Famly supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for user authentication, allowing integration with any OIDC provider. This guide focuses on setting up Azure Active Directory with Famly.

Step 1: Register the App in Azure

Create an app registration

  • In Azure Active Directory, go to App registrations

  • Click New registration

  • Enter a name (e.g. “Famly”) and click Register

Configure branding & authentication

  • Open the newly created App registration

  • Go to the Branding section and enter the home page URL:

    • https://app.famly.co

💡 If you're using white labelling, add the white label domain as the home page URL instead

Set up authentication

  • Navigate to the Authentication section

  • Click Add a platform → Web

  • Enter https://app.famly.co as the Redirect URI

  • Tick the ID tokens box

  • Click Configure

Add an additional redirect URI

  • Click Add URI

  • Enter https://app.famly.co/app-trap

💡 If you are using white labeling, add the white label domain in addition to the two Famly URIs

Generate a client secret

  • Go to Certificates & secrets

  • Click New client secret

  • Copy and save the Value immediately, as it won’t be accessible later

  • Set a reminder to generate a new secret before the current one expires

Step 2: Collect Required Information for Famly

To enable the integration, collect the following details:

  • Client ID: Found in the Overview under "Application (client) ID"

  • Client Secret: Copied when generated

  • Endpoint/Base URI: Found under Endpoints → "OpenID Connect metadata document"

The endpoint will look something like this:
​https://login.microsoftonline.com/c630ad49-3d5d-4692-9a48-74a5372c1b0b

Entering the details in Famly

  • Go to: https://app.famly.co/#/account/organization/<your-organization-id>/openid/createProvider

  • Enter the Client ID, Client Secret, and Base URI

  • Choose a Title (this appears on the login screen)

  • Save the settings

💡 Famly support can provide the correct organisation ID if needed

Updating the client secret

To update an expired client secret:

  • Go to the same settings page in Famly

  • Enter the existing Client ID and Base URI

  • Add the new Client Secret

  • Save the changes

Troubleshooting

  • Are you getting a “Not authorised” error when saving settings?

    • The required “Manage single sign-on settings” permission may be missing
