    The Symantec VIP team is pleased to announce that we will be previewing the new integration with Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) using External Authentication Methods (EAM) as part of the May release. 

    The VIP preview supports EAM as a new method for connecting 3rd party MFA solutions into Entra ID. EAM is based on the OIDC standard and will be the long-term replacement for custom controls. Our preview allows customers to verify the integration with Entra ID using EAM. VIP will continue to support both the custom controls integration as well as EAM at this time.

     

    You can read the Microsoft announcement here to learn about EAM and how to configure it on the Microsoft side.

     

    If you are interested in turning on this preview in your VIP tenant, please reach out to me - Rob Lindberg (rob.lindberg@broadcom.com) so that we can enable it for your VIP tenant. 

    Regards,

    Rob
