About Single Sign-On with Microsoft Entra ID (formally Azure) Active Directory

Microsoft Entra ID AD’s single sign-on feature lets Ajera users log on to Ajera using their Windows usernames and passwords instead of using separate Ajera usernames and passwords. To set up single sign-on, an Ajera administrator must complete the following configuration steps, described in more detail in this guide.

Important Considerations Regarding SSO Model

Currently, the most common single sign-on model used by Ajera customers is to synchronize users and passwords to Windows Entra ID Active Directory.

An alternative method is to set up Windows Entra ID Active Directory to federate back to your local Active Directory via ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) to authenticate users via your on-premises Active Directory. With this model, you do not need to synchronize users and passwords to Windows Entra ID Active Directory.

Support for Multi-Factor Authentication

Windows Entra ID Active Directory supports multi-factor authentication.
