The Identity Manager Driver for Office 365 and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD driver) allows you to seamlessly provision and deprovision users, group memberships, exchange mailboxes, roles, and licenses to Azure AD cloud. You can also configure the driver to integrate with Identity Manager Service for Exchange Online (Identity Manager Exchange Service) for synchronizing Office 365 attributes.
Microsoft Office 365 is deprecating the Basic authentication method. To configure the driver with modern authentication, it is recommended to upgrade your driver to 5.1.3 or later. Prerequisites for the upgrade are explained in the following documents: Prerequisites for the Driver, Prerequisites for Identity Manager Exchange Service, and Prerequisites for OAuth 2.0. Once these prerequisites are met, proceed with the steps outlined in Prerequisites for Support of Modern Authentication.
Also, the performance improvement feature Group cache clear interval is introduced in the Subscriber channel from Driver version 5.1.4 and later. For more information, see Group Cache Clear Interval.
In general, you can perform the following tasks by using the driver:
Synchronize users and groups on Publisher and Subscriber channels
Provision and deprovision mail and mailbox users, distribution and mail enabled security and Office 365 groups
Assign and revoke roles, group membership, and licenses using entitlements
Extend the Azure AD schema
Synchronize passwords from the Identity Vault
This section contains high-level conceptual information about the Azure AD driver.
