Integrating Entra ID with PAS/Cloud Suite

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).

Microsoft 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 Cloud Suite currently supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). An external federated identity provider can be configured in the Cloud Suite (for Privilege Access) to use the SAML protocol. When a user initiates log-in,  Cloud Suite (PAS) 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 Microsoft Entra ID, and the user is authenticated and logged in.
