Among the new features included in ITMS 8.7.2 is integration with Microsoft Entra (Azure AD). This integration, based on OpenID Connect, enables the Symantec Management Console and the Software Portal to use a Microsoft Entra tenant for authentication. In turn, this permits customers to implement Multifactor Authentication.
The integration with Microsoft Entra also enables customers to import security roles, computer groups and user groups from Microsoft Entra in a manner similar to how the existing AD Import functionality works.
Finally, the support included in ITMS 8.7.2 enables ITMS to operate in Microsoft Entra only environments if a local account on the Notification Server is used for the Agent Connectivity Credentials.
To learn more about how to setup and configure ITMS to use Microsoft Entra, see the new white paper published here.
