Azure Active Directory External Identities is a robust authentication solution designed to manage and secure access to applications for external users such as partners, suppliers, and customers. It integrates with Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to provide a seamless identity and access management experience for external identities. The platform allows organizations to extend their internal authentication policies to external users, ensuring secure and controlled access to enterprise applications without compromising on user experience. Key features include single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and conditional access, which help ensure that external users access only the resources they need. Azure AD External Identities also supports social logins, allowing external users to authenticate using their social media accounts, reducing friction and simplifying the registration process. With deep integration into Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem, it ensures security, compliance, and scalability while enhancing collaboration with external stakeholders.
