I have an OnPrem webapp and need to grab the user db from AAD. my OnPrem app only supports LDAP. can I use Az ADDS to sync the user list from AAD to my webapp via LDAP? note: im not talking about user authentication.

I want to replicate how the onprem AD works in terms of syncing the user Db to my app with the help of Az ADDS.

    @Rick Juab
    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    Based off your issue, you should be able to leverage LDAP synchronization with Azure Active Directory (this has a cloud web app). This feature leverages AzureAD Connect rather than AzureAD Domain Services, but is used when you need to synchronize identity data between your on-premises LDAP v3 directories and Azure AD.

    I know you mentioned that you aren't talking about user authentication. However, the only article I found that leverages AzureAD Domain Services (AD DS) is our LDAP authentication with Azure Active Directory.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know.
    Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
