

  3. After installation, tap the Configure Microsoft Authenticator option in Corporate Settings again to initiate the device registration. The Register your device screen is displayed.
  4. Click Continue.

    The Microsoft Sign in page is displayed.

  5. Provide valid user credentials and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration.

    A device record is created in the Microsoft Entra Portal. If the registration fails, contact your corporate administrator.

  6. (Optional) After registering the device to Microsoft Entra ID for Conditional access, tap the Recheck Status button in the Configure Authenticator screen to check the latest device registration status.
    Note: If the authentication details are missing or the device is removed from the Microsoft Entra Portal, users are redirected to the authentication screen to complete the device registration again.

iOS

Follow these steps to register your iOS devices in Microsoft Entra ID:
  1. Open the MaaS360 for iOS app and navigate to Settings > General Settings and tap Configure Microsoft Authenticator.

    If the Microsoft Authenticator app is unavailable, users must download and install the app by tapping Download and Install.

    A device record is created in the Microsoft Entra Portal. If the registration fails, contact your corporate administrator.

How it works

Conditional Access verifies the device's enrollment status, Microsoft Entra ID registration, and compliance with corporate policies before granting access to Microsoft-approved cloud services or applications. If the device fails to meet the organization's policy criteria, MaaS360 blocks access to Microsoft services and applications.
