Windows Azure Active Directory (AD) lets organizations connect their on-premises Windows Server AD identities to the cloud. This enables end users to single sign-on into cloud-based applications without needing to log in with multiple passwords. If you’re wondering what apps would work with Windows Azure AD, it turns out there are a lot.
More than 500 applications are pre-integrated with Windows Azure Active Directory, “and we are adding hundreds more in the coming months,” writes Alex Simons, director of Program Management for Active Directory.
You can peruse them all in the Windows Azure Active Directory application gallery. Among the apps you’ll find Microsoft's cloud apps and services such as Office 365 and Dynamics CRM Online, plus third party applications like Salesforce.com and Box that you may already be using and want to connect to Windows Azure AD.
“If there's an application you need that we don't integrate with today, we'd definitely like to hear from you,” says Simons. You can post your app wish list at the Windows Azure Active Directory forum.
Head over to Monday’s post on the Azure Active Directory Blog and this post from Nov. 20 for more information.
