How I can change the option of scim provisioning from automatic to manual in Azure ?
It is enabled only when there is no automatic Azure AD provision connector available
Manual provisioning means there is no automatic Azure AD provisioning
connector for the app yet. User accounts must be created manually, for
example by adding users directly into the app's administrative portal,
or uploading a spreadsheet with user account detail. Consult the
documentation provided by the app, or contact the app developer to
determine what mechanisms are available.

I'm trying to build an Enterprise App in Azure that will support SSO using OpenID Connect and User Provisioning using a SCIM API.
When I create the application using the OpenID Connect approach I don't have an option to enable user provisioning. If I do the Non-gallery approach I can enable user provisioning and test out my SCIM API. Am I missing something? Why is that option not available for OpenID Connect?
I followed this diagram to pick the correct SSO. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/plan-sso-deployment#single-sign-on-options
Then selected the "App you're developing" option in Azure.
Once I go to the Provisioning part the "Get started" button is disable:
BUT if I choose the Non-Gallery option when creating the application the Provisioning part is enabled and allows we to step through the wizard to wireup to a SCIM API:
According to Azure ad app-provisioning-known-issues -microsoft docs
If you create an app registration, the corresponding service principal
in enterprise apps won't be enabled for automatic user provisioning.
Your app needs to be in the gallery to have provisioning enabled.For
that You'll need to either request the app be added to the gallery, if
intended for use by multiple organizations, or create a second
non-gallery app for provisioning.
To get your app in the gallery, see how to-app gallery listing

You've already identified what works right now - non-gallery OIDC apps can't support SCIM provisioning today, so you'll need a second app. We're (Microsoft) looking to enable the ability to enable SCIM provisioning on non-gallery OIDC apps, but there are some security/privilege escalation issues that need to be addressed first.
We've been told by Microsoft support that Azure DevOps Services supports tenant restrictions. While we have tenant restrictions enabled on a number of other services, it does't seem to apply to DevOps. Not only can we still log in to organizations outside of our tenant, we can also log in to our own organization and, if our corp email is added as a user in that org, the organization also shows up. I'd expect that our users would be blocked from logging into or accessing any external orgs.
I'm a little confused about why this isn't just working as expected and despite them saying Azure DevOps Services supports tenant restrictions, I'm not finding much documentation to back that up.
Have you been able to migrate to Azure DevOps Services and ensure that your users are only able to access orgs within your own tenant? How?
Azure DevOps Service supports the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant policy to restrict users from creating an organization in Azure DevOps. This policy is turned off, by default. You must be an Azure DevOps Administrator in Azure AD to manage this policy.
Check following link for more details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/azure-ad-tenant-policy-restrict-org-creation?view=azure-devops
Notice:
This policy is supported only for company owned (Azure Active
Directory) organizations. Users creating organization using their
personal account (MSA or GitHub) have no restrictions.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/policy-support-to-restrict-creating-new-azure-devops-organizations/
We finally received a more concrete answer to this question from Premier Support. Sounds like this wasn't entirely clear internally either. Azure DevOps Services supports TRv1 which provides tenant restrictions from client to proxy, but does not support TRv2 tenant restrictions which provides server to server restrictions. TRv1 will prevent you from authenticating against an org outside your tenant directly but does nothing to prevent the background authentication that happens if your account is configured to be able to access a secondary tenant's org. The server to server connection strips off the header information necessary to restrict you from accessing the secondary tenant. While this feature may be on their radar there is no expectation or firm timeline for it's release at this time.
We are actually looking to cover a solution from our jira platform.
We are using AZURE AD identitity management for handdling application catalog access.
Our goal is to automate the process of creating/adding a user into Azure AD from a Service Request issue from Jira Service Desk portal.
For exemple :
1- user submit a request from Jira Service Desk in order to have access to Confluence and RunDeck application
2 - The process should add automatically the user to the proper group in AD which then will have access to the application.
Does anyone have a solution how to approach this use case ?

Inbound Provisioning from Atlassian Jira to Azure AD is currently not supported. You can, however, voice your interest in such a feature or support similar ones in the Azure AD Feedback Forum.
Also, you can use the Graph API to automate user creation. Once a service request is complete, you can invoke the API for user creation from within Jira.
Is it possible to enable multi-factor authentication for getting access to the Azure portal, https://portal.azure.com?
I know there is an MFA server resource in Azure itself, but my understanding is that this is for Azure hosted applications/resources. I initially want to enable MFA for getting access to the portal itself, before setting it up for the different resources themselves in Azure.
Yes, you can.
For example here they say
Add protection for Azure administrator accounts
Multi-Factor Authentication adds a layer of security to your Azure administrator account at no additional cost. When turned on, you need to confirm your identity to spin up a virtual machine, manage storage, or use other Azure services.
Here is one of step-by-step guides.
UPD Feb 2019
Azure is constantly evolving, so many answers and related articles quickly become outdated.
As it is now, MFA is not a free option. I would start reading this Microsoft page for details, in particular:
Multi-Factor Authentication comes as part of the following offerings:
Azure Active Directory Premium licenses
Azure MFA Service (Cloud)
Azure MFA Server
Multi-Factor Authentication for Office 365
Azure Active Directory Global Administrators
EDIT:
The feature I originally mentioned has been replaced by Security Defaults, which includes requiring that all users register for MFA (but non-admin users don't necessarily have to use it), and requires admin users to use MFA.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults
Old response:
There is currently a feature in preview offering a baseline policy to apply MFA to the Azure Portal (and PowerShell and CLI).
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/concept-baseline-protection#require-mfa-for-service-management-preview
This is applicable even at the free level of AAD.
I currently have an Office 365 tenant with around 1,400 users all licensed. We have enabled the Azure AD tenant with the same account and are now using Azure AD Dirsync to have same sign-on to Office 365.
We are now having an external Sharepoint site developed and have been offered either ADFS or Azure AD ACS as an authentication method. As we've already got an Azure AD subscription (through Office 365) I thought this would be the easiest method. However, when in my tenant on https://manage.windowsazure.com, I have access to Active Directory, can add a new directory but cannot add a new Access Control service. It's greyed out and says "not available" underneath.
I've tried talking to Office 365 support, who referred me to Azure support, who then said we don't have support so can't help. I've spoken to Azure sales and they've referred me to Azure support, who then guess what, said we don't have support.
Has anyone else managed to implement an Azure Access Control service from an Office 365 tenancy using the free Azure Active Directory subscription? I get the feeling I just need to buy a cheap Azure subscription and the option would become available, but without knowing for sure I'm a bit hesitant about taking the plunge.
Thanks.
I can imagine that you cannot use the free Azure subscription for this purpose because using the Access Control Service brings costs. The free subscription is not tied to any creditcard. When you have e.g. a pay-as-you-go subscription you should be able to create a ACS namespace. I just tried in one of my pay-as-you-go subscriptions.
You are (still) able to create a namespace but I suggest you to also take a look into the identity possibilities Azure AD itself has. Azure AD has currently only support for SAML 2.0 (and a lot of other protocols but they are not directly relevant for SharePoint). I know SharePoint (on-premises) only talks SAML 1.1 so that's where ACS comes in. You can read more about this topic here. Azure AD itself is going to support SAML 1.1. The only question is when. (see one of the comments from the source mentioned below this answer)
I also would make one remark about Azure AD ACS because this is going to be replaced by Azure AD. The only question left is when.
ACS Capabilities in Azure AD
As we've mentioned previously, we are adding ACS-like capabilities into Azure AD. In the coming months, as part of a feature preview Azure AD administrators will be able to add federation with social identity providers, and later custom identity providers to Azure AD. This will allow app developers to use Azure AD to simplify the identity implementation in their apps, similar to how developers use ACS today. We look forward to getting your feedback on the preview to improve these experiences.
Migrating ACS Customers to Azure AD
Once these new ACS capabilities of Azure AD are out of preview and generally available, we will start migrating ACS namespaces to use the new Azure AD capabilities.
Source: The future of Azure ACS is Azure Active Directory
Quick solution:
Create an Azure paid account. Add the administrator user of the paid account in the Office 365 directory, and set it as global administrator of this later directory (you can add users from other directories).
Then switch back to the paid account. The new global administrator will be able to manage the Office 365 directory and add a namespace.
