Features & benefits

Multiple modes for establishing identity at your workplace Modern physical access for smartphone & non-smartphone users

Strengthening Azure Access with Modern Authentication

Extend your Azure environment with modern authentication and session security by combining Azure’s cloud platform with OLOID’s passwordless identity layer.

Cloud Workloads with Strong Identity Assurance

Protect access to Azure-hosted applications, virtual desktops, and services using OLOID’s phishing-resistant authentication.

One Access Model for Every Workforce Type

Support desk-based, mobile, and frontline users with consistent authentication across personal and shared devices.

Security Decisions Powered by Context

Use Azure user, device, and posture signals alongside OLOID’s session intelligence to enforce adaptive access policies.

Consistent Sign-In Across Azure Resources

Deliver a uniform login experience for cloud apps, containers, and virtual environments hosted in Azure.

Fast Adoption Without Infrastructure Rebuild

Deploy OLOID on top of existing Azure deployments without redesigning identity or application architecture.

Key Capabilities & Use Cases

Capability Description Benefit
Phishing-Resistant Access for Azure Apps Enforce strong credentials for users accessing Azure-hosted applications and services Reduces credential-based attacks
Shared & Frontline Device Enablement Enable fast user switching on kiosks and shift devices while remaining Azure-managed Secure handoff between users
Policy-Based Access Using Device Signals Combine Azure device compliance and identity signals with OLOID session policies Blocks risky access with minimal friction
Continuous Session Risk Monitoring Monitor sessions and trigger re-authentication when risk or posture changes Prevents misuse after login
Unified Authentication Experience Deliver consistent login across Azure-hosted workloads Improves adoption and reduces support burden
Layered Security Architecture Add OLOID without replacing Azure identity or applications Accelerates rollout and lowers operational impact

How It Works (Architecture Overview)

Below is a representative flow for using OLOID + Microsoft Azure together:

  1. User Requests Access

    A user attempts to open an application or service hosted in Azure.

  2. Authentication Routed to OLOID

    The authentication flow is routed through OLOID to enforce passwordless credentials and policy checks.

  3. Identity & Context Evaluation

    OLOID evaluates user identity, device posture, session context, and Azure-provided signals.

  4. Access Enforcement

    If policy conditions are met, access is granted and a secure session is established.

  5. Ongoing Session Oversight

    OLOID continuously monitors session behavior and can require re-authentication or terminate access if risk conditions arise.

LDAP vs ADFS: Differences, Use Cases, and How to Choose the Right Approach
LDAP and ADFS represent fundamentally different approaches to enterprise authentication and identity management. LDAP provides directory-based authentication for on-premises systems, while ADFS enables federated identity with single sign-on capabilities. This guide compares architectural differences, protocol support, and use cases for both systems. Learn when each approach fits best and how modern identity platforms bridge traditional and cloud-native authentication requirements.

SAML vs SSO: Key Differences and How Enterprises Implement Single Sign-On
This article clarifies the distinction between SAML and SSO in modern enterprise identity architecture, explaining how SSO defines the authentication strategy while SAML enables secure identity federation between identity providers and applications. Rather than treating them as competing technologies, it shows how they work together in hybrid environments and where SAML-based SSO remains most effective. It also explores where newer protocols fit and how enterprises design multi-protocol identity frameworks.
