Introduction

Use case #

AzureCP is useful when SharePoint is federated with Azure Active Directory using WS-Federation or OpenID Connect.
It runs inside SharePoint and queries your Azure Active Directory tenant(s) to find users and groups:

Compatibility #

AzureCP is fully compatible with all the supported versions of SharePoint Server: SharePoint Subscription, SharePoint 2019, SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint 2013.

Prerequisites #

• AzureCP 18+ requires at least .NET Framework 4.7.2 on all SharePoint servers.
• AzureCP 17 requires at least .NET Framework 4.6.1 on all SharePoint servers.
• All SharePoint servers need to be able to connect to Internet. Read this if you need to configure a proxy.
• An application registered in Azure AD with Microsoft Graph permissions GroupMember.Read.All and User.Read.All granted.

Features #

• Fix the search in the people picker.
• Get group membership of Azure AD users (augmentation).
• Query multiple Azure Active Directory tenants in parallel.
• Populate the metadata (e.g. email, display name) of the entities.
• Easy to configure through PowerShell or administration pages.
• No dependency on any SharePoint service application.

Customization #

AzureCP is highly customizable to adapt to your requirements:

• Connect to your Azure Active Directory tenant using either a client secret or a certificate.
• Customize the display of the results in the people picker.
• Customize the claim types and their mapping with Azure AD objects.
• Enable/disable augmentation.
• Enable/disable connection to Azure AD, to keep AzureCP running with limited functionality if connectivity with Azure AD is lost.
• Developers can deeply customize AzureCP to meet specific needs.
