Enhancing Security with AWS Verified Access and Microsoft Entra ID Integration

Networking & Content Delivery Blog



AWS Verified Access has enhanced its security capabilities by introducing support for directly inspecting ID token claims from identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Now supports retrieving user claims from both ID tokens and Userinfo endpoints
  • Enables group-based access control using OpenID Connect authentication flow
  • Uses Cedar policy language to create fine-grained access policies
  • Allows administrators to create context-aware authorization rules
  • Supports inspecting user group memberships directly from ID tokens

This new feature provides organizations with more flexible and sophisticated methods of managing resource access, improving security and interoperability across different identity providers.
