AZURE AD – EXTERNAL IDENTITIES (II) Logic Apps

First of all, I have a confession to make: I’m not a developer to the extend that I cannot write an API from scratch or any other application that isn’t based on pure PowerShell or VBS scripting. Which means integrating an API into External Identities is going to be a challenge for me. I wish […]

Azure AD – External Identities (I)

Let’s say you have an application that you want your vendors to access.

F5 – AZURE AD – ROLE assignments to Header based apps

In a previous post I talked about using F5 in front of an Header based application using AAD as the identity provider. While we managed to convert claims into headers, we did not yet integrate the capability of user roles into the equation.

B2B USERS & INTERNAL APPS – MIM deployment

In many of my previous posts I talked about B2B users being replicated to your own AD for guest users to be able to login to your backend (Kerberos) applications. This adding of guest users to your AD can be done using my PowerShell script, the MIM guide from Microsoft – although it seems to […]

F5 – AAD – HEADER BASED – EXTERNAL ATTRIBUTES

In earlier posts I talked about my favorite authentication protocol ‘Kerberos’, but obviously there are many more authentication protocols such as HEADER based authentication. While we won’t be sending the password of users straight to the backend webserver we can send additional information. Azure AD App Proxy in combination with Ping Access can already do […]
