This article describes how to set up a federation with another Azure AD B2C tenant. When your applications are protected with your Azure AD B2C, this allows users from other Azure AD B2C’s to login with their existing accounts. In the following diagram, users are able to sign in to an application protected by Contoso’s Azure AD B2C, with an account managed by Fabrikam’s Azure AD B2C tenant. In this case, user account must be present in Fabrikam’s tenant before an application protected by Contoso’s Azure AD B2C can attempt to sign in.

As of November 2020, new application registrations show up as unverified in the user consent prompt unless the application's publisher domain is verified and the company’s identity has been verified with the Microsoft Partner Network and associated with the application. (Learn more about this change.) Note that for Azure AD B2C user flows, the publisher’s domain appears only when using a Microsoft account or other Microsoft Entra tenant as the identity provider. To meet these new requirements, do the following:
- Verify your company identity using your Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) account. This process verifies information about your company and your company’s primary contact.
- Complete the publisher verification process to associate your MPN account with your app registration using one of the following options:
- If the app registration for the Microsoft account identity provider is in a Microsoft Entra tenant, verify your app in the App Registration portal.
- If your app registration for the Microsoft account identity provider is in an Azure AD B2C tenant, mark your app as publisher verified using Microsoft Graph APIs (for example, using Graph Explorer). The UI for setting an app’s verified publisher is currently disabled for Azure AD B2C tenants.
To enable sign-in for users with an account from another Azure AD B2C tenant (for example, Fabrikam), in your Azure AD B2C (for example, Contoso):
- Create a user flow, or a custom policy.
- Then create an application in the Azure AD B2C, as describe in this section.
To create an application.
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
If you have access to multiple tenants, select the Settings icon in the top menu to switch to your Azure AD B2C tenant from the Directories + subscriptions menu.
-
In the Azure portal, search for and select Azure AD B2C.
-
Select App registrations, and then select New registration.
-
Enter a Name for the application. For example, ContosoApp.
-
Under Supported account types, select Accounts in any identity provider or organizational directory (for authenticating users with user flows).
-
Under Redirect URI, select Web, and then enter the following URL in all lowercase letters, where
your-B2C-tenant-nameis replaced with the name of your Azure AD B2C tenant (for example, Contoso).https://your-B2C-tenant-name.b2clogin.com/your-B2C-tenant-name.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authrespFor example,
https://contoso.b2clogin.com/contoso.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authresp.If you use a custom domain, enter
https://your-domain-name/your-tenant-name.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/authresp. Replaceyour-domain-namewith your custom domain, andyour-tenant-namewith the name of your tenant. -
Under Permissions, select the Grant admin consent to openid and offline_access permissions check box.
-
Select Register.
-
In the Azure AD B2C - App registrations page, select the application you created, for example ContosoApp.
-
Record the Application (client) ID shown on the application Overview page. You need this when you configure the identity provider in the next section.
-
In the left menu, under Manage, select Certificates & secrets.
-
Select New client secret.
-
Enter a description for the client secret in the Description box. For example, clientsecret1.
-
Under Expires, select a duration for which the secret is valid, and then select Add.
-
Record the secret's Value. You need this when you configure the identity provider in the next section.

{tenant}with the domain name of your Azure AD B2C tenant (for example, Fabrikam). Replace the{policy}with the policy name you configure in the other tenant:https://{tenant}.b2clogin.com/{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com/{policy}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configurationFor example,
https://fabrikam.b2clogin.com/fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1_susi/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration. -
For Client ID, enter the application ID that you previously recorded.
-
For Client secret, enter the client secret that you previously recorded.
-
For the Scope, enter the
openid. -
Leave the default values for Response type, and Response mode.
-
(Optional) For the Domain hint, enter the domain name you want to use for the direct sign-in. For example, fabrikam.com.
-
Under Identity provider claims mapping, select the following claims:
- User ID: sub
- Display name: name
- Given name: given_name
- Surname: family_name
- Email: email
-
Select Save.
- In your Azure AD B2C tenant, select User flows.
- Click the user flow that you want to add the Azure AD B2C identity provider.
- Under the Social identity providers, select Fabrikam.
- Select Save.
- To test your policy, select Run user flow.
- For Application, select the web application named testapp1 that you previously registered. The Reply URL should show
https://jwt.ms. - Select the Run user flow button.
- From the sign-up or sign-in page, select Fabrikam to sign in with the other Azure AD B2C tenant.
If the sign-in process is successful, your browser is redirected to https://jwt.ms, which displays the contents of the token returned by Azure AD B2C.

You need to store the application key that you created earlier in your Azure AD B2C tenant.
- If you have access to multiple tenants, select the Settings icon in the top menu to switch to your Azure AD B2C tenant from the Directories + subscriptions menu.
- Choose All services in the top-left corner of the Azure portal, and then search for and select Azure AD B2C.
- Under Policies, select Identity Experience Framework.
- Select Policy keys and then select Add.
- For Options, choose
Manual. - Enter a Name for the policy key. For example,
FabrikamAppSecret. The prefixB2C_1A_is added automatically to the name of your key when it's created, so its reference in the XML in following section is to B2C_1A_FabrikamAppSecret. - In Secret, enter your client secret that you recorded earlier.
- For Key usage, select
Signature. - Select Create.
To enable users to sign in using an account from another Azure AD B2C tenant (Fabrikam), you need to define the other Azure AD B2C as a claims provider that Azure AD B2C can communicate with through an endpoint. The endpoint provides a set of claims that are used by Azure AD B2C to verify that a specific user has authenticated.
You can define Azure AD B2C as a claims provider by adding Azure AD B2C to the ClaimsProvider element in the extension file of your policy.
-
Open the TrustFrameworkExtensions.xml file.
-
Find the ClaimsProviders element. If it does not exist, add it under the root element.
-
Add a new ClaimsProvider as follows:
<ClaimsProvider> <Domain>fabrikam.com</Domain> <DisplayName>Federation with Fabrikam tenant</DisplayName> <TechnicalProfiles> <TechnicalProfile Id="AzureADB2CFabrikam-OpenIdConnect"> <DisplayName>Fabrikam</DisplayName> <Protocol Name="OpenIdConnect"/> <Metadata> <!-- Update the Client ID below to the Application ID --> <Item Key="client_id">00001111-aaaa-2222-bbbb-3333cccc4444</Item> <!-- Update the metadata URL with the other Azure AD B2C tenant name and policy name --> <Item Key="METADATA">https://{tenant}.b2clogin.com/{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com/{policy}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration</Item> <Item Key="UsePolicyInRedirectUri">false</Item> <Item Key="response_types">code</Item> <Item Key="scope">openid</Item> <Item Key="response_mode">form_post</Item> <Item Key="HttpBinding">POST</Item> </Metadata> <CryptographicKeys> <Key Id="client_secret" StorageReferenceId="B2C_1A_FabrikamAppSecret"/> </CryptographicKeys> <OutputClaims> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="issuerUserId" PartnerClaimType="sub" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="givenName" PartnerClaimType="given_name" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="surname" PartnerClaimType="family_name" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="displayName" PartnerClaimType="name" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="email" PartnerClaimType="email" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="identityProvider" PartnerClaimType="iss" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="authenticationSource" DefaultValue="socialIdpAuthentication" AlwaysUseDefaultValue="true" /> <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="otherMails" PartnerClaimType="emails"/> </OutputClaims> <OutputClaimsTransformations> <OutputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="CreateRandomUPNUserName" /> <OutputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="CreateUserPrincipalName" /> <OutputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="CreateAlternativeSecurityId" /> </OutputClaimsTransformations> <UseTechnicalProfileForSessionManagement ReferenceId="SM-SocialLogin"/> </TechnicalProfile> </TechnicalProfiles> </ClaimsProvider>
-
Update the following XML elements with the relevant value:
XML element Value ClaimsProvider\Domain The domain name that is used for direct sign-in. Enter the domain name you want to use in the direct sign-in. For example, fabrikam.com. TechnicalProfile\DisplayName This value will be displayed on the sign-in button on your sign-in screen. For example, Fabrikam. Metadata\client_id The application identifier of the identity provider. Update the Client ID with the Application ID you created earlier in the other Azure AD B2C tenant. Metadata\METADATA A URL that points to an OpenID Connect identity provider configuration document, which is also known as OpenID well-known configuration endpoint. Enter the following URL replacing {tenant}with the domain name of the other Azure AD B2C tenant (Fabrikam). Replace the{tenant}with the policy name you configure in the other tenant, and{policy]with the policy name:https://{tenant}.b2clogin.com/{tenant}.onmicrosoft.com/{policy}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration. For example,https://fabrikam.b2clogin.com/fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com/B2C_1_susi/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration.CryptographicKeys Update the value of StorageReferenceId to the name of the policy key that you created earlier. For example, B2C_1A_FabrikamAppSecret.
