Do you still need SSPR in a passwordless era? en de

The significance of Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) remains high in an era increasingly shifting towards "passwordless" solutions. As passwords continue to be used, SSPR's importance is undiminished. The challenges of SSPR in MS Entra ID encompass:
- An overview of policies and their capabilities.
- Configuration in hybrid environments (on-premises).
- Integration of MS Entra ID SSPR into the Windows Computer login screen.
- Strengthening the service account that writes passwords back to the local AD DS (Entra Connect - AD DS Connector Account).
- Utilization of the Yubico Authenticator App as an SSPR method.
- Customization options available with the new "branding" features.
- Monitoring and insights for SSPR usage and effectiveness.

The session has a duration of about 60min. We talk at level-300.

Wie wichtig ist SSPR in einer passwortlosen Zeit noch? en de

Wie wichtig ist Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) in einer Zeit, in der es immer weniger Passwörter gibt und "passwortlos" immer wichtiger wird?
Solange es noch Passwörter gibt, dürfte es wohl sehr wichtig sein!

- Überblick über die Richtlinien und deren Möglichkeiten
- Setup in hybrider Landschaften (On-Premises)
- Integration von SSPR in den Anmeldebildschirm von Windows Computer
- Härtung des Service Accounts, der die Passwörter gegen das lokale AD DS schreibt (Entra Connect - AD DS Connector Account)
- Yubico Authenticator App als SSPR Methode
- Anpassungsmöglichkeiten über die neue "Branding" Funktionen
- Monitoring und Überwachung

Level-300 Session mit einer Dauer von etwa 60 Minuten.

Playing together - Entra Synchronization- and Workflow Technologies en

Hybrid configurations are prevalent, and identity synchronization is a crucial mechanism within such setups. Identities are not merely transitioning from On-Premises to MS Entra ID; rather, Entra ID serves as a central hub where numerous functions and technologies come into play, such as:
- Entra Cloud Sync
- Lifecycle Workflows
- API / HR-Driven Provisioning, among others.
We will explore which tool fulfills specific requirements in your strategy. The presentation will focus on a model company to provide practical examples of how these technologies are configured.

Preferred duration is 50-60min.

Some content originated from my presentation at the Cloud Summit in April 2024. This presentation is recent and extends on that content, reflecting Microsoft's current expansion in Sync-related topics.
