How Adaptive works with Azure Active Directory

Use Azure Active Directory as an identity provider with Adaptive to enable SSO-based access control across all your infrastructure resources.

Use Azure Active Directory with Adaptive to give employees, contractors and infrastructure operators a governed workflow for Adaptive-managed infrastructure and applications. Instead of relying on separate Adaptive passwords and unmanaged local identities, teams get identity-aware controls and a connected record for review.

Adaptive uses the corporate identity from your provider to authenticate users and attribute subsequent resource requests and sessions.

Every request is evaluated against access policies evaluated against the signed-in corporate identity. Teams can then use evidence covering authenticated access requests and infrastructure sessions without piecing together identity, approval and resource records from separate systems.

Access controls

What Adaptive adds to Azure Active Directory

Use corporate identities

For Azure Active Directory, authenticate users through the identity provider your organization already manages instead of creating another password.

Consistent access policy

For Azure Active Directory, evaluate infrastructure requests against a verified identity before granting time-bound resource access.

End-to-end attribution

For Azure Active Directory, connect each approval and privileged session to the corporate identity that initiated it.
