Microsoft Entra Self-Hosted changes how identity runs in your stack

Entra Self-Hosted delivers Microsoft’s identity platform in your own environment. It is the same authentication backbone found in Azure, but hosted on your servers or private cloud. It supports granular access rules, conditional logic, and modern authentication protocols—OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML—with the speed and precision you need.

Deploying Microsoft Entra Self-Hosted means breaking free from shared tenancy risks. You define your data boundaries. You decide update windows. Integration hooks connect directly into your CI/CD pipelines and your app stack without routing sensitive identity traffic to external endpoints.

Configuration is straightforward: run the installer, point it to your directory, set up federation, and fine-tune claims mapping. Role-based access control (RBAC) works exactly as in the cloud variant, but with on-prem performance characteristics. High availability can be achieved using load balancers and replica nodes. The platform supports seamless failover, giving you zero downtime during critical updates.

Security hardening is built in. Transport Layer Security is enforced by default. Audit logs are full and exportable to SIEM tools for real-time monitoring. Microsoft Entra Self-Hosted also integrates with multifactor authentication, hardware tokens, and passwordless schemes.

For engineers seeking tighter compliance, local hosting removes geopolitical data transfer concerns. You keep your identity data inside your jurisdiction, meeting regulations without compromising on feature depth.

If you need authentication to be both modern and fully under your control, deploy Microsoft Entra Self-Hosted. See it live in minutes—connect it with hoop.dev and run the stack yourself.
