Implementation scenario overview

After completing the next configuration tasks, you will see the rich functionality of Microsoft Azure in the field of identity and access management, starting with cloud identities. You can demonstrate the different capabilities in your own Microsoft Azure environment. The guidance will focus on the most essential feature sets to give you an idea about their capabilities. We will start to use the default directory, which we call domain.onmicrosoft.com for now, and will change it later to a custom domain name. Domain stands for your desired name like example.com , this is also used for the userPrincipalName of the users in this chapter, e.g. don.hall@doamin.onmicrosoft.com is represented in the chapter by my example domain called inovitcloudlabs. Be aware that this name will be visible in different applications, such as SharePoint Online and Skype for Business, to the end user. We recommend the company name without the company form, for instance, inovit GmbH would be inovit.onmicrosoft.com. Use a different name for your tests, so that the domain for a productive environment stays free. This configuration will be the base for all further scenarios in the book. For this reason, we use an Azure, Enterprise Mobility Suite, and Office 365 subscription to use all the available features.

The following figure shows the different main areas we will focus on in this chapter:

In the next section, we will start the configuration of the scenarios.
