About this tag
The identity tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's evolving approach to authentication, authorization, and governance across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Discussions include Entra ID authentication for Azure Bastion RDP sessions, identity-first backup and recovery strategies for Active Directory, and the role of identity in governing AI agents through integrations like Workday's Agent System of Record. The tag also touches on security incidents such as the Azure Front Door outage that impacted sign-ins, as well as developer-focused topics like passkey support in ASP.NET Identity. Recurring themes center on making identity the primary security boundary, reducing reliance on local credentials, and managing identity as a critical dependency for enterprise IT operations.
