Office 365 Integration Options - SharePoint Fest 2012
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes825 views
This document discusses different options for integrating an on-premise Active Directory with Microsoft Office 365: no integration, directory integration (synchronization), and Active Directory authentication. Directory integration allows maintaining a single user directory and moderately quick deployment but requires a separate login. AD authentication provides a single sign-on via Active Directory, simplifies application logins, and maintains a single directory, but has a more complex deployment. The document provides example architectures and pros and cons of each option.
