Switching from SurePassID directory to Active Directory, here is how you do it.

To further strengthen security for on-premises installations, you can opt to utilize Active Directory (AD) for the initial authentication factor when accessing the SPAS (MFA) portal. To activate this capability, simply follow these instructions:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio.

2. Locate and edit the PartnerSettings table.

3. For the tenant involved, update the DirectoryAuthType from 0 to 1.

4. Update the DirectoryAuthEndPoint to your Windows domain name, such as mydomain.local.

After making these changes, the SurePassID portal will verify your username and password against your AD domain, guaranteeing a secure login process.
