The document discusses the Windows Azure Pack (WAP) and its authentication processes, focusing on Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD), multi-factor authentication, and Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS). It details the out-of-the-box authentication mechanisms, user synchronization, and integration with external identity providers. The conclusion emphasizes the flexibility of WAP and recommends utilizing Azure's various authentication features for enhanced security.

 Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 Introduction to MAAD
 Azure Active Directory Synchronization Services
 Multi-factor authentication
 Active Directory Federation Service
 ADFS with external identity providers

3. Introduction

4. Windows Azure Pack – CloudOS vision

6. Windows Azure Pack - Authentication
 WAP => .Net Repository
 WAP => Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 WAP => MAAD with Multi-Factor Authentication
 WAP => ADFS -> On premise Active Directory
 WAP => ADFS -> Azure ACS -> Facebook, Twitter, …

7. Out of the box Authentication Process

8. Windows Azure Pack - Authentication
 WAP => .Net Repository
 WAP => Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 WAP => MAAD with Multi-Factor Authentication
 WAP => ADFS -> On premise Active Directory
 WAP => ADFS -> Azure ACS -> Facebook, Twitter, …

9. Default Authentication Process
 Users have to be provisioned manually
 Users are not synced from another repository
 WAP is using a .Net Repository -> Stored in the SQL
=> Your tenants/users have to use and maintain an extra set of
credentials

10. Out of the box Authentication Process

11. Microsoft Azure Active Diretory
Introduction to MAAD

12. Windows Azure Pack - Authentication
 WAP => .Net Repository
 WAP => Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 WAP => MAAD with Multi-Factor Authentication
 WAP => ADFS -> On premise Active Directory
 WAP => ADFS -> Azure ACS -> Facebook, Twitter, …

13. Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 Identity and access management in the cloud
 Your organization’s cloud directory
 Used by
o Windows Azure
o Office 365
o Windows Intune
 Can be integrated with on-premises AD
 Integration with cloud applications
o Single sign-on experience
 App hosted in cloud
 Users authenticate with corporate credentials

14. Authentication Process
1 - User connects to a
SaaS Application
2 - User authenticates
to Azure AD
3 - Azure AD returns a
token
4 - Token is sent to
the SaaS application
5 - Application
validates token

15. Microsoft Azure Active Diretory
Synchronization

16. Synchronization
 Synchronize users from On-Premise to Online
 User Management is done on-prem
 Password Synchronization
o A digest of the Windows Active Directory password hash is used for the transmission
between the on-premises AD and Azure Active Directory.
o The digest of the password hash cannot be used to access resources in the customer's on-
premises environment.
 Users have 1 set of credentials across on-prem and online
o But 2 accounts

17. AAD Sync Services tool reached RTM
 ADD Sync Services is now RTM
o Self Service Password Reset write back to Windows AD
o Multi-forest identity synchronization
o Download: http://www.microsoft.com/en-

o Documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/azure/dn790204.aspx
 DirSync / AAD Sync / FIM Tools Feature Comparison :

18. Azure Active Directory and WAP
User connects to a
SaaS Application
User authenticates
to Azure
Azure AD returns a
token
Token is sent to the
SaaS application
Application
validates token
User connects to to Windows Azure Pack Portal
User is redirected to Azure AD Authentication Portal
User authenticates with Username and Password
Azure Authentication redirects to Windows Azure Pack Portal
User is authenticated in Windows Azure Pack Portal

 WAP => .Net Repository
 WAP => Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 WAP => MAAD with Multi-Factor Authentication
 WAP => ADFS -> On premise Active Directory
 WAP => ADFS -> Azure ACS -> Facebook, Twitter, …

22. Multi-Factor Authentication

23. Multi-Factor Authentication
 Could be enable in Azure Active Directory
 Authentication Process
o Text Message (SMS)
o Automated Phone Call
o Multi-Factor Authentication Apps (IOS, Android and WP)
 Two billing options
o Per User
o Per Authentication

24. Multi-Factor Authentication

25. Active Directory Federation Service

26. Windows Azure Pack - Authentication
 WAP => .Net Repository
 WAP => Microsoft Azure Active Directory
 WAP => MAAD with Multi-Factor Authentication
 WAP => ADFS -> On premise Active Directory
 WAP => ADFS -> Azure ACS -> Facebook, Twitter, …

27. Active Directory Federation Service
 Authenticate users on third party systems
o Another Company’s extranet
o Service hosted by a cloud provider
 Federate identity management between partner
organizations
 Claims based authorization
 User Authentication
o Form-base authentication
o Windows Integrated Authentication

28. ADFS, on premise AD and WAP
User connects to a
SaaS Application
User authenticates
to ADFS - AD
ADFS returns a
token
Token is sent to the
SaaS application
Application
validates token
User connects to to Windows Azure Pack Portal
User is redirected to ADFS Authentication Portal
User authenticates with on premise Username and Password
ADFS Authentication Portal redirects to WAP Portal
User is authenticated in Windows Azure Pack Portal

29. Active Directory Federation Service
