Microsoft Entra ID Sync Connector Configuration

The Microsoft Entra ID Sync Connector enables automated integration between your Microsoft Azure Active Directory and the Qualys Admin application.

The connector captures the data of the configured groups and their members. The synchronized data is imported into Qualys Administration application, where user group memberships can be managed and applied. 

To configure the connector, you must register your application in Azure portal. For more information on the connector, see Microsoft Entra ID Sync Connector.
