Azure AD Password Protection detects and blocks known weak passwords and their variants, and can also block additional weak terms that are specific to your organization. With Azure AD Password Protection, default global banned password lists are automatically applied to all users in an Azure AD. Azure AD password hash authentication is the simplest way to enable authentication for on-premises Active Directory users in Azure AD. Users are synchronized with Azure AD and password validation occurs in the cloud using the same username and password that is used in on-premises environments. No additional infrastructure is required.

Tip

If you’re already using the 1Password SCIM bridge with a Provision Manager account, follow the steps to upgrade your provisioning integration.

With 1Password Business, you can automate many common administrative tasks using the 1Password SCIM bridge. It uses the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol to connect 1Password with your existing identity provider, like Azure Active Directory, Okta, OneLogin, or Rippling, so you can:

Create users and groups, including automated account confirmation
Grant and revoke access to groups
Suspend deprovisioned users

You’ll set up and deploy the SCIM bridge on a server in your own environment, so the encryption keys for your account are only available to you and no one else. To set up and deploy the SCIM bridge, you’ll need administrative access in 1Password Business.

Step 1: Prepare your 1Password account

If you’ve already been using 1Password Business, make sure the email addresses and group names in your 1Password account are identical to those in your identity provider:

If anyone is using a different email address in 1Password, ask them to change it.
If you have existing groups in 1Password that you want to sync with groups in your identity provider, adjust the group names in 1Password.

Step 2: Deploy the SCIM bridge

Before you can start provisioning, you’ll need to set up and deploy the SCIM bridge. Sign in to your 1Password account, click Integrations in the sidebar, and choose your identity provider. You can use these identity providers:

If you see the details for an existing provisioning integration, you’ll need to deactivate it first. Click More Actions and choose Deactivate Provisioning.

Important

The bearer token and scimsession file you receive during setup can be used together to access information from your 1Password account. You’ll need to share the bearer token with your identity provider, but it’s important to never share it with anyone else. And never share your scimsession file with anyone at all.

Step 3: Set up managed groups

After you’ve connected your identity provider, click View Details in the setup assistant or click Integrations in the sidebar and choose Manage.

On the provisioning details page, click Manage in the Managed Groups section, then select the groups to sync with your identity provider.

If you’ve previously used the SCIM bridge, make sure to select any groups that were already synced with your identity provider. This will prevent problems syncing with your identity provider, including duplicate groups.

If you want to use health monitoring and you set up the SCIM bridge before December 17, 2020, you’ll need to deploy the SCIM bridge again.

If your SCIM bridge goes offline or becomes unreachable, information between 1Password and your identity provider will stop syncing until it reconnects. Existing accounts and information won’t be affected. There’s no risk of data loss, even if you have to redeploy the SCIM bridge.

If you change a team member’s email address in your identity provider, 1Password will email the team member and ask them to accept the change. If you’re changing the domain of the email address, make sure the new domain is in the sign-up link allowed domains list on your Invitations page.

Employees today need to access several different accounts throughout their daily activities, and it's vital that the associated passwords are strong and secured to prevent data breaches. But how can employees be expected to remember lengthy and random passwords for all their logins? Hopefully, it’s already widely known that keeping passwords on sticky notes is a big no-no. Organizations should instead be using password managers, which are an easy way to maintain all necessary credentials stored safely in a vault protected by a master password.

However, this introduces another problem: organizing the password manager accounts. While this may not be a problem for startups or small businesses, it's clear that the larger a company becomes, the harder it gets to create and revoke employee access. That's why SCIM APIs were created – to provide IT administrators with the ability to manage their organization’s network and its users from an admin console. The most popular SCIM API is the Microsoft Azure Active Directory – also known as AD – which is used by most Fortune 1000 companies. It's no surprise that password managers with business plans provide AD integration allowing companies to easily manage accounts, vaults, and password sharing between employees.

How to Integrate LastPass With Azure Active Directory

LastPass Enterprise subscribers have access to the Windows service LastPass Active Directory Connector that can be downloaded from the password manager's Admin Console under Directory integrations. After installing the software outside the domain controller and logging in with the LastPass Enterprise admin email address and master password, you can configure the software.

The Connection tab is where the administrator sets the connection between LastPass and the Active Directory by inserting the domain, credentials, and base DN.

The Actions tab contains all configurations regarding how to react when specific events occur in the company's Active Directory. Although admins are free to configure the settings as they prefer, it's advisable to disable accounts instead of deleting them to prevent actions against user accounts, such as full vault data loss.

Next, the administrator needs to configure the synchronization settings to specify fields, groups, and users to sync between LastPass and Active Directory. All accounts need to have an email address listed in Active Directory for this to work, and it's possible to filter users based on group membership.

Lastly, the debug tab is where admins can clear the cache and find the log folder for troubleshooting AD Connector syncing issues.

How to Integrate 1Password With Azure Active Directory

1Password also uses a specific application called SCIM bridge to integrate with the Azure Active Directory, but it's a bit more complicated to set up.

First of all, companies need an OAuth bearer token and an encrypted scimsession file to deploy the SCIM bridge, the location of which can be easily found on 1Password's website. Once the admin has the necessary items, the application can be installed. 1P advises the use of a container, and offers dedicated guides for Google Cloud Platform, Azure Kubernetes Service, and DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service.

After the installation, administrators need to access their Microsoft Azure account to connect the identity provider to the SCIM bridge. To do so, they need to select ‘Enterprise application' under the ‘Azure Active Directory’ tab in the sidebar, click ‘New application', and click ‘Non-gallery application'. Here, admins can type the display name, select ‘add', and the app is created. To configure the application, the admin has to go to the details page of the 1Password app just created and do the following:

Click ‘Provisioning' in the sidebar.
Set ‘Provisioning Mode' to automatic.
Insert the Tenant URL – where the SCIM bridge was configured – and the 1P OAuth bearer token.
Set ‘Provisioning Status' to ‘On' and hit ‘Save'.

Organizations that want to sync specific users or groups need to set ‘Scope' to ‘Sync only assigned users and groups', click save, and then manage accesses by clicking on ‘Users and Groups'.

How to Integrate RoboForm With Azure Active Directory

RoboForm also offers AD integration through its RoboForm AD Connector. It can be downloaded from the user creation prompt in the company's administrator console.

After installing the program and logging in with RoboForm’s admin account, insert the Active Directory admin credentials and specify the Base DN. The latter can also be left to be discovered automatically by RoboForm.

The next step is to select which of the Active Directory groups should be synced into the RoboForm for Business Company account and go over all the sync rules, which are pretty straightforward to set. The last two steps are to schedule RoboForm's sync period and set the location where the RoboForm AD Client will store its logs.

When everything is done, the admin needs to press ‘Start' so the software begins syncing. If there's a need to change any of the settings, the admin just needs to click ‘Edit Configuration'.
