Azure AD Pass-Through Authentication wasn’t the only news coming out of the Azure department today, also announced was the addition of “Seamless single sign-on for all.” Azure AD Connect IT Pros can now enable a single sign-on for their employees without requiring any additional on-premises infrastructure investments.
To get started with Azure AD-Pass Through Authentication and Seamless Single Sign-on, Microsoft is encouraging customers to download the latest version of Azure AD Connect. The new options can be found in the custom install for new deployments after changing sign-in methods.
