Connect your IAM solution – without another database – to your AD and Azure AD.
We offer you three practical options for an M365 connection:
Many companies manage user data in a hybrid environment, i.e. both on-premise
and in the cloud. In a Microsoft IT landscape, users are accordingly entered in
Active Directory and Azure AD (M365).
FirstWare IDM-Portal is an IAM solution that takes advantage of both worlds
and combines them with each other:
All user data and authorizations are managed centrally in IDM-Portal.
Entries and changes are updated directly and in real time in AD.
DynamicSync for Azure AD is a new tool for dynamic group management
in Azure AD. With DynamicSync, you can use your AD groups to create M365
groups. Learn more on our DynamicSync website.
You can also use PowerShell instead of AAD Connect to sync data to Azure AD.
With PowerShell as a multifunctional tool, many AD/AAD/M365 administration tasks can be simplified and automated. PowerShell allows individual configurations, such as:
When synchronizing, user data is maintained in IDM-Portal, written to AD in real time, and then automatically updated in Azure AD using PowerShell.
FirstWare IDM-Portal is an IAM solution with an integrated PowerShell provider.
If your user management is exclusively in the cloud, you can use the IAM Cloud Service
in IDM-Portal. The cloud-based service includes:
It is recommended if no AD is available, or has no compelling priority. All important data can thus be stored in the cloud without any problems.
The IAM Cloud Service can be integrated optionally into the IDM-Portal. Through a direct interface (GraphAPI), the data is written directly to the AAD. An assistance database is available as an additional fail-safe.
FirstWare IDM-Portal enables hybrid user and license management in a single interface. As an example, you can do the following:
You decide for all attributes in which directory (AD, AAD) the update takes place.
With IDM-Portal, non-IT employees can also take over the handling of certain attributes (RBAC).
Use Microsoft Teams in a more efficient way with IDM-Portal. Employees from organizational departments (e.g. department managers) can update their team’s team memberships manually or dynamically.
As an example, if an employee’s department value changes to “Sales”, they will automatically gain access to the “Sales” team.
