The Microsoft Cloud Workshop: Hybrid identity course is designed to provide learners with in-depth knowledge about Integrating on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory to create a seamless Hybrid identity solution. Participants will explore a customer case study to understand real-world scenarios and design a proof of concept solution that addresses specific needs. They will then present this solution, gaining valuable feedback and insights.
During the hands-on lab, learners will actively integrate an AD forest with an Azure AD tenant, manage Authentication, Authorization, and access control in hybrid scenarios, and Configure application access. This practical experience solidifies the understanding of Hybrid identity management, preparing participants to implement and maintain Hybrid identity systems in their organizations, ensuring secure and efficient access management across cloud and on-premises environments.

To ensure that participants can fully benefit from the Microsoft Cloud Workshop: Hybrid Identity course and successfully engage with both the theoretical and practical aspects of the training, the following minimum prerequisites are recommended:
While prior expertise in these areas will be highly beneficial, the course is designed to guide participants through the necessary steps to design and implement a hybrid identity solution. We encourage all students with a foundational IT background and an eagerness to learn to consider this opportunity to enhance their skills in the evolving field of hybrid cloud identity management.
The Microsoft Cloud Workshop: Hybrid Identity course is designed for IT professionals seeking to integrate on-premises and cloud directories.
Gain proficiency in designing and implementing a hybrid identity solution to integrate an on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory, managing authentication, and configuring secure access for applications.
Hybrid identity combines on-premises identity management with cloud-based services. This approach allows users to have a single identity for accessing resources both within an organization’s network and in the cloud. It simplifies user management and enhances security by ensuring consistent application of access policies across all environments. Hybrid identity solutions are often implemented using technologies that synchronize user identity information between on-premises directories and cloud platforms, enabling seamless authentication and authorization whether the resources are located on-premises or in the cloud.
Integrating on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory involves linking your existing local directory services to Microsoft's cloud-based directory. This setup creates a hybrid identity environment, allowing users to access both on-premises and cloud applications using the same credentials. It enhances security and simplifies user management by maintaining a common identity across environments. This integration uses technologies such as Azure AD Connect to synchronize user data and sign-in information, providing seamless user experiences and secure access management across your organization's IT infrastructure.
An Active Directory (AD) forest is a collection of one or more domain networks within a Microsoft AD environment. Each forest acts as the top-level container that holds and organizes all directories, resources, and configurations under a single security boundary. Domains within the forest can share configurations and security policies but maintain different data stores. This structure helps large organizations manage and secure user access to various resources efficiently across multiple domains. The forest structure enables easier administration and management of identities and systems within a large network.
An Azure AD tenant is a specific instance of Azure Active Directory, which is a cloud-based service from Microsoft that provides identity and access management capabilities. Essentially, it's a directory service that enables organizations to manage user identities, credentials, and permissions for various cloud applications. Each tenant is dedicated to a single organization and works as the identity layer for that organization's users, allowing secure sign-ins and access to resources. It supports hybrid identity solutions, smoothly integrating with existing on-premise directories to ensure consistent management across environments.
Authentication is a security process that verifies whether someone or something is who or what it claims to be. This is crucial in managing access to systems and data. For instance, when you log into a computer or online account, you typically enter a username and password. These credentials are checked by the system to confirm your identity. Successful authentication grants access while failing to verify keeps the system secure from unauthorized users. This concept also extends to technologies ensuring that both users and devices can be trusted in digital communications.
Authorization is a security process that determines whether a user or system has the necessary permissions to access specific resources or perform certain actions. It comes after authentication (verifying identity) and ensures that each user can only access the information and functions that are appropriate for their role or status. In essence, it's about granting or denying rights to users to access different levels of data or perform tasks within a system, based on pre-defined policies and rules. This is crucial for maintaining security and data integrity within any organization or IT environment.
Configuring application access involves setting up permissions and protocols that define who can use a specific application and what actions they can perform within it. This process ensures that only authorized users can access the application, protecting sensitive information and maintaining operational integrity. It includes managing user identities, possibly integrating hybrid identity systems where on-premise and cloud-based identities are combined for seamless access across different platforms. Effective access configuration supports both security and user convenience, fostering efficient and safe usage of software resources across an organization.
