I have created an application which is having Windows authentication with my office/domain action directory. Now I want to move the application Azure, not sure how the authentication will work then or what changes will be required.
One solution is to create a Azure Active Directory (AAD), sync it with local AD and set up ADFS. Secure the application in Azure using the synced AAD.

I'm in the process of integrating the HR system and Active directory which involves creating new users, updating existing user attributes, and disabling users in AD.
We have an on-premise Active Directory and use the Azure AD Connect to sync the Azure Active directory. We also have a domain controller in Azure VM. I have checked with the (on-premises data gateway - logic app) and (hybrid connection - azure function) both don't support on-premise active directory.
Any idea or workaround will be helpful to connect on-premise active directory or Azure VM domain controller from azure functions/logic apps etc.
You can use PowerShell script to write attributes to the on- premises Active directory. If your HR database is SQL server that can be accessed via PowerShell script.
then sync on-prem AD to AAD
I am building a UWP app and .Net Core API. Both should be deployed at the customers' on-premises and authenticated with Azure Active Directory.
Is there a way to authenticate the users without registering the application manually (And specifying the client id and other variables)?
Is there a way to authenticate the users without registering the application manually.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s multi-tenant, cloud based directory and identity management service. You have need to register the application, if you authenticated with Azure Active Directory.
For ADFS, you could refer to AD FS Scenarios for Developers, and it also need to register app at first.
This isn't a specific problem question but a "cry for help".
My problem is this. Our organization is in the process of implementing Office365.
Until now there were tens of applications with their own authentication and authorization but in the process most of them will be rewritten to use within O365 environment.
We are facing the problem of creating one endpoint (ASP.NET WebAPI app) which will be used to authenticate a user with his credentials from Active Directory (or B2B AD on Azure because some apps are used outside) and tell if this user is allowed to use app that asked to log him.
I'm just wondering through documentations and sample code but can't decide what will be a good practice in this scenario. Should we just build each app and use Azure Active Directory provider to authenticate. Or is it possible to setup ONE api that will hold all apps Ids and its userIds - then it will check user credentials against AD and give app token/cookie...
My best bet is to try this: http://www.tugberkugurlu.com/archive/simple-oauth-server-implementing-a-simple-oauth-server-with-katana-oauth-authorization-server-components-part-1
But create Provider for AzureAD. But then its still question about this B2B AD part.
Please help by pointing to some up to date resources..
You should register each of your B2B application within your Azure Active Directory and configure them to use AAD as the Identity Provider.
Then you can administrate everything you want (e. g. which user has access to which application) within the Azure Active Directory blade from the Azure Portal.
You are getting this backwards. If you have apps integrated with Azure AD you don't have to create endpoint which will validate users right to use apps but you are assigning right to use an app in Azure AD. This is whole point.
I am a developer working on a think client application. One of our customers wants us to provide hosting for the application and I have set up azure remote app for this. The customer is asking if it will work with single sign on.
From what I can see it can work if I have access to their directory. For example if I could join their domain or change my default directory to be their directory it should work. Is this good practice though? From what I see the only way to do this is give their administrators access to my subscription.
Is there another way?
Azure Remote App offers two deployment options
- RemoteApp cloud deployment enables user logon with Microsoft account or corporate credentials federated with Azure Active Directory
- RemoteApp hybrid deployment enables full access to on-premises network, and user logon with corporate credentials federated with Azure Active Directory
So in both cases, you may have single sign on for your customer application, provided his current identity provider (for example On premise Active Directory) is federated with Azure Active Directory
Hope this helps

I realize there are other (preferred) ways of implementing authentication with Azure Active Directory, but is it possible to use the standard ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider with Azure Active Directory for an Azure website?
No. There is no way to use ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider with Azure Active Directory.
. (Period) :)
Why?
ActiveDirectoryMambershipProvider uses Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) server and talks to AD over LDAP protocol. Both of which are not supported by Azure AD. The replacement of LDAP in the Cloud is Azure AD Graph API.
You can however use the Claims Based Authentication / Authorization model and protect your web site with Azure AD. This will help with Authentication. Authorization - you can use the role based access control and have your Azure AD groups translated into ASP.NET roles.
Here is pretty long and well described process of how to protect a web site with Azure AD without writing single line of custom code.
