Overview

The ComUnity Developer Toolkit is a cloud-based solution deployed in Microsoft Azure, accessible from any browser. The URL you use to access the Toolkit depends on your organisation’s deployment type:

1. Shared Multi-Tenancy Environment:

For organisations using the shared ComUnity environment, access the Toolkit via, the URL:


https://toolkitnxt.comunity.me/

This environment is often used for testing or as part of a multi-tenancy organisational license.

2. Single-Tenancy Deployment:

For organisations with dedicated Toolkit instances, use the unique URL provided by your administrator. Single-tenancy deployments are hosted in isolated environments for enhanced security and customisation.

Use the Toolkit on your desktop for the best possible development experience.

The Toolkit supports multiple authentication options to cater to organisational needs. With the release of v24.4, Microsoft Entra authentication was introduced for single-tenancy instances hosted in Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Entra Login

As of version 24.4, the ComUnity Developer Toolkit supports Microsoft Entra as an authentication mechanism, enabling organisations to facilitate secure sign-ins for their users and partners. This integration offers a seamless, enterprise-grade authentication flow, aligning with modern identity management practices. Microsoft Entra authentication is available exclusively for single-tenancy Toolkit instances deployed in Azure environments. The introduction of Microsoft Entra authentication enhances the Toolkit’s ability to serve organisations managing complex authentication requirements for their users and partners. By leveraging Microsoft Entra, organisations can provide a unified authentication experience while maintaining high security standards and scalability. Advantages

• Unified Authentication: Supports both user and partner sign-ins.

• Enterprise-Grade Security: Utilises OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols.

• Simplified Management: Reduces administrative overhead in Microsoft Azure-hosted single-tenancy deployments.

Limitations

• Microsoft Azure Deployment Only: Microsoft Entra authentication is exclusive to single-tenancy instances hosted in Azure and is not supported in shared environments or the multi-tenancy ComUnity Platform.

Steps to Sign In with Microsoft Entra

1. Ensure you are signed into your organisational-issued Microsoft account. If not, visit Microsoft Account Login and authenticate.

2. Open your organisation’s Toolkit instance URL (e.g., https://yourorg.domain).

3. On the login screen, click Login with Microsoft. You will be authenticated and automatically redirected to the Toolkit’s Home Screen upon successful login.
