1.0 Introduction

SecureLogin Advanced Edition, hereinafter called the Advanced Edition, is a new SecureLogin server introduced to use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as an identity provider. As organizations are moving towards cloud-based identity providers, Advanced Edition is developed to support Azure AD. Advanced Edition will also be capable of supporting other cloud-based identity providers in the future. Using Advanced Edition, you can seamlessly migrate from an Active Directory environment to an Azure AD environment.

Advanced Edition is also useful when you are deploying SecureLogin for the first time and want to use Azure AD as the identity provider.

The SecureLogin client communicates with Advanced Edition for single sign-on (SSO) data storage and retrieval. When a user creates or modifies the SSO data, SecureLogin stores the SSO data in Advanced Edition. Advanced Edition stores the SSO data in a SQL database (PostgreSQL) and manages it.

The following diagram shows the Advanced Edition architecture:
