This article will walk you through the process of configuring single sign-on (SSO) using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication for Azure Virtual Desktop (preview). When you enable SSO, you can use passwordless authentication and third-party Identity Providers that federate with Azure AD to sign in to your Azure Virtual Desktop and Remote Applications. When enabled, this feature provides a single sign-on experience when authenticating to the session host and configures the session to provide single sign-on to Azure AD based resources inside the session.

When enabling single sign-on, you'll currently be prompted to authenticate to Azure AD and allow the Remote Desktop connection when launching a connection to a new host. Azure AD remembers up to 15 hosts for 30 days before prompting again. If you see this dialogue, select **Yes** to connect.

### Disconnection when the session is locked

When SSO is enabled, the Windows sign-in is done using an Azure AD authentication token, which provides support for passwordless authentication to Windows. The Windows lock screen in the remote session doesn't support Azure AD authentication tokens or passwordless authentication methods like FIDO keys. This would prevent users from being able to unlock their session. For this reason, when the session is locked, either through user action or system policy, the session is disconnected and an informational message is provided to the user.

Disconnecting the session also ensures that when the connection is relaunched after a period of inactivity, the applicable conditional access policies are evaluated.
