About this course
This course develops practical capability in Hybrid Identity. Its course-specific content covers Identity topology, Synchronisation design, Authentication choices, Operational validation, followed by an applied project focused on design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Hybrid Identity or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of microsoft infrastructure & microsoft 365. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow
Deliver design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Identity topology
+
- Directory authority and lifecycle ownership
- Tenant-domain relationships and name planning
Practical exerciseApply identity topology to the design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow and capture the validation evidence.
02Synchronisation design
+
- Attribute mapping and matching concepts
- Scope, conflicts and provisioning failures
Practical exerciseApply synchronisation design to the design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow and capture the validation evidence.
03Authentication choices
+
- Password-hash, pass-through and federation models
- Availability, trust and recovery trade-offs
Practical exerciseApply authentication choices to the design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow and capture the validation evidence.
04Operational validation
+
- Sign-in tracing and access policy checks
- Monitor sync health and test account changes
Practical exerciseApply operational validation to the design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Design and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow.
- Implement the project using identity topology, synchronisation design, authentication choices, operational validation.
Practical exerciseDesign and validate an on-premise-to-cloud identity flow.
06Hybrid Identity — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
