Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure and its Identity and Access Management is at the heart of Microsoft’s Software as a Service, including Office 365, Dynamics CRM, and Enterprise Mobility Management. It is an essential tool to master in order to effectively work with the Microsoft Cloud. Through practical, project based learning this book will impart that mastery. Beginning with the basics of features and licenses, this book quickly moves on to the user and group lifecycle required to design roles and administrative units for role-based access control (RBAC). Learn to design Azure AD to be an identity provider and provide flexible and secure access to SaaS applications. Get to grips with how to configure and manage users, groups, roles, and administrative units to provide a user- and group-based application and self-service access including the audit functionality. Next find out how to take advantage of managing common identities with the Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 and build cloud identities with the Azure AD Connect utility. Construct blueprints with different authentication scenarios including multi-factor authentication. Discover how to configure and manage the identity synchronization and federation environment along with multi -factor authentication, conditional access, and information protection scenarios to apply the required security functionality. Finally, get recommendations for planning and implementing a future-oriented and sustainable identity and access management strategy.

The first step is to create a new group called AAD DC Administrators; the group needs to have this exact name. Afterwards, you need to add your administrator account [email protected] to the newly-created group.

Add the admin account as a member of the group.

Creating a virtual network

When enabling Azure AD Domain Services, you will need to specify which Azure virtual network is being used. We use the name LeanoAzureNet and a 192.168.x.x/20 as the range to configure the network.

Please note that you must satisfy the following criteria:

  • The virtual network belongs to a region supported by Azure AD Domain Services. See the region page for details.

  • Ensure the virtual...
