Adding endpoints using an Azure AD server

Adding endpoints using an Azure AD server

To add endpoints using an Active Directory (AD) domain server, you must configure add an Azure AD server to EMS in Administration > Authentication Servers. See Adding an Entra ID server.

To add endpoints using an Azure AD server:
  1. Go to Endpoints > Manage Domains.
  2. Click Add, then Azure.
  3. From the Azure Server dropdown list, select the desired server.
  4. In the Sync every field, enter the number of minutes after which EMS syncs with the Azure server.
  5. For Group Selection Behaviour, select Import Entire Azure Domain or Import Selected Azure Groups.
  6. Enable Import as Base Group for the desired groups, then click Save.

    Endpoints > Domains lists the Azure AD server domain groups and subgroups. It lists subgroups as a flat list and does not preserve the hierarchy from the AD server.
