In February 2022, we made an announcement of the public preview of Azure AD Certificate-Based Authentication as a part of Microsoft’s commitment to Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity .
The public preview process gives us the opportunity to get great feedback from folks who weren’t in the private preview. In this case, we got some great feedback and have added several important features to our existing public preview. Here are some great customer-feedback driven enhancements to Azure AD Certificate Based Authentication (CBA):
- Azure AD CBA support for Windows logon and Single Sign-On (SSO) to Azure AD applications and resources
- Azure AD CBA support for mobile platforms (iOS, Android) for accessing Microsoft’s applications on managed and unmanaged devices
- Improved administration capabilities for managing Trusted Certificate Authorities configuration in Azure AD
- Staged rollout support for CBA for easy and controlled migration from Active Directory Federated Server
