We are using Azure AD Connect to sync users and passwords between on premise Active Directory and our Azure AD tenant for Office 365. This seems to work well except for when a Admin resets a password either in Office 365 or in AD. when this happens the password reset is never synced. this causes a problem where if and office 365 admin resets a password and requires the user to change it on next login, the user is never able to change their password because their azure ad password and local ad password are now out of sync and AD Connect will fail. The same happens when an admin reset a password in active directory. The password reset never makes it to Azure. Is this something that should work and we have it configured wrong? or does AD Connect no support admin resets of password?
If Office 365 Admin, reset the password, it changed in cloud, but if Azure AD Connect sync is enabled then password in on-premise AD will override the password to the cloud (for every 2 minutes), so the password which is updated in the Cloud is overridden by the On-premise password, then User will unable to sign in. To fix this Microsoft has introduced password writeback feature in the Azure AD Connect, which enable password sync from azure AD to on-premise AD. This feature cannot support before version of Azure AD Connect version 1.0.8641.0. Password can be reset via azure admin portal, but this functionality currently not supported in office admin portal. This will give you a key idea.

We are using signup/signin builtin user flow and want to combine the "forgot password" part into this flow though sspr https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/add-password-reset-policy?pivots=b2c-user-flow#self-service-password-reset-recommended
However, the sspr bottun unable to click in user flow property and show a line at the bottom "sspr currently unavailable to support combind local account", am I using the wrong account or APIM needs to do some conf?
I have searched a while and there is no similar case. Has anyone encountered the same problem?
Please check if below are the causes:
Note : In a sign-up and sign-in journey, a user can reset their own
password by using the Forgot your password link. This ability to
reset passwords only apply to local accounts in Azure Active Directory
B2C (Azure AD B2C) i.e; you can only reset your password if you
signed up using an email address or a username with a password for
sign-in .
In case of azure ad, users of SSPR requires one of the following licenses: Azure AD
Premium P1 or P2, Microsoft 365 Business, or Office 365. If you have
a hybrid environment, you also need password writeback into your
on-premises AD. In this case, you’ll need Azure AD Premium P1 or P2
or Microsoft 365 Business.
You may not be able to see password reset menu option if you don't have an Azure
AD license assigned to the administrator performing the operation.

How can I configure Self service password reset for AD users(not Azure Active Directory) in Azure? So that when the password expires the user can themselves reset the password instead of asking the administrator/admin to go to portal and reset their password.
Unfortunately at my company, we are facing the same dilemma our users thankfully have domain-joined laptops and just connect to VPN and change their passwords that way (not that's any use for you). You can check out a couple of open-sourced projects for hosting a website that users can go to and reset their password. You can also get a higher-tier subscription and allow them to reset their password via O365 as well.

I have Angular 9 client calling Azure Functions. I started off with msal-angular package using "implicit grant flow" for authentication, and that worked fine.
My client app registration in Azure has its Authentication set to "Accounts in this organizational directory only (Default Directory only - Single tenant)". I can't change this setting as the app will only be available to company users.
I'm using my personal Microsoft account with Gmail username (e.g.: user#gmail.com). This account is a "Guest" in Azure AD, so far, so good.
I'm moving away from msal-angular and implementing PKCE authentication flow.
I'm using angular-auth-oidc-client package. My stsServer and authWellknownEndpoint are set to https://login.microsoftonline.com/[tenant-id]/v2.0 (turned out to be the problem, see update at the bottom)
Here are the login scenarios I'm having issues with:
When I use my user#gmail.com, I get "unauthotized_client ..." error right after I enter my username
When I use my UPN (e.g.: user#gmail.com#EXT##our_ad_owner.onmicrosoft.com) I get to the password prompt, but my Microsoft password doesn't work. I understand why it doesn't work (that password has nothing to do with AD), but I can't figure out how to set AD password for that account.
When I try to reset my password in AD, it tells me that "user#gmail.com is a Microsoft account that is managed by the user. Only user#gmail.com can reset their password for this account."
Any help with setting AD password for my UPN would be appreciated. I would also like to know if it's possible to login with my actual email address, and not UPN.
UPDATE: The problem was with angular-auth-oidc-client setup, authWellknownEndpoint was set to https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0, after I changed it to https://login.microsoftonline.com/[tenant-id]/v2.0 it worked!
You get the first error because you are using https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0 as the authority. It treats your account as personal account rather than the guest account in your tenant. But your Azure AD app is configured as Accounts in this organizational directory only (Default Directory only - Single tenant), which is not supported for consumers (personal account). See the reference here.
So you should use https://login.microsoftonline.com/{your tenant id}/v2.0 as the authority. Then it will allow your user#gmail.com to sign in.
I have configured Virtual network gateway with Azure AD authentication OpenVPN SSL tunnel. While connecting via AzureVPN application using my office mail ID i'm not asked for MFA even though it is enforced by Administrator to ask MFA when ever a user logs in, plus i'm not even prompted for my password also. Why is this happening is it by design like this?
So If a User(AD Member) login from Azure AD registered, Azure AD joined, Hybrid Azure AD joined device they'll not be prompted for MFA since MFA token is already claimed(they'll be asked if token not claimed) if MFA is still needed then conditional access needs to be applied.
or Click on use different account so that new token is needed to be claimed and MFA is prompted.
Security reader role should be enough to access almost all the part of the this application.
I'm trying to enable the Multi-Factor Authentication on my Azure account, (To secure my access to the Azure portal), i am following the tutorial from here, but, unlike this picture :
I have no Enable button when I select my user:
I've tried to send a csv bulk request with only my user (the email address), but it says user does not exists.
I am trying to add MFA on the user william#[something].com when i'm logged with the william#[something].com MS account (i am the only one user, and i'm global administrator)
In the MFA management page, you can only manage/enable MFA for your own Microsoft Azure AD Accounts, including accounts creating in Azure AD or synced from your on-premise AD; not any Microsoft Account or accounts from other Microsoft Azure AD. As you said you're using a MS account, you surely can't see the enable button.
In Azure Classic Portal, you can easily see if it's a Microsoft account or a Microsoft Azure Active Directory account:
If you want to enable this for your Microsoft account, you need to use Microsoft service at here ,sign in and then click Set up two-step verification.
Follow steps afterwards, you'll enable Two-step Verification it for your Microsoft account.
Of course you can create a new account in your Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Type of User is: New user in your organization), then you can enable MFA for this new user. If you would like a Global Admin, you can click this user and assign user Global Admin role. So then later you can use this admin account for your management work.
