LDAP‎ in Azure AD for Office 365?

Question

We are looking for a way to set up LDAP for our company to use it as an authentication method on a third-party page. I see we have Azure AD for Office 365. Is it enough to set up LDAP? Or do we need to have some other package?

Hi @Alexey Gerasimovich

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

Azure AD is the common authentication and identity management backbone of Azure and Microsoft 365.

If you are using an on-premises LDAP you can activate the LDAP synchronization with Azure Active Directory

If you are using an On-Premises Active Directory, you should install Azure AD Connect on your server https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/whatis-azure-ad-connect

Azure AD Connect is an on-premises Microsoft application that's designed to meet and accomplish your hybrid identity goals.

You can follow these steps https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-express

If you are using a third-party authentication app, it will depend on what the vendor is that you are using, but most of the vendors support Azure AD.

Hope this helps,
Carlos Solís Salazar

Answer 3

Hi Alexy,

If I understand your question do you want your internal Azure AD Accounts to login into the client portal for Applications etc? If the answer is Yes then the client will need to configure and use Azure B2B for colloboration and authenticating users as guest accounts.

There is no configuration required from your side, you can continue to use your tenant Azure AD accounts.

The detailed article and step by step process is listed here.what-is-b2b

Answer 4

Hi

Generally it is correct. We would like to use our internal accounts to login into the client portal. The problem is there is no such option as using Azure B2B, they can do our connection only through LDAP. And I just don't understand if I can configure LDAP on our side with our current subscription.

Answer 5

Hi,

So what is this client portal and where it is hosted? The only way collaboration can work is by some sort of integration and Azure B2B provides that feature, also you can use ADFS as this allows to setup the Identity and access to the applications.ad-fs-overview

If you have user accounts you already have Azure AD and if you need to understand in detail please check this auth-ldap
