Microsoft Entra SCIM 2.0: Now with bidirectional provisioning

Entra now supports bidirectional scim provisioning
Microsoft introduced new SCIM 2.0 APIs for Microsoft Entra. The APIs now support bidirectional provisioning, which allows external identity systems to provision users and groups directly into Entra. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is an open internet standard that defines a common HTTP-based protocol for managing user accounts across different systems. Previously, Entra could only push user data to other applications via SCIM. Now, it also accepts incoming SCIM requests. The APIs follow a consumption-based pricing model, require an Azure subscription, and are generally available in the Microsoft public cloud.

Windows Kerberos RC4 deprecation: what will break in Active Directory and how to fix it

Windows kerberos rc4 deprecation might break active directory authentication
Starting in April 2026, Windows updates will change the default Kerberos ticket issuance behavior to AES-SHA1 for accounts without explicit encryption settings, while RC4 can still be used where explicitly enabled. This change, driven by CVE-2026-20833, affects every Windows Server environment where service accounts or devices still rely on RC4. Any service account, NAS device, or legacy application not explicitly configured for AES-SHA1 encryption may lose authentication capability. This article explains what Kerberos and RC4 are, what will break in April 2026, and what you must do to prevent outages.

Microsoft has introduced external Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as the new, fully integrated OpenID Connect (OIDC)-based way to connect third-party MFA providers, replacing the Custom Controls mechanism that previously enabled external MFA in a more limited way. Custom Controls will be deprecated on September 30, 2026.

Enable Preference Logging (image Microsoft)
Starting with the February 2026 preview updates for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, Microsoft has made Group Policy Preferences (GPP) debug logging configurable directly in Local Group Policy via gpedit.msc. Previously, these settings were primarily managed through domain-based Group Policy Objects (GPOs); enabling them via Local Group Policy typically required manually copying the GroupPolicyPreferences .admx/.adml templates into the local PolicyDefinitions store. You can now enable per-CSE (client-side extension) event logging and file-based tracing on individual client devices without a domain controller.

Disable weak RC4 encryption on Active Directory domain controllers to prevent Kerberoasting attacks exploiting Kerberos vulnerability CVE-2026-20833

Prevent Kerberoasting in Active Directory
Microsoft has initiated a critical security hardening phase for Windows Active Directory domain controllers to address CVE-2026-20833, a Kerberos vulnerability that enables Kerberoasting attacks by allowing attackers to exploit weak RC4 encryption. The January 2026 security updates mark the beginning of a phased transition that will disable RC4 encryption by default and enforce AES-SHA1 as the standard encryption method for Kerberos authentication.
