# Az - Entra ID (AzureAD) & Azure IAM

{{#include ../../../banners/hacktricks-training.md}}

## Basic Information

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) serves as Microsoft's cloud-based service for identity and access management. It is instrumental in enabling employees to sign in and gain access to resources, both within and beyond the organization, encompassing Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and a multitude of other SaaS applications. The design of Azure AD focuses on delivering essential identity services, prominently including **authentication, authorization, and user management**.

Key features of Azure AD involve **multi-factor authentication** and **conditional access**, alongside seamless integration with other Microsoft security services. These features significantly elevate the security of user identities and empower organizations to effectively implement and enforce their access policies. As a fundamental component of Microsoft's cloud services ecosystem, Azure AD is pivotal for the cloud-based management of user identities.

When you **login** via **CLI** into Azure with any program, you are using an **Azure Application** from a **tenant** that belongs to **Microsoft**. These Applications, like the ones you can create in your account, **have a client id**. You **won't be able to see all of them** in the **allowed applications lists** you can see in the console, **but they are allowed by default**.

For example a **powershell script** that **authenticates** use an app with client id **`1950a258-227b-4e31-a9cf-717495945fc2`**. Even if the app doesn't appear in the console, a sysadmin could **block that application** so users cannot access using tools that connects via that App.

However, there are **other client-ids** of applications that **will allow you to connect to Azure**:

```bash
# The important part is the ClientId, which identifies the application to login inside Azure

$token = Invoke-Authorize -Credential $credential `
                         -ClientId '1dfb5f98-f363-4b0f-b63a-8d20ada1e62d' `

### MFA & Conditional Access Policies

It's highly recommended to add MFA to every user, however, some companies won't set it or might set it with a Conditional Access: The user will be **required MFA if** it logs in from an specific location, browser or **some condition**. These policies, if not configured correctly might be prone to **bypasses**. Check:

When an App is generated 2 types of permissions are given:

- **Permissions** given to the **Service Principal**
- **Permissions** the **app** can have and use on **behalf of the user**.

## Defensive Mechanisms

### Privileged Identity Management (PIM)

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) in Azure helps to **prevent excessive privileges** to being assigned to users unnecessarily.

One of the main features provided by PIM is that It allows to not assign roles to principals that are constantly active, but make them **eligible for a period of time (e.g. 6months)**. Then, whenever the user wants to activate that role, he needs to ask for it indicating the time he needs the privilege (e.g. 3 hours). Then an **admin needs to approve** the request.\
Note that the user will also be able to ask to **extend** the time.

Moreover, **PIM send emails** whenever a privileged role is being assigned to someone.

<figure><img src="../../../images/image (354).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When PIM is enabled it's possible to configure each role with certain requirements like:

- Maximum duration (hours) of activation
- Require MFA on activation
- Require Conditional Access acuthenticaiton context
- Require justification on activation
- Require ticket information on activation
- Require approval to activate
- Max time to expire the elegible assignments
- A lot more configuration on when and who to send notifications when certain actions happen with that role

### Conditional Access Policies

{{#endref}}

### Entra Identity Protection

Entra Identity Protection is a security service that allows to **detect when a user or a sign-in is too risky** to be accepted, allowing to **block** the user or the sig-in attempt.

It allows the admin to configure it to **block** attempts when the risk is "Low and above", "Medium and above" or "High". Although, by default it's completely **disabled**:

<figure><img src="../../../images/image (356).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

> [!TIP]
> Nowadays it's recommended to add these restrictions via Conditional Access policies where it's possible to configure the same options.

### Entra Password Protection

Entra Password Protection ([https://portal.azure.com/index.html#view/Microsoft_AAD_ConditionalAccess/PasswordProtectionBlade](https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_ConditionalAccess/PasswordProtectionBlade)) is a security feature that **helps prevent the abuse of weak passwords in by locking out accounts when several unsuccessful login attempts happen**.\
It also allows to **ban a custom password list** that you need to provide.

It can be **applied both** at the cloud level and on-premises Active Directory.

The default mode is **Audit**:
