Hi experts,
Is there any way to import users from Azure AD to On-premise D365 F&O?
When I try to import users in the menu "Import Users", it connects to On-premise AD.
Thank you in advance.
You can just look at the official documentation.
It clearly says: AD FS is the authentication method used in an on-premises deployment.
The blog post is about a different product - former Dynamics CRM.
Unfortunately the name is super-confusing. :-(
Hi Nikolaos,
Thank you for your reply.
I’m a bit confused.
I found a few articles that mentioned authenticate with Azure AD.
Would you have a look the article if it’s a possible scenario?
Hi Kateioi,
Like mentioned above, the local AD is the source for AD FS and Dynamics 365 on-premise.
The sync from AAD is only to help get users synchronized in the local AD.
You can't authenticate with AAD when you use on-premises system. AAD is a cloud solution and on-premises is not connected to cloud solutions. One of the main purposes of on-premises it to serve customers who don't want to use cloud and don't want to send data (such as user information) to cloud.
D365FO users ADFS for authentication. If you have questions about configuring ADFS it's good to post questions in some forum which is related to ADFS, not Dynamics. There you would find help of people who are experts of ADFS.
Hi Andre,
Thank you for your comments.
I’ve completed sync users to Azure AD through AD Connector.
However, since users are synced from on-prem AD, ADFS still sends authentication to on-prem AD.
In order to authenticate from Azure AD what should I have to configure more?
Hi Kateioi,
Like mentioned above, this is not possible. You can, however, you can sync Azure AD with a on-premise AD. Then you are able to import them.
