Azure Active Directory Integration Guide

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. By integrating Yeastar P-Series Software Edition with Azure Active Directory, you can synchronize the Azure AD users and groups to PBX, and allow the synced Azure AD users to securely log in to Linkus UC Clients with Single Sign-on (SSO) by their Microsoft accounts.

Requirements

  • Azure Active Directory Edition: Free, Office 365 apps, Premium P1, or Premium P2
  • PBX Server: Version 83.8.0.25 or later
    Important: Outlook contacts synchronization and Teams user presence synchronization are only available for version 83.10.0.30 or later.

Key features

The integration of Yeastar P-Series Software Edition and Azure Active Directory provides the following key features:

User and group synchronization
The integration provides one-way synchronization, mapping your Azure AD users and groups to PBX's directory. Changes made on the synced users and groups within the Azure Active Directory will be automatically updated to PBX, thus implementing automated administration.
Auto extension assignment for Azure AD users
PBX automatically creates and assigns extensions for the synced Azure AD users, via which the users can utilize the unified communications features of the PBX.
Single Sign-on (SSO)
PBX supports a secure Single Sign-on (SSO) feature, allowing the synced Azure AD users to securely log in to Linkus Web Client and Mobile Client by their Microsoft accounts.
Outlook contacts synchronization
One-way Synchronization of Outlook contacts to PBX and Linkus clients, including personal Outlook contacts and shared contacts from Outlook shared mailboxes.
Teams user presence synchronization
Automatically synchronize Azure AD users' Teams user presence to their PBX extension presence.
