Azure Active Directory

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) now known as Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud-based identity and access management solution that provides a robust and scalable way to manage user identities, authentication, and authorization. As a critical component of Microsoft's cloud ecosystem, Azure AD enables organizations to securely manage access to applications, services, and data, both on-premises and in the cloud.

With features like single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and conditional access, Azure AD helps protect against cyber threats and ensures that only authorized users have access to sensitive resources. Additionally, Azure AD provides advanced tools for identity governance, risk detection, and compliance, making it an essential platform for businesses seeking to strengthen their security posture and streamline user management.

To integrate Azure Active Directory with Secret Server, follow these steps:

• Configuration Parameters: Learn about the various configuration parameters required for integrating Azure Active Directory with Secret Server.

• Create Azure App Registration: Set up an application registration in Azure to allow Secret Server to communicate with Azure AD.

• Configure Azure Active Directory Domain: Adjust settings in Azure AD to enable integration with Secret Server.

• Set Up Entra ID for SAML: Configure SAML authentication using Entra ID for secure access.

You can also enhance your password management and security by utilizing various Remote Password Changer (RPC) templates. These templates are designed to automate password changes and ensure secure access across different directory services. For more info see:

• Azure Active Directory Secret Template for RPC - a template designed for managing Azure AD account secrets, allowing for automatic password changes when a secret expires, ensuring efficient and secure password management.

• Entra ID Secret Template for RPC - a template designed for Entra ID accounts, providing automated password management and enhancing security by ensuring that passwords are updated regularly and securely.

• Microsoft AD Secret Template for RPC - specifically for Microsoft Active Directory accounts, this template facilitates the automatic updating of passwords, helping maintain security and compliance within your organization's AD environment.

Additionally, Active Directory Remote Password Changing (RPC) in Secret Server allows for the automated management of AD account passwords, ensuring they remain synchronized with Secret Server policies. For details see:
