Microsoft Azure Active Directory Adapter is an interface between a managed resource and the IBM® Security Identity server. The Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure Active Directory Adapter) uses the Tivoli® Directory Integrator functions to facilitate communication between the IBM Security Identity server and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure Active Directory).

Adapters can be installed on the managed resource. The IBM Security Identity server manages access to the resource by using the security system. Adapters function as trusted virtual administrators on the target operating system. The adapter creates, suspends, restores user accounts, and other functions that administrators run manually. The adapter runs as a service, independently of whether you are logged on to the IBM Security Identity server.

The adapter automates several administrative and management tasks. You can use the adapter to automate the following tasks:

• Create, modify, suspend, restore, change password, and delete a user.
• Create, modify, and delete group.
• Reconcile user and user attributes.
• Reconcile group and group attributes.
