Want to enable sso for Ubuntu machine with Azure AD

Hey Guys,

Hope you are doing well.

I want to enable SSO for On-Premises Ubuntu machines with Azure AD. I had nearly 150 user computers are present in On-Premises. Currently they are login their systems with Local user account. But we want to enable them to login their machines with their Azure AD account. Currently we don't have any Domain controller servers on both On-Premises and Cloud. We don't want to manage any domain controller servers. We just want to achieve enabling SSO with Azure account. Please suggest me if there any way.

Thanks & Regards,
Muthu Kumar M.,

Hi @MuthuSethu-0664, thank you for reaching out to us.

I have reviewed the query and I understand that you would like to enable the SSO for the on premises ubuntu machines by integrating them with Azure AD.

I am afraid, but we do not have a direct way to achieve this ask. However, we do have options to integrate the devices with Azure AD but that is limited to Windows machines for now.

Ref.: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register

If you would like to join the on-premise Linux devices to use Azure AD , you can enable Azure AD domain Services on your tenant , and setup a azure site to site VPN with the same azure VNET which is hosting the Azure AD domain Services managed domain and then use the following articles to join the Linux OS . The following article is written taking into consideration Ubuntu OS however , i believe you should be able to use same instructions on other Linux versions as well with maybe some additions/slight modifications of commands as per the package availability on different distributions.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/active-directory-ds-join-ubuntu-linux-vm#

However, if the Linux machines are deployed in Azure, you can also check the below article:

Hi @SagarGohil

Hope you are doing well, I agree with your answer but i want to making it done by using secure LDAP with freeRadius and PAM configuration. Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks & Regards,
Muthu Kumar M.,

Thank you for the response, and I am sorry for the delay.

I am afraid, for now the best option we have to achieve the ask is to have VPN setup, there is no other way to have the setup for now.

Hi @SagarGohil , I am looking into a similar scenario as @MuthuSethu-0664 . I am trying to connect to Azure AD via secure LDAP, since it provides an external IP, we should be able to connect?

If not how would you suggest connecting from Ubuntu Server? It would help a lot if you guide me on the same.

Thanks,
Shravan
