Altien wires Mike into corporate Microsoft logins
The fork swaps a single hardcoded login system for a switchable one, with Microsoft's enterprise identity service now a first-class option.
Altien rebuilt how Mike checks who's logging in. Where the original fork was locked to one login provider, this version lets a deployment pick its own - and the headline addition is support for Microsoft Entra, the corporate identity system most large organisations already use to manage staff accounts. For a firm or in-house team that runs on Microsoft, that means Mike can sit behind the same logins, groups, and tenants employees use for everything else, rather than standing up a separate account system.
There's also a built-in local login mode for development or air-gapped, no-internet deployments - useful for anyone with data that can't touch outside services. The work was done carefully enough to accept the various token formats different Microsoft setups hand out, so customers shouldn't have to reconfigure their identity setup to adopt it.
