Configuring Azure AD for Authentication Integration

Modern authentication with Azure AD

 

With Modern Authentication, users authenticate with OpenID Connect against the customer’s own Azure tenant using a browser. This means that user accounts are centralized to the customer’s own Azure and are by definition subject to the already-existing security policies.

More details and step-by-step instructions on how to configure modern authentication with AzureAD are here: https://benemen.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/2392096769

Classic authentication integration with AzureAD

Classic authentication mode is maintained for backwards compatibility. All new deployments are done using Modern Authentication.

In classic authentication integration, user credentials are passed through the Enreach backend to Azure for validation.

To enable classic Azure AD Authentication integration for your organization, an Azure AD application must be registered to the customer Active Directory in Azure management portal. 

If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled on Azure AD, Enreach Datacenter IP Addresses (80.88.186.0/23) must be whitelisted. More information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-mfasettings#trusted-ips
