Understanding Azure AD
The document outlines Microsoft’s official course on understanding Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), covering identity models such as cloud, synchronized, and federated identities. It highlights the functionalities of Azure AD, including user management, authentication methods, and different Azure AD tiers—Free, Basic, Premium P1, and Premium P2—along with their respective features and service level agreements. Additionally, it discusses Azure AD Connect for syncing identities between on-premises and cloud environments and the setup of Azure AD Domain Services for traditional directory-aware applications.

- 44. Pass-through Authentication -Configuration Users from all managed domains in your tenant can sign in using Pass-through Authentication. However, users from federated domains continue to sign in using Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) or another federation provider that you have previously configured. If you convert a domain from federated to managed, all users from that domain automatically start signing in using Pass-through Authentication. Cloud-only users are not impacted by the Pass- through Authentication feature.

This change disables Pass- through Authentication on the tenant and uninstalls the Authentication Agent from the server. You have to manually uninstall the Authentication Agents from other servers.
