Hi. Hybrid AD to on prem. A vendor we are trying to setup SSO with requires an IPSec tunnel to our on prem DC. After some back and forth, they cannot setup a compatible connection because they are behind a NAT and our vendor suggested using OpenVPN but they won't allow that.

Is it possible to setup an IPSec tunnel to our Azure AD? Does it require a VM? Hoping someone has a guide I can follow.

    If your on-premises network, has access to Azure - you can configure a IPSec tunnel to Azure.

    It doesn't need a VM but it does need a Gateway, Virtual Network etc and of course line of site to a domain controller.

    Can the vendor, not leverage AAD directly, without relying on AD - [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/what-is-single-sign-on?
