Integrating Entra ID with the Delinea Platform

At the end of 2023, Microsoft completed the change of their product name from Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD or ADD) to Microsoft Entra ID (Entra or Entra ID).

Entra ID is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It provides authentication, access control, and identity-related services for cloud and on-premises applications.

The Delinea Platform currently supports two authentication protocols: Open ID Connect (OIDC) and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). An external federated identity provider can be configured on the platform to use either protocol, depending on what the provider supports and what you want to do. The Delinea Platform integrates with Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO) using federation service. When a user initiates log-in, the platform checks the domain name of the user ID. If the domain is configured for an external federated IdP, the log-in data is passed to Entra ID, and the user is authenticated and logged in.
