MFA
Multi-factor authentication

DC in Azure key considerations (7)
- 2012+ so healing can take place
- AD db and log on non-OS data disks, without caching
- Assign a reserved IP address w/in Az configuration
- Update vnet DNS to use Az DCs first
- make at least one Az DC a GC
- Configure Az DCs to not publish generic DNS records
- If multiple Az DCs, use an Availability Set
Federation pieces
- a Federation is created bt orgs out-of band (eg no direct communication bt orgs… no firewall ports, etc… all communication via web browser)
- Home STS (Security Token Service) generates token
- Resource STS and applications native to that federated org consume the token
- Result: users use home credential w/o exposing password to resource
WS-Fed
the sign-in protocol that defines the process of redirects b/t federation servers and claims-aware applications
OAuth
a type of sign-in protocol commonly used by applications
authentication protocol is used to…
request user credentials such as Kerberos, NTLM, certificates, MFA, or form-based
SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language - a type of token used with ADFS (but also sometimes a sign-in protocol)
types of Federated Applications (3)
- . Featured: supports federation and has APIs to create objects on the other side if req’d
- others support federation but manual actions are req’d to complete the relationship
- still others do not support federation, but use credential “stuffing” (netflix, hulu, etc)
