The Pass-through Authentication
This authentification allows you to use the same password for the on-premise and Cloud-based applications. However, it’s important to note that user authentication is done through the Active Directory on-premise and not through Azure Active Directory. It’s a good alternative to Azure AD Password Hash Synchronization. However, it makes it easier to apply a security policy to passwords.
Benefits of the solution
This solution offers the following benefits :
- The same password for cloud-based applications and on-premise applications
- When user change password, the modification for cloud-based application is instantaneous
- Easy to deploy: only one agent to install
- Passwords are never stored in the cloud
- Agents can be installed on multiple on-premises servers to provide high availability
