Microsoft Entra Connect is an on-premises Microsoft application designed to meet and accomplish your hybrid identity goals. Here are some of its key benefits:
1. Hybrid Identity Goals: It's designed to meet your hybrid identity goals, providing a bridge between your on-premises applications and cloud services.
2. Single Identity Access: Users can use a single identity to access both on-premises applications and cloud services such as Microsoft 365.
3. Password Hash Synchronization: A sign-in method that synchronizes a hash of a user's on-premises AD password with Microsoft Entra ID.
4. Pass-through Authentication: Allows users to use the same password on-premises and in the cloud, but doesn't require the additional infrastructure of a federated environment.
5. Federation Integration: Can be used to configure a hybrid environment using an on-premises AD FS infrastructure.
6. Synchronization: Responsible for creating users, groups, and other objects, and making sure identity information for your on-premises users and groups matches the cloud.
7. Health Monitoring: Microsoft Entra Connect Health can provide robust monitoring and a central location in the Microsoft Entra admin center to view this activity.
8. Seamless Single Sign-On: Automatically signs users in when they are on their corporate devices connected to your corporate network.
9. Easy to Deploy & Administer: No additional components needed on-premises to make this work.
