The login screen fades, replaced by an access point secured end-to-end. This is HashiCorp Boundary working with Microsoft Entra. No VPN prompts. No static credentials lying in wait. Just real-time, identity-aware authorization.
HashiCorp Boundary is built to control and broker access to sensitive systems without exposing private networks or long-lived secrets. Microsoft Entra supplies modern identity and access management, connecting people, apps, and devices under a zero-trust model. When these systems are integrated, they form a seamless layer that verifies who you are, evaluates risk, and grants access without manual credential handling.
Boundary removes the need to distribute SSH keys or passwords. Instead it uses role-based policies and dynamic credentials generated on demand. Microsoft Entra centralizes identity, offering single sign-on, conditional access, and fine-grained control through its cloud directory. Combined, they deliver secure access to databases, servers, or internal tools without forcing users through legacy gateways.
Integration starts with configuring an OIDC provider in Microsoft Entra to authenticate Boundary sessions. Entra acts as the identity broker, while Boundary uses that identity to assign permissions tied to roles and scopes. You can enforce conditional access policies—such as MFA or IP restrictions—before Boundary grants the final connection. This reduces attack surfaces and ensures compliance with security requirements.
