Does sssd support direct integration to AzureAD?

[Spike White]

All,

Our org uses sssd for direct integration to our corp AD forest, which has
the std MS schema extension (RFC 2307bis IIRC).

Currently, we have some Windows builds running in the Azure cloud,
integrated via AzureAD.  I'm not a Windows engineer, so I don't know the
details of this Windows-based user authentication.  Other than it works.

Does sssd support direct integration to AzureAD?

I read this with great interest:
https://research.redhat.com/blog/engineering_project/integrate-sssd-with-azu...

So if sssd supports this, any sssd config changes required for AzureAD?

Hi,

currently this is only possilbe with the help of FreeIPA. See
https://freeipa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/workshop/12-external-idp-support.ht...
for an example with keycloak as IdP, but you can use AzureAD as well.

There is a chapter in the official RHEL IdM documentation at
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/htm...
too.

bye,
Sumit

Sumit,

Thanks for answer.

MS claims that adcli + sssd allows you to join an Azure AD domain
services.

Like I say, I'm not an AD expert.  Certainly not AzureAD.

It looks like that's for Azure AD DS - not 'pure' Azure AD.

(Azure AD DS is like AD DS but Microsoft host the DCs for you, so as far 
as your Linux system is concerned it's like "direct integration" with AD 
DS).

Sam,

Appreciate the clarification.  Makes sense now.
