Since\u00a0we launched Azure AD B2B capabilities\u00a0a year ago, more than 800,000 organizations have used Azure AD B2B to collaborate with their partners, adding\u00a08\u00a0million\u00a0guest\u00a0user accounts. Pretty amazing right?!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\">One of the most frequent pieces of feedback we&#8217;ve received is that you need B2B collaboration to work for all your apps, even if you have a hybrid configuration where you have apps on-premises and apps in the cloud. For example, you might already use B2B collaboration to invite your partners to access apps in Azure or Office 365, using their external credentials. But, you have high-value\u00a0on-premises\u00a0apps\u00a0that\u00a0your\u00a0organization\u00a0is not ready to move to the cloud just yet. <\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;\">Today,\u00a0I&#8217;m\u00a0excited to let you know that we&#8217;re releasing a public preview that lets you give Azure AD B2B users access to on-premises apps, without needing to manually create on-prem accounts for them!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;\">These on-premises apps can use SAML-based authentication or Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) with Kerberos constrained delegation (KCD). This means employees in companies you partner with can use the same work accounts and credentials they use every day and now they can easily and securely access all the cloud and on-premises apps you make available to them. And to top it off, you can use conditional access policies and lifecycle management policies in Azure AD to protect your resources just like you can for employees.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;\">To get start, I&#8217;d recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/active-directory\/active-directory-b2b-hybrid-cloud-to-on-premises\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> taking a look at the docs<\/a><\/span>. <span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;\">It&#8217;s not hard to enable your employees and partners to collaborate seamlessly even in a\u00a0hybrid configuration!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: 11pt;\">And as always,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/Azure-Active-Directory-B2B\/bd-p\/AzureAD_B2b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">connect with us<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for any\u00a0feedback, discussions, and suggestions.\u00a0You know we&#8217;re listening!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"color: #41424e;\">Best Regards,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #41424e;\">Alex Simons (@Twitter:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Alex_A_Simons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0078d7; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>@Alex_A_Simons<\/strong><\/span><\/a>)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #41424e;\">Director of Program Management<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #41424e;\">Microsoft Identity Division<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howdy folks,\u00a0 Many of you probably already use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B collaboration to work closely with your external partners.
