Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AADDS)

 

Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AADDS)

                                AADDS is a service provided by Azure to maintain the legacy/on-prem applications on Azure cloud which can support only legacy/on-prem protocols like Kerberos, NTLM etc. This will work alongside Azure AD. Users part of Azure AD will be able to access the legacy servers using AADDS service. Users from On-premises will also be able to access the servers in Azure when you have done directory synchronization between On-prem and Azure AD using Azure AD Connect.

                                Azure AD DS provide one-way synchronization from Azure AD to the managed Domain. You can also control the synchronization either from ALL or Only cloud.

                                AAD DS is azure managed, and we can control the directory DB by creating a dedicated machine and adding it to the AADDS domain. 2 DCs will be created by Azure for resiliency.

In this example, I have already done the Directory synchronization between On-premises and Azure AD.

 



 

1.       Create a AAD Domain



 

2.       Create a AAD Domain Controller server

 

3.       Make AAD Domain server as the DNS server for AAD DC server/the whole VNET (By default Azure DNS server will be used)

 

4.       Refresh the ipconfig /renew

5.       Create an admin user and add a user to AAD DC Admin Group

6.       Add the server to the AAD Domain



Authenticate with a privileged user

 



 

7.       Add the AD following role in the server to manage the azure managed AD directory



 

8.       Below are the users coming from both On-prem and Azure AD

Users Bathir, Kathir are from On-prem

Managed Identity

 Managed Identity:     Managed identity is used to eliminate the need for maintaining the credentials like keys, secrets, certificates etc. Managed identity provides an automatically managed identity in Microsoft Entra ID for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Microsoft Entra authentication. Benefits of using managed Identities: 1. No need to manage credentials and not even accessible to us 2. can use MI to authenticate to any resource that supports MS Entra autehntication 3. NO extra cost Types: 1. System Assigned     a. created as part of an azure resource     b. Share life cycle with azure resources that the MI is created with.      c. Can't be shared with other resources 2. User-Assigned     a. created as a stand alone azure resource       b. Independent life cycle     c. can be shared with other resources Use cases: System-assigned - Workloads contained within a sing...
