Azure AD SSO for Django Apps: Complete Python Integration

The JetBrains Django Developers Survey 2025 reveals that 82% of Django developers use the framework professionally, with a significant portion of applications being B2B products. When enterprise customers request Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for employee authentication instead of storing passwords, developers can integrate Azure AD Single Sign-On (SSO) with Django using OpenID Connect. This involves mapping claims from Entra to Django users, which can be simplified through the SSOJet service that handles multi-tenant configurations. SSOJet allows a single OIDC connection, avoiding the need to manage individual tenant setups for each customer, which streamlines the process of onboarding new enterprise clients. The guide details the setup process, including configuring Authlib for authorization code exchanges, mapping Entra claims to Django user models, and creating custom authentication backends. It emphasizes the importance of using the oid claim for user identification over mutable fields like email, and highlights the security benefits of SSO, such as reducing account compromise risk by removing password storage from the application.
