Azure Active Directory (AAD)

AAD Overview:

Azure Active Directory (AAD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It helps your employees sign in and access resources, as well as secure and manage identities.

Key Features:

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Users can access multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification.
• Application Management: Centralized management of applications and access policies.
• B2B and B2C: Supports business-to-business and business-to-consumer identity scenarios.

AAD Configuration Examples:

1. Adding Users to AAD:

1. Go to the Azure Portal.
2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory.
3. Under "Users," add new users and assign roles.

2. Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO):

1. In Azure AD, select "Enterprise Applications" and choose the application.
2. Configure Single Sign-On with options like SAML or OAuth.

3. Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

1. Go to Azure AD > Security > Conditional Access.
2. Create a new policy requiring MFA based on conditions like location or user group.

4. Using Azure AD PowerShell Module:

        
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force -Scope CurrentUser
