Hi Friends,
In this section, we are going to delve further in Azure AD and see how to add custom domains in it.
-
In the previous example, you have seen that we created one user with the name Johnny Page. But, it got created on domain rahulaz.onmicrosoft.com, which many a time isn’t preferred in organizations.
-
Let’s say, I have any user on company domain or on let’s say gmail account and I want to use Single Sign On (SSO) feature. In that case, above example won’t work. We need some way to add custom domain here.
- We can certainly do it from Active Directory as shown below.
- Upon clicking on Custom Domain Names, it will open below page.
- You can see here, that one default domain is already added. Now, click on Add Custom domain.
- Here, I have added one which I owned via my registrar namecheap. Next, it will give info like shown below.
- Now, in order to verify this, I need to add this as txt record via my registrar under my site dns/host records settings like shown below.
- Now, I will click on TXT, and fill the details like
- Click on save changes. This will take some to reflect.
- On the Azure side, if you click on verify now, it will show below error
- Hence, let’s give it a day or two, to get the same propagated. Ideally, you should get notified via email, once its done.
- Upon successful verification, it will appear like this:
- At this instant, when I see on custom domain names page, I can see like
- Now, If I go and create a user with this domain, then it will allow me since its a valid domain now.
- Hence, now I have these many users.
Thanks for joining me.
Thanks,

Happy Coding
