Microsoft Active Directory and Azure Active Directory integration
Note:
Since July 2023, Microsoft has renamed Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to Microsoft Entra ID. In this document, any reference to Azure Active Directory, Azure AD, or AAD now refers to Microsoft Entra ID.
Connect your Active Directory or your Azure Active Directory and import the user details and the user groups from your organization’s domain to Citrix Analytics for Security.
This integration enhances the user profiles in Citrix Analytics for Security with user identity details such as job title, organization, office location, email, and contact details. On the User profile page, you can view these user details, which help you during risk investigation and analysis.
