You can use Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) with M-Files Mobile for authenticating to M-Files vaults. When MSAL is enabled, the M-Files Mobile applications use the library for authenticating to the vaults.

Note: You can use MSAL only with Microsoft Entra ID.

To enable MSAL:

  1. Open M-Files Admin.
  2. In the left-side tree view, expand a connection to M-Files server.
  3. Expand Document Vaults.
  4. Click Federated Authentication.
  5. In the Configuration tab, expand Scopes > *:Windows > Configurations > Configuration > Settings > Client.
    Make a note that the name of the Configuration setting can come from automatic configuration and have a different name. For example, AAD.MFGenerated.
  6. In Show advanced options, select Yes.
  7. In UseMicrosoftAuthenticationLibraryInMobile, select True.
    For information about the setting, see the Info tab.
  8. Click Save.
MSAL can now be used for authenticating to M-Files vaults in M-Files Mobile.
