About this tag
OIDC (OpenID Connect) is an authentication protocol built on OAuth 2.0, used for single sign-on (SSO) and identity federation in Microsoft Entra ID, Azure, and third-party integrations. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover custom SSO claims using Entra ID directory extensions mapped to OIDC tokens, Azure MFA enforcement affecting CLI and API workflows that rely on OIDC, and security vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-40571 in Siemens Mendix OIDC SSO modules. Administrators also explore combining OIDC with Duo MFA and AD FS for federated identity. Topics include token claims, directory extensions, and migration planning for Azure MFA phases.
Microsoft’s decision to make multifactor authentication (MFA) mandatory for Azure sign‑ins is no longer an abstract recommendation — it’s a phased, platform‑level enforcement that changes how administrators, DevOps engineers, and security teams authenticate to the Azure control plane and related...
Microsoft has announced that mandatory multi‑factor authentication will soon extend beyond Azure's web consoles to command‑line and programmatic interfaces, forcing a major rethink of developer tooling and automation strategies: starting this enforcement window, any user performing create...
Microsoft’s recent how‑to on issuing custom SSO claims from Entra ID using directory extension attributes gives administrators a practical, low‑friction way to inject organization‑specific data into SAML and OIDC tokens — and to do so only for selected user groups during sign‑in. The documented...
Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) has been a cornerstone for organizations seeking to provide single sign-on (SSO) and secure access to a range of web applications—both on-premises and in the cloud. With the explosion of SaaS adoption, the importance of strong authentication...
The recent disclosure of a security vulnerability in Siemens’ Mendix OIDC SSO modules has sent ripples across industries that rely on low-code platforms for rapid digital transformation, especially where secure authentication is paramount. Siemens—a global leader in industrial automation...
In today’s world of increasing cyber threats and the growing need for seamless user access, Duo Single Sign-On (SSO) emerges as a solid solution for robust identity management. If you’re a Windows administrator or a tech enthusiast looking to enhance security while minimizing password fatigue...
