# Configure Device SSO for Windows - Azure VPN Client – Microsoft Entra ID authentication
18+
19+
This article helps you configure Device Single Sign On (SSO). Device SSO allows users to log into their devices once and use that authentication while using the Azure VPN Client on a Windows computer to connect to a virtual network using a VPN Gateway point-to-site (P2S) VPN and Microsoft Entra ID authentication. For more information about point-to-site connections, see [About point-to-site connections](point-to-site-about.md).
20+
21+
## Prerequisites
22+
23+
Configure your VPN gateway for point-to-site VPN connections that specify Microsoft Entra ID authentication. See [Configure a P2S VPN gateway for Microsoft Entra ID authentication](point-to-site-entra-gateway.md).
24+
25+
Make sure you also followed the necessary steps to configure the Azure VPN Client profile configuration .xml file with the custom audience and Microsoft application ID, as mentioned in [Configure Azure VPN Client – Microsoft Entra ID authentication – Windows](point-to-site-entra-vpn-client-windows.md).
26+
27+
## Workflow
28+
1. Once you downloaded your VPN Profile configuration package, open the .xml file with a text editor.
29+
1. Locate the `aad` section and set the value for `enabledevicesso` to be "true" for the aforementioned Windows Azure VPN Client profile:
30+
31+
```xml
32+
<aad>
33+
<audience>{customAudienceID}</audience>
34+
<issuer>https://sts.windows.net/{tenant ID value}/</issuer>
35+
<tenant>https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant ID value}/</tenant>
36+
<applicationid>c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8</applicationid>
37+
<enabledevicesso>true</enabledevicesso>
38+
</aad>
39+
```
40+
41+
## Next steps
42+
- Continue back in [Configure Azure VPN Client – Microsoft Entra ID authentication – Windows](point-to-site-entra-vpn-client-windows.md#modify) to import your profile settings and connect to Azure.

For Windows Azure VPN Client profiles, an additional field for Device Single Sign On (SSO) is enabled for ease of user authentication. Read more on [Azure VPN Client and Device SSO](../articles/vpn-gateway/point-to-site-entra-vpn-client-windows-device-sso.md).
