MFA Implementation using Microsoft Common (MS Entra ID)

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure AD) is a comprehensive identity and access management solution. Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using Microsoft Entra ID involves several steps and considerations:

Deployment Planning: Before starting the deployment, it's essential to plan and ensure all prerequisites are met. This includes having a cloud-only identity environment or a hybrid identity scenario where user identities are synchronized between on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID.
Choosing Authentication Methods: Various methods can be used for the second factor of authentication, such as:

• Microsoft Authenticator app
• FIDO2 security keys
• Hardware and software OATH tokens
• SMS and voice call verification

Configuration: Setting up MFA involves configuring policies and settings in the Microsoft Entra admin center. This includes creating Conditional Access policies to require MFA for specific users or groups and managing the authentication methods available in the tenant.
User Experience: Ensuring a smooth user experience by enabling multiple MFA methods so users have backup options if their primary method is unavailable. The Microsoft Authenticator app is often recommended for its flexibility and usability.
Migrating from OpenAM: OpenAM is an open-source access management solution that provides authentication, authorization, and federation services. Migrating from OpenAM to another platform, such as Microsoft Entra ID, involves several steps.
