STA integration with Entra ID EAM
This feature enables customers with Microsoft Entra ID to use STA to provide an external authentication method (EAM). Microsoft Entra ID can specify the authentication strength and method that STA must use.
When a user attempts to access a resource, they must first use an authentication method (for example, password) that is validated by Entra ID and then use additional complementary authentication methods (for example, FIDO key and/or fingerprint) that are validated by STA.
External authentication methods in Microsoft Entra ID is a Microsoft product that is in public preview. STA integration with Entra ID EAM is a preview feature. Contact Thales Customer Support to request access.
The workflow is shown in the illustration which follows.
