Role of Entra ID

Entra may own enterprise identity, app assignment, and provisioning intent for Microsoft-centered environments.

Supported operations

Use SCIM Users and Groups patterns after tenant-specific validation. Treat SSO and provisioning details as deployment-specific until verified.

Authentication model

Use scoped SCIM credentials and provider-side app configuration. Do not reuse operator credentials or broad directory secrets.

Rollout guidance

  1. Validate attribute mapping and immutable identifiers.
  2. Run dry-run reconciliation against FreeIPA / LDAP.
  3. Test deprovisioning with non-privileged accounts.
  4. Record limits and unsupported transformations.

Known limits

This page intentionally uses integration-ready language until a deployment verifies Entra tenant behavior end to end.
