Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Microsoft Azure AD, is a cloud-based service for identity and access management. It enables employees within an organization to access external resources using their universal company credentials. This integration eliminates the need for a separate login to access Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, simplifying access control and enhancing security by reducing password-related risks.
It's incredible to think what the world could achieve if every digital experience and interaction could be secure and trusted. The idea has inspired us to think differently about identity and access. We have a new, expanded vision to provide secure access for everyone and everything—even as new things emerge. Welcome to Microsoft Entra, a unified solution for secure access that gives you more freedom to take your vision to the next level.
The integration enables partner users to access the Management Console using their universal company credentials, eliminating the need for a separate login and password. Additionally, it allows for centralized log-out when the session terminates.
The integration seamlessly works with the multi-factor authentication status in Microsoft Entra ID, automatically suppressing the second-factor challenge by Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud if Microsoft Entra ID multi-factor authentication has been successfully completed.
Thanks to the simple self-service wizard in the Management Console and the certified Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud application in the Entra App Gallery, the setup and configuration process takes only minutes to complete.
