Abstract

Microsoft Azure Active Directory is a widely popular identity and access management tool based on a cloud solution that contains various services such as application access management, directory services, and advanced identity protection. The primary objective of this research paper is to use the SensiPass existing service and further develop and extend its existing authentication mechanism. Azure Active Directory integrates with SensiPass's core Identity providing services, and the conditional access of Azure AD contains a security feature for enabling a custom multi-factor authentication. The conditional access feature has enabled SensiPass® for using its existing authentication mechanism. Azure AD is an industry-standard and market leader for IAM services with advanced security and administrative features. SensiPass's founder initialized the requirement to enhance its authentication for IDaaS compatibility. For the research study, extensive research was conducted and evaluation of the existing literature on 3-factor authentication, IAM and AD. The thesis has been written based on the incremental and constructive approach since it is based on developing and testing new features. The evaluation compares cloud service providers and performs further testing, such as unit testing and integration testing. Different test cases have been chosen carefully to cover every edge case and functionality testing. The evaluation output resulted in the successful completion of the integration, and it enabled SensiPass® to lay the foundation of the IDaaS business model.
