👉 Microsoft Entra in Action: From Conditional Access to Identity Protection
One of the areas I’m most passionate about is identity-driven security. Microsoft Entra makes it possible to apply Zero Trust principles directly at the identity layer. ⚡ Conditional Access – the backbone of modern access policies. 👤 Privileged Identity Management (PIM) – ensuring just-in-time, least privilege for admins. 🛡️ Identity Protection – risk-based policies to stop compromised sign-ins in real time. In my labs, I’ve seen how these features transform security posture without adding friction for users. Coming soon: - Step-by-step breakdown of a risky user detection scenario. - A visual guide to Conditional Access controls for critical apps.

User Identities in EntraID - how to remove?
I have a user that shows up with multiple identities. No other users are like this and we believe its stopping him from logging in with his alias email address. When i run get-entrauser it returns the following under Identities: {@{signInType=federated; issuer=MicrosoftAccount; issuerAssignedId=}, @{signInType=federated; issuer=MicrosoftAccount; issuerAssignedId=}, @{signInType=userPrincipalName; issuer=OURPRIMARYDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com; issuerAssignedId=UPN}} Every other account just has this @{signInType=userPrincipalName; issuer=OURPRIMARYDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com; issuerAssignedId=UPN}} How would i go about removing those identies from that user? Struggling to find any info online.
employeeType attribute for Dynamic Group features
Dear Microsoft, I would like to suggest the feature of Dynamic Groups to support the employeeType attribute. As dynamic groups are used by features like Identity Governance Auto-Assignment policies and could be the base for Conditional Access Policies, this feature would be aligned with the Secure Futures Initiatives and the Conditional Access Policy Architecture implementation recommendation using various personas (Conditional Access architecture and personas - Azure Architecture Center | Microsoft Learn) as well as the Microsoft Recommendation not to use extensionAttributes for purposes other than a Hybrid Exchange deployment, as well as having Named Attributes for such important security configurations and Entitlement Management. Thanks, B
Defender for Identity Certificate Requirements
One of the required certificates for the MDI sensor to run is this certificate: Subject : CN=Baltimore CyberTrust Root, OU=CyberTrust, O=Baltimore, C=IE Issuer : CN=Baltimore CyberTrust Root, OU=CyberTrust, O=Baltimore, C=IE Thumbprint : D4DE20D05E66FC53FE1A50882C78DB2852CAE474 FriendlyName : DigiCert Baltimore Root NotBefore : 5/12/2000 11:46:00 AM NotAfter : 5/12/2025 4:59:00 PM Extensions : {System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid, System.Security.Cryptography.Oid} It expires in a little over 2 weeks. I still see it listed as required here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/troubleshooting-known-issues Does anyone know if that requirement will be going away and/or will the certificate be updated before this one expires? I haven't been able to find anything related to its replacement through my various searches so I apologize if this has been covered already. Thanks.Lighthouse - viewing CA configuration at-a-glance
Hi, first off - apologies if I'm in the wrong space. I really do not understand the community hub structure, and there doesn't seem to be one for lighthouse. recently came across our 2nd tenant this year that did not have any CA policies set. Assuming this was just overlooked during P1 purchasing or something. Is there a way to view CA status within Lighthouse for all tenants? We do not have the full granular admin setup - our customers are sub-tenants but only just. We have domain admins for each, but our personal accounts do not have Security Admin roles on them. Saying this because it locks me out of some Lighthouse features. But trying to find a way to check this easily. ThanksWarning: PIM disconnects users from Teams Mobile
I have been working with Microsoft Support on this issue for three months. Hopefully I can save others the trouble. Sometime around April 2024, I and my colleagues started seeing regular alerts on our mobile devices saying "Open Teams to continue receiving notifications for <email address>", or "<email address> needs to sign in to see notifications". Just as promised, after this message appears, we do not get notified about messages and Teams calls do not ring on our mobile devices until we open Teams. We eventually determined that these alerts coincided with activating or deactivating PIM roles. Apparently, a change was made to Privileged Identity Management in Microsoft Entra ID around that time whereby users' tokens are invalidated when a role is activated or deactivated. Quoting the Microsoft Support rep: "When a user's role changes (either due to activation or expiration), Skype AAD[?] will revoke existing tokens of that users. Skype AAD will also notify PNH about that token revocation. This is expected behavior and is working as designed. These changes were rolled out in Skype AAD in April/May 2024 which is since when you are facing the issue as well." Anyway, as far as I can tell, this change was not announced or documented anywhere, so hopefully this message will show up in the search results of my fellow admins who are dealing with this.
