Analyst ReportDeprecated Identity Components
Microsoft has retired several identity components recently.
As Microsoft’s hosted identity strategy has begun to center around Azure Active Directory (AAD), Microsoft has discontinued several previously available synchronization tools that provided federation with AAD and third-party identity systems.
Information on the deprecation of previous synchronization tools in favor of AAD Connect is at blogs.technet.com/b/learningittogether/archive/2016/04/18/azure-important-upgrade-dirsync-and-azure-ad-sync-to-azure-ad-connect.aspx.
Recommendations for moving away from Azure Access Control Service are at https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/time-to-migrate-off-access-control-service/.
