Entra.News #42: This week in Microsoft Entra
Multi-tenant orgs, Entra External ID ❤️ Azure App Service, MIM to Entra migration guide + heaps more...
👋 Hi, Merill here with this week’s round up of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.
The big news of the week is Multi-tenant organizations going GA, along with new public previews for developers including a brand new Trusted Signing feature as well as native Entra External ID integration with Azure App Service.
This week, I was a guest on The Game podcast where we spoke about (surprise!) Microsoft Entra and passwordless. I also got the chance to show a live demo of Maester with a quick look at the Conditional Access What-IF automated tests. Check out the video below.
Enjoy!

👨🏽💻 Merill’s corner
This thread sums up a lot about the value of 🔥 Maester 👇. Shout out to Fabian Bader who wrote almost all of the tests for the conditional access policies. FYI The tests are based on the Microsoft recommendations in the Microsoft Learn docs.
