Adding endpoints using an Entra ID server

Adding endpoints using an Entra ID server

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

To add endpoints using an Entra ID 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 Entra ID server domain groups and subgroups. It lists subgroups as a flat list and does not preserve the hierarchy from the Entra ID server.
