Magento
Azure Active Directory
Integration Services
Magento runs your storefront. Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) governs your identities. But why let them operate in isolation?
Our Magento–Azure Active Directory integration connects the dots—seamlessly. Unified logins, real-time user sync, and secure access control—all managed under a single identity framework built for clarity, control, and enterprise scale.
Why choose Azure Active Directory over Traditional Active Directory?
Traditional Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft’s legacy, on-premises identity system—designed for local networks, Windows PCs, and office-based infrastructure. It uses domain controllers to manage access to internal resources like file servers and printers.
Azure Active Directory—now known as Microsoft Entra ID—is the cloud-based evolution of AD. It’s built for the modern digital environment, providing identity and access management across cloud apps, web platforms, mobile services, and SaaS tools.
Magento is a cloud-first, API-driven eCommerce platform. Integrating it with on-prem AD often requires complex setups. By contrast, Azure AD supports native protocols like OAuth2 and SCIM, making it the smarter, simpler, and more secure choice for Magento integration.
Still unsure? Here's a quick comparison to clarify:
| Feature | Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) | Traditional Active Directory |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | In the cloud (online) | On local servers (offline/local network) |
| Best for | Web apps, cloud services, remote access | Office computers, file servers, printers |
| Access type | Anywhere, any device | Only inside company network (unless bridged) |
| Magento integration | Easy – built-in support (SSO, APIs) | Complicated – needs extra setup (AD FS) |
| Login method | Modern – single sign-on, multi-factor auth | Basic username/password |
| Setup & maintenance | Microsoft-managed, automatic updates | Flat monthly pricing, clear cost structure |
| Security | Advanced – Zero Trust, real-time monitoring | Limited – traditional password policie |
| Scalability | Easy to scale for remote teams or large users | Harder to scale – tied to physical servers |
Core features of Magento-azure active directory/Microsoft Entra ID integration
Single sign-on
We configure secure SSO so your users only need one login to access Magento and other connected apps—saving time and reducing password fatigue.
Multi-factor authentication
You get enhanced security with MFA, making sure only verified users can access your store—even if a password is compromised.
Automated provisioning
Our system automatically creates, updates, or removes Magento user accounts based on changes in your Azure AD—no manual effort required.
Role mapping
We sync user roles and attributes from Microsoft Entra ID to Magento, ensuring everyone gets the right access level without duplication or errors.
Admin & customer SSO
Both your internal team and B2B customers can log in easily using the same identity provider, simplifying the experience for all users.
Custom redirects
We set up custom post-login and logout redirects, so your users always land exactly where they need to go.
Multi-IDP support
Our integration allows Magento to connect with multiple identity providers, not just Microsoft Entra I—ideal for hybrid environments.
Multi-store compatibility
If you manage multiple Magento stores, we ensure unified login and access control across all of them through a single AD instance.
Centralized access control
You manage all access rights from Azure Active Directory—no need to update permissions separately in Magento.
