The Office 365 connector allows SigningHub to connect with Office 365 to authenticate users both at the time of login and at the time of signing. By using this connector, the SigningHub users can authenticate themselves by using their (same) Office 365 account credentials. For this, SigningHub needs to be registered with the Office 365 platform.
