Unified Manager SAML - Entra ID?

[uphill]

For 9.16 still it only shows this as validated providers

• Shibboleth

• Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)

When is support for Entra ID or any of the other providers coming for UM?

Reason I ask is because we've tried (with less than stellar results) to make this work. Note the word "tried". It works for a bit, then fails for all users and has to be disabled. More or less wondering if SAML is one of those features which might work, but there's no real ongoing validation or testing going on to provide some sort of recommendations for making it reliable.

If anyone's using this with no issues, there must be something the docs don't provide.

thanks

UpHill -

It's a big hill we do have to climb.

There is an internal roadmap that devel follows.

The implementation of function in ONTAP releases is mostly driven by LARGE customer request.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer privy to the roadmap.

Even if I was still privy - it's soo against the rules to talk about that here !

There's these NDA agreements we have to sign.

Given the longtime and close partnership between MS and NA it would be my guess that this will becoming Real Soon Now.

But that's just my best Guess.

With the time it seems you've already invested in this rabbit hole I'd like to encourage you to continue.

Continue to reach out to your NA and Azure sales teams. 

Continue to test in lab before deployment.

You mentioned that you tried to implement - I'll hope it wasn't in production.

Test environs with sims have been my BFFs for a long time.

I thank you very much for sharing this question with the community.

It's one one of those deep questions that have always made me love this place.

I hope this response has been helpful to you.

At your service,
