Azure AD is a cloud-based identity and access management solution from Microsoft. It is a multi-tenant, cloud-based directory and identity management service that provides authentication and authorization services to cloud-based applications, as well as other Microsoft services such as Office 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure. Azure AD is designed to provide a single sign-on experience for users across all their applications, whether they are cloud-based or on-premises.

Azure AD supports a wide range of authentication methods, including password-based authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA), smart card authentication, and certificate-based authentication. It also provides a wide range of security features, such as conditional access policies, risk-based authentication, and identity protection.[1]
