OpenIAM | Solutions for Entra ID

Your business lives in two worlds.

Part of it runs in the cloud, SaaS apps, Microsoft 365, and everything Entra ID protects. The rest is still on-prem, legacy systems, custom applications, and the tools you can’t just lift and shift overnight.

Your users don’t care where the app lives. They just want to sign in once and get to work. Your security team wants control. Your auditors want proof.

OpenIAM’s integration with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) brings all of that together. It unifies identity across cloud and on-premises systems, automates user lifecycle management, and ensures that access always matches reality.

Where Hybrid Identity Breaks Down

Managing Entra ID alongside on-prem applications sounds simple, until you try to scale it.

Federation Gets Messy

Setting up trust between multiple identity providers and service providers is a headache. One misconfigured SAML or OIDC setting, and users can’t log in, or worse, you leave a security gap.

Users Juggle Too Many Logins

Without a central federation, people are logging in multiple times a day. It’s frustrating for them and fuels password fatigue or risky workarounds.

Syncing Accounts is Manual and Error-Prone

Keeping identities, roles, and attributes aligned between cloud and on-prem resources can feel like whack-a-mole if you don’t automate it.

Compliance Becomes a Fire Drill

SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, they all demand clear, consistent access control. When your identity systems are scattered, every audit becomes a scramble.

Lifecycle Gaps Create Security Risk

If accounts aren’t provisioned and deprovisioned in sync, you end up with orphaned accounts and over-permissioned users, a quiet but serious vulnerability.

How OpenIAM Fixes Hybrid Identity

OpenIAM’s EntraID integration creates a bridge between your cloud and on-prem worlds. It handles the hard stuff, federation, automation, and lifecycle management, so IT can stop firefighting and start governing.

Flexible, Dual Federation

Use OpenIAM as your Identity Provider for on-prem apps and trust EntraID for cloud. Or flip it: let Entra ID handle auth, while OpenIAM manages your on-prem resources. Either way, your users sign in once and everything just works.

Built on Open Standards

We speak SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect, so your integrations are secure, modern, and future-ready.

Single Sign-On, Done Right

Users log in one time, whether they start in the cloud or on-prem, and get seamless access to all the apps they’re entitled to.

Automated Lifecycle Management

When someone joins, moves, or leaves, access follows automatically. Provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning all happen in real time, no tickets, no loose ends.

Roles and Attributes Stay in Sync

Identity attributes and access roles flow between EntraID and OpenIAM. Users get exactly the access they should, nothing more, nothing less.

Consistent MFA and Policy Enforcement

Whether a user starts in OpenIAM or Entra ID, your multi-factor authentication and access rules follow them everywhere.

Unified Audit Trails

Every login, role change, and deprovisioning event is captured in a single log. When the auditors ask, you already have the answer.

The Payoff for Your Business

When OpenIAM and Entra ID work together, you get more than a technical integration, you get peace of mind.

Seamless Hybrid Identity

Cloud, on-prem, SaaS, custom apps, all connected under one identity fabric.

Security You Can Trust

Real-time deprovisioning, least-privilege access, and consistent MFA shrink your attack surface.

Compliance Without the Stress

Centralized logging and unified policies make audits routine instead of painful.

Less Work for IT

No more manual provisioning or account chasing. Your team spends time on strategy, not maintenance.

A Better User Experience

Employees sign in once and get to work. No juggling credentials. No waiting on IT to catch up.

Ready for Whatever’s Next

As you add apps, move workloads, or adopt multi-cloud, the integration scales with you.

Hybrid Identity Without the Headaches

Your users get simplicity. Your security team gets control. Your auditors get proof.

OpenIAM’s integration with Microsoft Entra ID brings your entire identity landscape into focus, automated, auditable, and ready for whatever comes next.
