D3Clarity Microsoft Entra ID SSO Integration for AWS IAM

D3Clarity implements Single Sign-On (SSO) for Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) with AWS IAM Identity Center to centralize workforce access across your AWS Organizations and applications. We align architecture to your policies, enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and automate least-privilege access with permission sets and groups. Our AWS-certified experts bring proven delivery methods, verified partner credentials, and production-grade documentation so you can reduce risk, retire technical debt, and accelerate measurable outcomes.

• Identity Integration and SSO Enablement: Configure IAM Identity Center, connect Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) or other OIDC/SAML compliant SSO platforms, set up user/group mappings, and app assignments. This streamlines and enforces existing security policies, like MFA, onto your AWS environment.
• Automated Provisioning (SCIM) Setup: Implement or validate SCIM-based user and group provisioning to reduce manual admin effort.
• Permission Sets and Account Assignments: Define roles, access boundaries, and lifecycle workflows across AWS accounts.
• Knowledge Transfer: Operational runbooks, break-glass procedures, and team training.
• Validation and Go-Live Support: End-to-end testing, cutover plan, and stabilization support.

What you need before engagement begins:

• Active AWS Organizations structure with IAM Identity Center enabled (or readiness to enable it)
• Microsoft Entra ID tenant with appropriate license tier (P1 or P2 recommended for Conditional Access and SCIM)
• Identified AWS accounts in scope for SSO integration
• Designated stakeholders with Global Admin access to Entra ID and AWS management account access
• Internal change-management approval for identity architecture changes What is included:
• SSO configuration for AWS accounts within a single AWS Organization
• SCIM provisioning setup for user and group synchronization
• Permission set design and account assignments
• Runbooks, break-glass procedures, and knowledge transfer sessions Waat is out of scope (available as add-on engagements):
• Custom application SAML/OIDC integrations beyond AWS console and standard AWS apps
• Legacy on-premises Active Directory remediation or migration
• Ongoing managed operations (available separately under D3Clarity Managed Services)

Typical engagement duration: Engagements are scoped during a discovery workshop and typically span a defined implementation period based on the number of AWS accounts and complexity of permission sets required.

A mid-market organization with 30+ AWS accounts and hundreds of developers needed to consolidate identity management under Microsoft Entra ID with SCIM provisioning to streamline audit compliance timelines. D3Clarity designed permission sets aligned to job functions, automated user provisioning and deprovisioning through SCIM, and delivered runbooks enabling the internal team to manage ongoing access changes independently. The result: new hires gained appropriate AWS access within minutes of Entra ID group assignment, and offboarding removed all AWS permissions automatically upon directory removal.

D3Clarity helps you maximize your results with AWS Partner Funding programs. If you are eligible, these programs can reduce engagement costs:

• Proof-of-Concept (POC): Funding of pilots for small-scale or initial deployments
• Well-Architected Partner Program Funding: Funding for new AWS infrastructure in existing accounts

• Fewer Password-Related Tickets: Password resets make up 20-50% of help desk contacts; consolidating sign-in markedly reduces reset volume and cost, improving Return on Investment (ROI) on IT operations.
• Lower Breach Exposure: Credential misuse remains a leading breach vector; enforcing centralized SSO plus MFA reduces Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) access issues.
