Business value
Retailers who use Commerce point of sale (POS) and other applications based on Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) on the same device typically want to enable Azure AD as the authentication method for POS sign-in, and expect a single sign-on experience across all apps. That way, users don't have to enter their account and password to sign in to every application they use. In addition, if users have their own Azure AD-based Windows sign-in credentials, using that Azure AD credential to access POS could light up a seamless sign-in experience, and provide a fast switch between POS users when the Windows user is changed.
Feature details
This feature aims to provide a configurable option to enable an Azure AD single sign-on experience for POS. Once enabled, users can seamlessly sign in to POS with the credentials used when signing in to other Azure AD-based applications or Windows, without needing to enter their Azure AD account and password again.
