Ryan-

Depending on your needs it can either be on top of AD FS or in lieu of. It 
depends whether you want to have true single sign-on from your on prem machines 
or not, primarily. If you don't do AD FS, you can sync your AD passwords 
(actually, a rehashed version of the hash AD stores) and then people will sign 
in to AAD protected resources again with the same credential. For people on the 
LAN, with AD FS, they should pass straight through.

There are quite a few other benefits of AAD and the EMS suite which it is 
typically purchased as a component of. Let me know if you have additional 
questions.

Thanks,
Brian Desmond

Thanks a lot Brian, I saw the AAD announcement earlier while googling around, 
and it did sound very much like what we're looking for.  We don't do anything 
with Azure right now, including AAD, although I keep thinking that's an area we 
go into.  So would the AAD bit be on top of or replace ADFS for SSO?  I'm 
thinking we'd need to run both components but want to make sure my thinking is 
right.

I have done the authentication piece a number of times. On the AD integration 
side, I've usually seen this done with flat files and something like MIM 
(Microsoft Identity Manager) to process them.

Azure Active Directory Premium (AAD-P), however, has an interesting capability 
that may be of interest to you. You can configure AAD-P to do inbound 
synchronization from Workday according to some basic rules you define. The 
users can then be sync'ed back to your on-premises domain with AAD Connect.

Thanks,

Subject: [NTSysADM] has anyone integrated with AD and Workday?

Hi:
        I've been asked about linking our on-prem AD domain services with our 
HRIS system, Workday, which is cloud-based.  I'm wondering if anyone has been 
through this process?  From the Googling I've done, Workday does support ADFS 
for single signon, which is a good start, but I don't think ADFS will let 
Workday read and write information to AD objects and let it do things such as 
create user accounts or update information or read user information for its own 
database.  The obvious solution is to give them LDAP read/write access which 
kind of bothers me as I don't want some 3RD party reading/writing to our AD 
like that.  I'm wondering if there's an option I'm missing on how this works?
Thanks.
Ryan
