I am trying to set IS4 as Identity Provider.
The first thing I tried was to create a federation trust between Azure AD and the domain where I hosted my IS4. once federated by using the "Get-MsolDomainFederationSettings" command in PowerShell I got values for the following parameters:
I have found the following "solution", that also comes with this documentation, but it is a paid solution, and I am looking for a free option.
Should I use standard protocols, e.g. OpenID Connect, WS-Federation or SAML2p, and how can this be configured?
Based on the question and clarifying comments here the answer as of today:
You cannot achieve the required target architecture as of today. Today the only officially supported federation for Azure AD is ADFS over WS-Federation protocol and Ping Federate as preview. There is an official documentation describing the federation options with Azure AD.
There have been some tests in the past, but there is nothing officially supported beside the two options mentioned.
Looking at SSO, you can however look at the other side of the things:
You have IdentityServer and already some applications registered for it
You want SSO for Azure (O365) users to this applications
You can achieve what you want in the following manner:
You continue using Identity Server for your apps
You configure an external provider for your Identity Server as described here
What you certainly cannot achieve is:
Making Azure (Azure AD) authenticate users over Identity Server (at least not in a supported way!)
Azure AD can only be used as an endpoint as per #astaykov.
It can be an STS but it cannot be a R-STS i.e. it cannot be an intermediate step.
The solution described above is a paid solution because it uses the RSK SAML stack.
However, you could follow the same steps using the Sustainsys .NET Core option which is free.

I have a SAML 2.0 based Single Sign On working with Pingfederate, wso2 Identity server as well as ADFS. Its also working with Azure AD SAML 2.0 fedration. But I need to have my own setup to incorporate the recent changes by Azure on using multiple certificates for signing it responses which they claim to change dynamically.
Please point me to a quick setup resouce on this as I am new to Azure.

Your application may already be in the gallery (marketplace) in which case there will be a script or the latter provides instructions to do it manually via Enterprise applications.
We have an Azure AD tenant and on-prem AD and use AD Connect to keep them in sync. I'm told that I can leverage Azure AD to implement PAM on-prem but can't find any approach on how to do this, step by step. We also do not want to use MIM since it's already at EOL and would like to avoid using another 3rd party tool.
On-prem it is no problem for us to set up the second bastion forest but we don't know how Azure AD would be able to work with this.
Thanks!
MIM (formerly Forefront Identity Manager, and Identity Lifecycle Manager before that) is a widely used service for managing user lifecycles and access rights in Active Directory.Right now, it is moving into well-earned retirement phase.
In simple terms, yes. It is no longer actively developed by Microsoft. Mainstream support for MIM ended in January 2021. Azure AD Premium customers can get extended support until 2026.
The closest replacement is, Azure AD. It has a range of features that enable simple identity and access management for internal and external users.
Azure AD is the closest substitute. By adding third-party tools you can easily replace all of MIM’s features, and add many new ones.
Note these functionalities are only available at the Azure AD Premium P2 license level.

Or you can reach out to their MS support for information or predicagorup support as well.

I have configured the Azure AD Authentication for my asp.net core project using the services of "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.*" packages. The project is expected to be deployed to Azure App Service as a Web App.
While I enabled Azure AD authentication, I also see there is an option to enable the same at the Web App level through Application Settings on Azure Portal.
I have question around which option is recommended. I do see when I don't leverage Azure AD authentication configured via nuGet packages, I don't have OpenId connect service plugged into the StartUp.cs file. And I think these services are pivotal in populating the authentication properties like User.Identity.Name. On the other hand with just portal enabled authentication, I don't see this information populated. So, I presume if I want to do further work with logged in user's identity, like leveraging current claims information for authorization, I won't be able to achieve that with portal only authentication.
Your assessment is basically correct. The portal-enabled authentication runs completely outside your application and isn't capable of setting User.Identity.Name when using .NET Core (that level of integration only works with ASP.NET 4.x).
My recommendation is to use the ASP.NET Core NuGet package so you can get the full integration. It's a lot more work to set up, but once you get it working you should be in good shape and get the full end-to-end experience you want.
If you are interested in using the portal-enabled Azure AD authentication support, then take a look at this StackOverflow question to learn how you can get it to work with User.Identity.Name.
I'd working on creating a ASP.NET 5 web application and would like to use ASP.NET Identity to manage users. I'd also like to use Azure Active Directory in a multi-tenant configuration. As I understand more about claims, I expect we will eventually create our own custom claims as well.
I see ASP.NET Identity can configure providers (Facebook, Google) but is it possible to set up Azure Active Directory to authenticate with Facebook / Google and have it flow through ASP.NET Identity? My guess is that flowing through Azure Active Directory would make our subsequent migration to claims authentication easier.
If so, any pointers to setting this up and road bumps that may be expected would be appreciated.

Classic Azure Ad does not integrate directly with Facebook or Google, however the new B2C offer does. See http://aka.ms/aadb2c
I am trying to make my way through a lot of Azure documentation on multitenant identity management, for a bespoke ASP.NET MVC SaaS site. It is difficult as it seems that a lot of the online examples and articles are now outdated and not applicable to latest VS templates, and other vague aspects, such as determining what is Preview and what is not. Also, MS tend to use the word "multitenant" when specifically dealing with partner companies who have their own Azure AD, which is not our case.
Our proposed system will offer a web application to different customers. The backend will have a separate db per customer (tenant). The front end will select which db connection (and probably use impersonation) depending on the logged in user. The identity management would preferably be offloaded to Azure ACS, so that in future if we want to integrate with corporations with their own Federation identity provider we can, but for those smaller companies that don't have their own domain, we want to create accounts on their behalf.
I am thinking that a good way to do this is by using Azure ACS (for federating with corporate customers) and a general Azure AD directory (for everyone else), where in the second case I create a group per tenant (customer). Then, in Azure ACS, I translate all claims, either the group from my own AD, or the company name from the federated identity provider, and use that in the MVC app to establish the tenant.
Is this an OK way to do it? Am I overlooking some standard, simple way that Azure already offers? Is this future proof wrt to the Azure roadmap?
for the latest multi tenant samples please see https://github.com/Azure-samples?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=multiten. We are about to release more documentation on how to handle multi tenancy in Azure AD. I would strongly advise against using ACS in any new project, given that we are no longer adding any features and we are actively working on migrating functionality from ACS to Azure AD.
