The Microsoft Entra ID authentication pipeline consists of several built-in authentication events, like the validation of user credentials, Conditional Access policies, multifactor authentication, self-service password reset, and more.
**Service category:** Conditional Access
One scenario that many organizations [building for resilience](resilience-overview.md) in their identity and access management architecture need to accommodate is continuity of application access during temporary site disconnection. The organization may have one or more physical sites at which their applications are deployed. Some of their users are colocated at those sites and need to be able to access local applications. For example, employees at a factory or at a store may need to be able to sign-in to in-house-developed business applications managing operations at that site.

Microsoft Entra ID is an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solution that stores and manages identity and access data in the cloud. You can use the data to enable and manage access to cloud services, achieve mobility scenarios, and secure your organization. An instance of the Microsoft Entra ID service, called a [tenant](~/identity-platform/developer-glossary.md#tenant), is an isolated set of directory object data that the customer provisions and owns.

Integrating Rippling Human Capital Management (HCM) with Microsoft Entra ID/Active Directory.
In this scenario, you set up Global Secure Access and Conditional Access to block access to a specific unauthorized website such as an unsanctioned AI app, while using entitlement management to provide governed access to users who should be exempt from the policy. This scenario is useful for generative AI applications and other web applications that don't support provisioning or federation with Microsoft Entra.

1. Access the Microsoft Entra admin center using only your sign-in credentials. No other authentication is required.
- If you're using a personal account or email one-time passcode, you'll need to use a My Account URL that includes your tenant name or tenant ID.

This change to service principal-less authentication will make client service principal a requirement for all applications in order to improve our "Security by default" ([See authentication behaviors](/graph/api/resources/authenticationbehaviors?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true)). Service principal-less authentication can be abused if the resource applications (i.e. APIs) perform incomplete validations. Microsoft has verified that validations aren't vulnerable to service principal-less authentication. However, with this action, the risk of this gap reappearing in future versions or being exploited in third-party resources outside Microsoft’s control is minimized.
Secure Shell (SSH) is widely recognized across the IT industry as a critical service for system administrators. It provides a secure and encrypted method to access and manage remote systems over unsecured networks.
