OpenIAM + Microsoft Entra ID: Identity That Works Everywhere
One Identity, Across Cloud and On-Prem. Finally.
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, 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.
