In all our previous posts we had the user sign-up flow take control of the actual creation of the user in Azure AD. The problem with that flow is that if we want to add the user to a group or perform other functions on it (like adding additional attributes) we would have to reply […]
In the previous two posts I explained how to connect External Identities to a Logic App. This allows us to define advanced workflows for signing up external users. The power of Logic Apps is virtually unlimited and the built-in connectors can help us with lots of things. I created a logic app that adds the […]
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 […]
Let’s say you have an application that you want your vendors to access. If this application is Azure AD joined you could create a separate account, you could invite them as a guest using their email address, you can even add their domain name as a connected organization, or you could use external identities. That […]
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 […]
In earlier posts I talked about using F5 as a reverse proxy to Kerberos based resources using Azure AD authentication. This post takes it a step further. Creating an SSL VPN based on Azure AD identities with Conditional Access (if needed). So, the architecture: As you might have seen, there is no Active directory in […]
When deploying Windows Virtual Desktop in Azure you can use all the administrative credentials you can find as per the guide. But what if you are in a more “regular” environment where you don’t have “Domain Admin” and “Global Admin” permissions? In that case, you follow this post where we will look at who needs […]
In my previous post I talked about FIDO2 keys from FEITIAN and how to register them. One of the points for registration was that you need to sign-in with MFA to register your FIDO2 key. But what if your users do not want that, or cannot do that? To the rescue comes ENSURITY. They have […]
Microsoft is on a quest to remove passwords. While this will be a long journey it is worth the effort. Passwords are weak as people tend to reuse their passwords on various sites and/or websites don’t do enough to protect them. And so, accounts are breached almost on weekly basis, and many passwords are “known” […]
