Azure Active Directory Integration

Setting up Azure Active Directory Integration adds benefits to Signal, Data Holds, and Searches by allowing you to quickly take action on meaningful groups in your organization.

Azure Active Directory Integration Checklist: 

  • We encourage you to utilize an Aware System Admin Account for SSO Integration if possible

  • Internally, take note of the account associated with the integration (system admin or not)

  • Define the expiration for the integration and share with Aware Customer Success Team

An IT Administrator Left the Organization, What's Next? 

AAD integrations can expire with no notice, and be left in a state of not working until someone tries to log in. In order to avoid this, please take some time and follow the steps below: 

  • Review which administrator account is being used for AAD/SSO
  • Review which account was used for the Aware Integration 
  • Review your Aware Administrator to make sure there is one identified  

**Please note that there will be no lapse in data loss if integration is interrupted from someone’s email being deactivated, however this will impact real time alerting though. Data will be caught up upon successful reintegration.
