The users will always auth against their home tenant, so their access in the other tenant is really based on what access they have been granted in the tenant they are synced to. Their passwords are never an issue since they auth in only one place. They can change it and auth will still go back to the home tenant. There is no syncing or updating. There is only one source of truth for their identity. Hope that makes sense!
Cross-Tenant Synchornization - Does the same password sync across tenants for the user account
Hi,
I have a question, we are looking at setting up Cross-Tenant Synchronization, however i cannot find anywhere if it mentions about the same passwords being copied across to the other tenant.
When a user is synced from tenant 1 to tenant 2, do they still use the same password they were using in tenant 1 as they would now use in tenant 2? Or do they need to use a new password in tenant 2?
Our tenants are both internal but used for production and non-production hence the same password would not be a bad thing as its still all internal. If its not configured automatically, is there anyway we can set this up to sync it across?
Kind regards,
Ben
