Introducing Office 365 Identity in Yammer

Hi All,

Finally an important requirement has addressed and released. Office 365 Identity in Yammer. with this Office 365 sign-in for Yammer, a feature allowing users to access Yammer with their Office 365 credentials and to work across Office 365 applications.

Below is the user’s login experience when Office 365 identity is and is not enforced for Yammer:

1. A user tries to login to Yammer, and is presented with a login dialog box.
2. The user enters his or her email address.
3. When Office 365 identity is enforced, the user is prompted to login with his/her Office 365 identity. If the customer has implemented the federated identity model in Office 365, the user will log in with single-sign-on.
4. When Office 365 identity is not enforced (this is the default setting), if there is an Office 365 account corresponding to the user’s email address, the user is prompted to log in with his or her Office 365 identity.

To Enforce Office 365 Identity in Yammer;

In the Security Settings page, go to the Enforce Office 365 Identity section and select the Enforce Office 365 identity checkbox.

This setting will override any existing Yammer single sign-on (SSO) configuration that was previously done. You do not need to explicitly turn off Yammer SSO before enforcing Office 365 identity. You must be both a Yammer verified administrator and an Office 365 global administrator to see this section.
