Mastering Identity and Access Management with Microsoft Azure

Building and Managing Azure Active Directory

Working with the several Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings such as Office 365, Dynamics CRM or Visual Studio Online requires well-managed identities and an excellent basic structure in the Azure Active Directory (AD) that builds the heart of these solutions. You, as an administrator, need to provide a stable identity and access management platform to manage these services. 

This chapter explains how to configure a suitable Azure AD tenant, which we use throughout the whole book to explore, understand, and configure the different features and functions in the field of identity and access management with Microsoft Azure. We start with the cloud-only components, followed in the next chapters by the hybrid identity and access management approach.

In this chapter, we go directly to the configuration and learn how to configure and...

Implementation scenario overview

After completing the next configuration tasks, you will see the rich functionality of Microsoft Azure in the field of identity and access management, starting with cloud identities. You can demonstrate the different capabilities in your own Microsoft Azure environment. The guidance will focus on the most essential feature sets to give you an idea about their capabilities. We will start to use the default directory, which we call domain.onmicrosoft.com for now, and will change it later to a custom domain name. Domain stands for your desired name like example.com , this is also used for the userPrincipalName of the users in this chapter, e.g. don.hall@doamin.onmicrosoft.com is represented in the chapter by my example domain called inovitcloudlabs. Be aware that this name will be visible in different applications, such as SharePoint Online and...

Implementing a solid Azure Active Directory

The first step we need to take is to get an Azure AD tenant. There are many ways to do this. You can start with an Azure subscription or use any other service from the Microsoft SaaS portfolio. The easiest way to get your solution to a working state is to start with an Office 365 trial subscription.

Open your browser and navigate to http://bit.ly/1RVpFXe. Subscribe to a free Office 365 Enterprise E5 plan:

Office 365 E5 trial request

Follow the registration process and define your user ID, such as admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com. We recommend using a nonpersonal ID, as shown in the next screenshot. Enter your new user ID and password. Your default directory will get the name you define behind the @:

First Global Administrator creation

Afterward, you need to prove your identity with a text message or a phone call and enter...

Creating and managing users and groups

In the next steps, we connect to our Azure AD and generate the test users and groups.

Start the Azure AD PowerShell console and connect to Azure AD by executing the following cmdlets and scripts:

$msolcred = get-credential
# Enter your global administrator credentials
connect-msolservice -credential $msolcred
C:\Configuration\HRExports\HRImportToAAD.ps1
Alternatively, you can also use connect-msolservice directly to connect without the use of a variable.

After starting the script, go directly to https://portal.azure.com with your admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com credentials. Select the users' section under your Azure AD. You should find the users from the HireUsers.csv file under the All users tab:

Azure AD portal user management

Open https://portal.office.com | Admin | Active Users, and you can see your users with active licenses in Office...

Assign roles to administrative units

To delegate tasks, we use the creation of administrative units (AUs) and assign roles for specific tasks. In this configuration, we generate an HR [AU] , and we assign the manager of the HR department with the role to manage user accounts in this scope.

Creating an administrative unit

First of all, we need to connect to our Azure AD with the PowerShell cmdlet Connect-AzureAD for the admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com user.

Use the following cmdlets to create the HR [AU]:

New-AzureADAdministrativeUnit -Description "Human Resources Users" -DisplayName "HR"

View the expected output:

Newly created administrative unit

Next, we will add the related users.

...

Protect your administrative accounts

In this section, we will use Azure AD Premium P2 PIM to protect an administrative account in a quick intro.

Open https://portal.azure.com as admin@domain.onmicrosoft.com to start the configuration.

Click All Services and choose the Azure AD Privileged Identity Management.

Now, we need to Consent to PIM to use the service:

Privileged Identity Management - enablement

You will need to verify your identity and provide your preferred security verification option, as you can see in the following screenshot:


Azure MFA onboarding
If you already use the Microsoft Authenticator App on your mobile device, you can also register the mobile app.

Finish the verification process and click Consent—proceed:

Consent to finish the initialization

Next, we sign up under Azure AD Roles, so that users can enable Azure AD roles. Click Sign up PIM for...

Provide user and group-based application access

In this section, we configure a typical workplace, which a user can access under the Access Panel UI (https://myapps.microsoft.com). We assign applications to users and groups to see the different capabilities. The steps don't contain all single sign-on or provisioning options. We will discuss these feature sets later in specific chapters.

Log in to https://portal.azure.com with your Global Administrator credentials and add several applications from the application gallery under the Enterprise applications section. After adding the applications, we assign the accounts, which are to be provided access.

Build a list of applications like the following, and assign all groups to access the applications, except the one with user provisioning:

Azure AD application management
You will note the differences in the format...

Password reset self-service capabilities

In this section, we configure the password reset capabilities of Azure AD to reduce support costs and 24/7 availability. We use no restrictions on the service and we require just one verification option to reset the password:

Password reset - Properties dialog to select the activation options

To verify the reset, we use several methods:

Password reset - authentication options

The next option we activate forces the user to register:

Password reset - Registration requirement and confirming choices

Next, we configure the related notifications.

Configure notifications

In this section, we configure the notifications options so that the administrator will be notified if anomalous...

Using standard security monitoring

In this section, we will configure and simulate some typical events that get reported in the Azure AD Monitoring section.

First, we configure a Password protection feature, Custom smart lockout. We set the value to 10 incorrect logins:

Azure AD password protection features

You should receive the following message if you provide a wrong password 10 times:

Locked message dialog

You can see the activity under Monitoring | Sign-In:

Azure AD monitoring capabilities

You can also test Sign-ins from multiple geographies with simulation software such as CyberGhost (http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_us). Another option would be to use an Azure Virtual Machine.

Log in with an account between geographic regions that are far apart, such as Europe and Asia. This requires a remote machine from your location and in a different time...

Integrating Azure AD Join for Windows 10 clients

In this section, we will configure the Azure AD Join functionality and join our first Windows 10 client to Azure AD.

We configure a maximum of five devices per user and leave the other default values:

Azure AD - Device settings

In the next section, we will join our client to Azure AD.

Join your Windows 10 client to Azure AD

Log in to your freshly installed Windows 10 client machine and go to Settings. Choose Connect in the Access work or school section:

Azure AD Join process dialog

We sign in with don.hall@domain.onmicrosoft.com and join the Windows 10 client to Azure AD:

Join actions overview

Click through the Next sections and finish joining the client. Afterwards, we will...

Configuring a custom domain

Under the Azure Active Directory | Custom domain section, click Add custom domain and complete the verification process to prove that you are the owner of the domain:

Actual configured domains

Add the TXT entry shown to your DNS zone to verify the domain:

Domain verification options

Click the Verify button on your Azure portal, and after successful verification, the new DOMAIN NAME will appear under DOMAINS. Choose the Make primary option:

Custom domain overview and configuration options (Make primary or Download the Azure AD Connect tool)

Open https://portal.office.com to complete the domain setup process under the admin section:

Office 365 setup wizard

Choose the custom domain to be used for email addresses:

Sign-in and mail options

The last step we need to take is to set the new UserPrincipalNames to the existing users. We do...

Configure Azure AD Domain Services

To integrate a legacy application based on Kerberos authentication in an Azure infrastructure as a service (IaaS) scenario, we configure Azure AD Domain Services. In this section, we configure the basic service and integrate an active example application:

Azure AD Domain Services creation

To start the configuration, we need to specify the DNS domain name, the Azure Subscription we want to use, and the name of the Resource group:

Azure AD Domain Services configuration

When enabling Azure AD Domain Services, you will need to specify which Azure virtual network to use. We use a range 192.168.x.x/20 to configure the network:

Virtual network configuration

Add the admin account and your test user as a member of the Azure AD Domain Services Administrator group:

Azure AD Domain Services Administrator group members

The summary should look like the...

Summary

After working through this implementation scenario, you will be able to configure and manage a suitable Azure AD tenant for the most important tasks. You will also be able to integrate Windows 10 and Office 365 to build a productive workforce for your users without an on-premises infrastructure. Don't worry if you missed some functionality. This was just a warm-up.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the identity synchronization needed to start with your hybrid integration and to provide the correct identity synchronization scenario for your requirements.

While Microsoft Azure (now renamed Microsoft Entra) has been around for over 15 years, I still come across many security and identity professionals who need help understanding fundamental concepts of Identity and access management as they pertain to Microsoft Azure. Interestingly, though, I see a common trend where the same professionals are well versed with its on-premise "cousin" Active Directory; maybe it is an age thing :-)Since there is a lot of excitement and activity around "Zero Trust" and Identity is a core aspect of Zero Trust Architecture, it is only natural for people to bring up Microsoft Azure as part of their identity discussion.Mastering Identity and Access Management with Microsoft Azure is a great resource; it will appeal to diverse audiences, from a system administrator looking for a practical hands-on guide to security/identity/cloud architects focused on architecting hybrid or cloud-only identity solutions using Microsoft Azure. Specifically, the Conditional Access and Data Classification chapters are of great interest and practical use.The book is an excellent resource for Identity Management Professionals.

If you took out all the screenshots from this book, I think there would be only 50 pages left with vague instructions that breeze through a light hands-on how-to of the various topics. There's little explanation of the tech and I don't see much learning happening with this format. I was hoping for something more organized than digging through Microsoft's online documentation, but I think the free online info would be the best place to learn this material.

The lab focus is nice although not sure if it is relativistic to what individuals can actually do from home and on the cheap. Otherwise the content was consumable and relevant. My big pet peeve here is I have noticed with a lot of Packt books and I have many, the quality of the proof reading is way off and there are tons and tons of typos peppered throughout. This I have noticed is a trend with nearly all their books. Typos and poor sentence structure in the sheer volume present in this book and many of their other titles reduces overall credibility of the publisher and the author.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
