Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) kya hai? Explained in simple Hindi
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) ek cloud-based identity and access management service hai jo Microsoft Azure platform ka hissa hai.

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) : Azure AD multi-factor authentication support karta hai, jo additional layer of security provide karta hai. Users ko apne credentials ke saath ek extra verification method (jaise OTP, phone call, mobile app notification) use karna padta hai.
3. Conditional Access : Conditional access policies define karne ki suvidha milti hai jo different conditions (jaise user location, device compliance, application sensitivity) ke basis par access ko control karti hai. Yeh ensure karta hai ki secure access policies follow ho rahi hain.
4. Integration with Other Microsoft Services : Azure AD Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and other Microsoft services ke saath tightly integrated hai. Yeh seamless authentication aur authorization experience provide karta hai across various Microsoft products.
