Working with Azure AD
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. It allows access to external (Azure portal) and internal resources (corporate appliances). Azure AD manages your cloud and on-premise applications and protects user identities and credentials.
When you subscribe to Azure AD, it automatically creates an Azure AD tenant. After the Azure AD tenant is created, register your application in the App Registrations module. This acts like an end-point for the appliance to connect to the tenant.
Using the Azure AD configuration tool, you can:
- Enable the Azure AD Authentication and manage user access to the appliance.
- Import the required users or groups to the appliance, and assign specific roles to them.
