As you might have noticed, the last few posts are all about identity and the so called Secure Hybrid Access solutions. This one fall under that same category and is not sponsored by, but I did get a test account from them…. Active Directory or any identity store is usually used as the primary source […]
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 […]
With the release of v16 of the Big-IP software, F5 has created a fully guided integration with Azure AD. This allows F5 administrators to publish their published services directly into Azure AD including assignment to the application to users and groups. This post goes over the step by step guide and shows you the field […]
In a previous post I talked about using F5 in front of an Header based application using AAD as the identity provider. While we managed to convert claims into headers, we did not yet integrate the capability of user roles into the equation. Perhaps your application uses “roles” based on headers and users are assigned […]
In many of my previous posts I talked about B2B users being replicated to your own AD for guest users to be able to login to your backend (Kerberos) applications. This adding of guest users to your AD can be done using my PowerShell script, the MIM guide from Microsoft – although it seems to […]
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 […]
