  Above process is little bit tedious because user need to sign-in and sign-out frequently.
  Limitation:  If Microsoft user email address and office 365 user email address is same then this process will get failed.

• Add Azure subscription to Active directory.
  
  Select your AD from dropdown.
  
  
  
  
  
• Now you can see URL will be changed according to your Office 365 AD domain.
