Azure Active Directory

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s multi-tenant, cloud-based directory,
and identity management service that combines core directory services, application access
management, and identity protection into a single solution.

Azure AD also offers a rich, standards-based platform that enables developers to deliver
access control to their applications, based on centralized policy and rules.

 For IT admins. Azure AD provides a more secure solution for your organization through
the use of stronger identity management and single sign-on (SSO) access to thousands of
cloud-based SaaS apps and on-premises apps. Through these apps, you'll also get
cloudbaseda pp security, seamless access, enhanced collaboration, and automation of the
identity lifecycle for your employees, helping to increase both security and compliance.

Additionally, with just four clicks, you can integrate Azure AD with an existing
Windows Server Active Directory, letting your organization use your existing onpremises
identity investments to manage cloud-based SaaS app access.

 For app developers. Azure AD lets you focus on building your apps by letting you integrate
with an identity management solution that's used by millions of organizations around the
world.

 For Office 365, Azure, or Dynamics CRM Online customers. You're already using Azure
AD. Each Office 365, Azure, and Dynamics CRM Online tenant is actually an Azure AD
tenant, letting you immediately start to manage your employee-access to your integrated
cloud apps.

rely on it for your most critical business needs.
 Running out of 28 data centers around the world with automated failover, you’ll have the
comfort of knowing that Azure AD is highly reliable and that even if a data center goes
down, copies of your directory data are live in at least two more regionally dispersed data
centers and available for instant access.

used to create a service account and grant proper permissions.

After clicking Next, we will get to the “Ready to configure” page where you will be able to
verify that the settings are the ones you intended before we click the checkbox to start the sync
