Announcing Azure Bastion now supports Microsoft Entra ID
authentication for RDP connections to Windows VMs directly in the portal.
This update
brings two key benefits for RDP users connecting to their virtual machines:
Enhanced Security: By eliminating local authentication
mechanisms, this feature reduces potential attack surfaces, helping customers
strengthen their security posture.
Seamless Access: With Microsoft Entra ID as the
authentication method, users enjoy a simple, one-click sign-on experience—no
extra credentials required.
This is a big
step forward in making secure and streamlined VM access easier than ever.
