Day in brief
LES Writeback, Android Play Integrity, and SCIM mailNickname rules sharpen Entra guidance
The period was dominated by ordinary documentation maintenance—sample GUIDs, example identifiers, a corrected link, and PowerShell example syntax. The substantive updates were clearer Conditional Access guidance for Android integrity checks, new Exchange Hybrid detail on LES Writeback, and a precise SCIM description of how Entra ID handles mailNickname during user creation.
- Conditional Access guidance documents Android Play Integrity enforcement
Entra ID · AuthenticationThe Assignment Network guidance now says Microsoft Authenticator for Android uses the Google Play Integrity API for jailbreak detection and denies access when the API is unavailable, unless the policy is disabled. Use this detail when troubleshooting blocked Android access under Conditional Access.
The article now documents Entra2ADExchangeOnlineAttributeWriteback, also called LES Writeback, including its cloud-managed attribute flow, distinction from Exchange hybrid writeback, supported attributes, mappings, and related guidance.
- SCIM reference clarifies mailNickname creation and PATCH limits
Entra ID · StandardsWhen creating a user, mailNickname may be omitted, null, or empty. Entra ID derives it from the characters before the first @ in userName, and after creation it cannot be removed with PATCH.
- Consent policy examples replace documented application IDs
Entra ID · DeveloperThe Manage App Consent Policies guidance replaces the application IDs shown for Apple Mail, Spark Email, eM Client, Android-Samsung, Android-Mail, and Thunderbird. Administrators using those identifiers in consent-policy rules should verify them against the updated examples.
