About our sessions
Raymond and I will present two sessions:
You can't do Zero Trust with AD FS, learn how to leave it behind
Friday, November 15th, 2024 9:50 AM – 10:50 AM
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) has been the corner stone to many Hybrid Identity implementations, but increasingly it is becoming a burden for organizations that still depend on it. Often, it is insecurely implemented, incorrectly managed and improperly monitored, glaringly exposing the organization to information security risks.
In this session, we explain in which scenarios AD FS is still required and under what circumstances you can say ‘Goodbye’ to your AD FS farm. we cover the pros and cons of other Microsoft Cloud authentication methods, show how to migrate, and we show how to correctly remove everything AD FS-related so your organization can embrace Zero Trust with confidence.
Entra ID tokens: script authentication with the MS Graph
Friday, November 15th, 2024 12:40 AM – 1:40 PM
As the AzureAD and MSOnline PowerShell modules phased out, we're adapting to accessing Entra ID using the Microsoft Graph.
This session clarifies how to authenticate in new ways, focusing on app registrations, mg-* modules, tokens, and app permissions. We'll debate the need for app registrations, the advantages and drawbacks of secrets versus certificates versus federated authentication, and the practicalities of these methods. Attendees learn about federated authentication's applicability, Mg-* modules' authentication compatibility, and the functionalities of access tokens.
We share their first-hand experiences in developing scripts for this new authentication framework. Join us to gain insights and practical skills for a smooth transition to scripting with the Microsoft Graph for Entra ID.
