Session Lifetime

Updated

Administrators should limit the number of applications they enforce a policy requiring users to reauthenticate every time with. Triggering reauthentication too frequently can increase security friction to a point that it causes users to experience MFA fatigue and open the door to phishing. Web applications usually provide a less disruptive experience than their desktop counterparts when require reauthentication every time is enabled. We factor for five minutes of clock skew when every time is selected in policy, so that we don’t prompt users more often than once every five minutes.

Native Authentication

Updated

If your team has determined that native authentication is necessary for your application, follow these steps to enable native authentication in the Microsoft Entra admin center:

Authenticate Application Id

Updated

Entra Connect uses the [Microsoft Entra Connector account](reference-connect-accounts-permissions.md#accounts-used-for-microsoft-entra-connect) to authenticate and sync identities from Active Directory to Entra ID. This account uses username and password to authenticate requests. To enhance the security of the service, we're rolling out an application identity that uses Oauth 2.0 client credential flow with certificate credentials. In this new method, Entra or Administrator creates a single tenant third party application in Entra ID and use one of the relevant certificate management options below for the credentials.
