Migrating from LEX247 Authentication to Azure AD

  • Updated

Here we describe how to migrate from LEX247 Authentication to Azure AD Authentication.

This process will require an Azure AD Administrator or Global Administrator to Grant LEX247 application to connect to your Azure AD.

 

Important Notes:

  1. The User that is attempting the AzureAD Migration must be an Administrator or Global Administrator in your AzureAD. 
      • If you have changed the rights to make this "applied" - it can take up to 24 hours for Microsoft to fully apply the rights everywhere in your AzureAD. 
  2. Before starting the migration it can be good to ensure that you have at least one user in LEX247 that has the same username as the e-mail used in your Azure AD.

Head over to the Control Panel, under Organisation, click on Lawfirm Settings or follow the link below.
https://your-firm-name.lex247.com/admin/tenantsettings

Replace your-firm-name below to the name of your LEX247 tenant name. Example, if you registered your LEX247 account with the Firm Name "Relexlaw" - then the URL will be 
https://relexlaw.lex247.com/admin/tenantsettings

 

Then you will see the following screen.

After pressing Accept LEX247 will migrate any users that exist in your Azure AD, and those that can not be found will be deactivated. And the user that was used, if not already exists in the tenant will be added as Administrator.

 

Finally, you will be redirected to the following screen, where you can click on your custom URL below to proceed and log in using Azure AD to your tenant.

Now your tenant has been successfully migrated to use Microsoft Azure AD.

 

Note:

1. Ensure you are a User with 'Administrator'-rights set to access the Control Panel.
