In this lesson, we will explore the core directory services provided by Azure, namely Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Entra Domain Services. These services enable you to manage identities, authenticate users, and secure your applications both in the cloud and on-premises.
Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud-based directory and identity management service. It allows users to sign in and access resources in the Microsoft cloud, as well as custom cloud applications. It also integrates with your on-premises Active Directory to provide a seamless identity experience.
Key Features of Microsoft Entra ID:
Who Uses Microsoft Entra ID?
Integration with On-Premises Active Directory
If you have an on-premises Active Directory setup, you can integrate it with Microsoft Entra ID using Microsoft Entra Connect. This tool synchronizes identities between your on-premises AD and Microsoft Entra ID, ensuring a unified identity experience across both environments.
How Integration Works:
Microsoft Entra Domain Services
Microsoft Entra Domain Services provides managed domain services like domain join, group policy, LDAP, and Kerberos/NTLM authentication. It allows you to use domain services without maintaining domain controllers in the cloud.
