Azure Managed Identity

Introduction

Azure Managed Identity is a new Azure service that provides you with single sign-on capabilities. With Azure Managed Identity, you can manage multiple applications and services without creating new accounts. The first step when using Azure Managed Identity is to create a common identity. This is the account that your users access to sign in. When your users access a resource through Azure Managed Identity, they are not prompted for credentials each time. Instead, they are asked only once to sign in and this process creates a session cookie that persists across their interactions with your applications. The session cookie remains valid for up to 10 hours by default and can be managed by setting policies on the common identity provider (CIP). You can also configure Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) conditional access rules based on whether or not the user has signed into your resources through Managed Identity with out-of-scope directives such as 'sign-on' or 'admin'

Azure Managed Identity is a new Azure service that provides you with single sign-on capabilities. It allows you to manage multiple applications and services without creating new accounts, which makes it easier for users to access all of their resources in one place. This article explains what Azure Managed Identity is, how it works, and why it's beneficial for your organization.

How does it work?

When you sign up for the service, you get an identity provider (IdP) at no extra cost. The IdP allows users to access multiple apps via one account instead of having separate logins for each app or service they use. This makes life easier on users because they don't have to remember passwords or create new accounts every time they want access to something new--it's all handled through their existing credentials at their company's IdP.

The first step when using Azure Managed Identity is to create a common identity. This is the account that your users access to sign in.

A common identity is the account that your users access to sign in. The common identity can be created in Azure AD or any other CIP (such as Google). When you create a new common identity, it will automatically be configured for use with Azure AD as the default CIP.

To configure your managed service provider (MSP) to work with Azure Managed Identity, you'll need to set up some user credentials for each tenant that uses MSPs. These credentials are stored on-premises and used by MSPs when they access resources such as Office 365 mailboxes (or other services like SharePoint).

You can manage these credentials using either:

• The new Azure portal experience

• PowerShell cmdlets

When your users access a resource through Azure Managed Identity, they are not prompted for credentials each time. Instead, they are asked only once to sign in and this process creates a session cookie that persists across their interactions with your applications.

By default, the session cookie remains valid for up to 10 hours by default or until it expires if you do not renew it within that time period. You can manage the policies of the common identity provider (CIP) by setting them on the CIP itself or through policy-based configuration in your application settings.

It's easier than ever before to protect your organization's identity data by using the latest cloud technologies

Azure Managed Identity is a new Azure service that provides you with single sign-on capabilities. With Azure Managed Identity, you can manage multiple applications and services without creating new accounts. The service automatically signs users in to their preferred apps and services using the same credentials they use to sign in to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or other Microsoft identity solutions such as Office 365.

It's easier than ever before to protect your organization's identity data by using the latest cloud technologies like Azure Active Directory Premium, which includes features such as Privileged Access Management (PAM) 2.0 and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Conclusion

This is built on top of Azure AD and offers a simpler way for you to manage multiple applications and services without creating new accounts.
