Tutorial Manage Certificates For Federated Single Sign On

Updated

This section will outline best practices independent software vendors (ISV’s) can adopt to enable automated certificate rollover when SAML certificates are near expiry and when applications federated with Microsoft Entra ID. SAML certificates in Entra ID are used for signing assertions in federated single sign-on (SSO). These certificates expire (typically every 1-3 years) and rotation requires a Customer and SaaS ISV coordination to update a mutual certificate in both systems without downtime. Industry trends are shortening certificate lifetimes, manual rollover processes increasingly create operational burden and risk service disruption — especially in large organizations with many SAML enterprise applications.

Conditional Access

Use application proxy to integrate on-premises apps with Defender for Cloud Apps

Updated

Use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps with on-premises applications in Microsoft Entra ID. Use the Defender for Cloud Apps Conditional Access App Control to monitor and control sessions in real-time based on Conditional Access policies. You apply these policies to on-premises applications that use application proxy in Microsoft Entra ID.

Connect Version History

Updated

- Fixed a [known issue](#known-issue-synchronization-fails-after-upgrade-if-miiserverexeconfig-was-previously-modified) where auto-upgrade could stop your Microsoft Entra Connect server unexpectedly. Auto-upgrade now detects modifications to the `miiserver.exe.config` and `miisclient.exe.config` configuration files and skips automatic upgrade on those servers. If you manually upgrade and previously modified these configuration files, you might encounter installation failures. To resolve the issue, see the [known issues section](#known-issue-synchronization-fails-after-upgrade-if-miiserverexeconfig-was-previously-modified).
