SCIM provisioning - custom app authentication
Hi, in the documentation for https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-provisioning/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups#handling-endpoint-authentication, two methods are given: 1) a "long-lived token" (i.e. a secret key that has to be pasted in-clear by the admin) 2) "Microsoft Entra bearer token" - similar to other services (e.g. callbacks for MS Teams bots), Microsoft sign the outgoing calls, and the app being provisioned can validate them against Microsoft's public keys To me, option (2) is by far the best - each message is signed individually, there is no manual handling of secrets etc. As said in the documentation - "Apps that use Microsoft Entra ID as an identity provider can validate this Microsoft Entra ID-issued token." - great! So why on earth does it then say "The token generated by the Microsoft Entra ID should only be used for testing. It shouldn't be used in production environments." ? Why not? The whole system of Entra bearer tokens is only for test? And production should go back to secret keys, with all the problems they have? It doesn't seem right.. What am I missing here?Upcoming improvements to the Azure AD sign-in experience
We’d like to give you an early heads up on some visual design updates that are coming to the Azure AD sign-in experience. Customers gave us a LOT of feedback last time we updated the sign-in. It was clear that you wanted us to provide more notification, earlier in the process with more information. We’ve learned and this time we’re giving you more time and info than ever before. Our next set of changes aims to reduce clutter and make our screens look cleaner. A visually simpler UI helps users focus on the task at hand – signing in. This is solely a visual UI change with no changes to functionality. Existing company branding settings will carry forward to the updated UI. There will be no change to SSO or "Keep me signed in functionality". Read more about the changes in the https://aka.ms/y4s53u.Using AzureAD Join to rebuild my PC in under an hour
Hi Everyone! I just wrote a new blog post on how I use Microsoft 365 (specifically Azure AD Join) to rebuild my PC in under an hour and a little bit about my workstyle that allows me to do this and would like to share with the community. If you have feedback or questions or ideas on things I should add - please let me know!

Azure Active Directory Connect version 1.1.561.0 was just released and it greatly expands the scope by which AAD Connect will automatically upgrade. AAD Connect automatically checks for new builds ever since version 1.1.105.0, but some previous configurations have been unable to auto-upgrade due to customization. Examples include using a defined service account instead of the default account and AAD Connect staging mode installations, but their are many more new scenarios. Don't be surprised by unexpected upgrades now that this new version has been released. Read more here...How to stop disabled user accounts from syncing with Azure AD Connect
Hello again, I was experimenting these days using Azure AD Connect, the tool that let's you synchronize your on-premises AD accounts to Azure AD. So I thought: what happens when you have some disabled user accounts in your on-premises AD environment? Do you really need them to synchronize? Probably not. So we'll see what you have to do in case you don't want to bring up to Azure AD your disabled user accounts. Please read the rest of the article here.
