The following section provides you with several integration scenarios, including the user sign-in options. We will divide this section into the following situations:
- Single-forest integration
- Multi-forest integration
- Multi Azure Active Directory Integration
- Azure Active Directory Domain Services Integration
- Stretched Active Directory to Azure IaaS
- Azure Active Directory B2B Integration
- Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Office 365 synchronization
- Identity and password...
