Configure an Entra ID Directory

Learn how to configure an Entra ID directory in the Cloud Identity Engine.
When you configure an Entra ID directory in the Cloud Identity Engine, it allows the Cloud Identity Engine to collect attributes for user identification, enabling consistent enforcement of your Security policy across your network.
After you configure your Entra ID directory, you can reconnect or edit the configuration or revoke permissions for directory removal. You can also use the client credential flow as an alternative to the CIE Enterprise app connection flow type or Configure SCIM Connector for the Cloud Identity Engine to specify which attributes the Cloud Identity Engine collects from your Azure AD. You can also Configure Azure as an IdP in the Cloud Identity Engine for user authentication.
To view the attributes that the Cloud Identity Engine collects from your Entra ID for user identification, see Entra ID. You can also optionally Collect Custom Attributes with the Cloud Identity Engine if you use custom attributes in your directory.
