Ubuntu 23.04 with new installer and Azure Active Directory authentication is out – Computer – News


Thoughts you, that is Azure Lively Listing (AAD). Not the ‘unusual’ Lively Listing (AD). It is also within the article however not within the headline or within the first daring paragraph so I assumed I might make it clear. Edit: It has now been corrected, thanks Arnoud _O_

Additionally a wise selection as a substitute of the Legacy Lively Listing, which solely works nicely on-premise and is changing into more and more widespread on this related world. Even Microsoft now recommends a hybrid administration resolution (Azure AD with solely common AD for these functions and administration choices that aren’t but AAD-enabled). Azure AD additionally works a lot better with SSO options like Okta (or Microsoft’s personal built-in variety) which are commonplace within the enterprise world.

It’s exactly the onboarding of a brand new system through the set up that may be a drama with the outdated AD as a result of through the set up that takes place off-site it’s important to arrange a VPN to the workplace to succeed in your AD. Then it’s important to begin working with particular photos with your personal configured VPN software program in it. That is why AAD is a lot nicer for this, no less than for techniques that are not ready for the workplace community. That form of stuff is now not of this time.

As a brand new performance, I might now not use legacy AD in the meanwhile, however simply go utterly fashionable administration with AAD. In that respect it’s a good transfer as a result of Linux desktop administration with cross-platform instruments corresponding to Intune is now fairly restricted. There are answers specifically made for Linux (for Ubuntu, for instance, Panorama) however it’s good to have the ability to handle every part (Home windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS) in 1 place. We’re not fascinated by establishing a separate administration platform for Linux.

For us at work (about 200,000 endpoints desktop and cell mixed) that is one of many causes we will not formally assist Linux but, and I actually hope this can be a transfer in the fitting course. Intune is engaged on it, so is Ubuntu now, hope we will get some fundamental administration and WiFi certificates up and working quickly.
