The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows you to configure the Microsoft Entra ID user directory.
Configure Microsoft Entra ID
The user directory retrieves users and groups from multiple sources and syncs them into a selected Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Multiple user sources are available. The configuration steps required depend on the user directory you use. To add a Microsoft Entra ID user directory:
Go to https://se.barracudanetworks.com and log in with your existing Barracuda Cloud Control account.
In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to configure the Microsoft Entra ID user directory for.
Go to Identity > Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the User Directories section, click Add User Directory.
From the user directory drop-down menu, select Microsoft Entra ID.
The Add User Directory page opens. Specify the values for the following:
Display Name – Create a display name to represent the user directory. For example, if you are connecting to Microsoft Entra ID, you might use something like 'EntraDir' or 'EntraID'.
Tenant ID – Enter the tenant ID.
Click Save.
In the User Directories table, a new Microsoft Entra ID user directory has been added. Under the fieldname STATUS, you will see the warning Authorization Needed.
Click Authorization Needed. Provide your admin Microsoft Entra ID credentials and click Sign in.
The Permission requested page opens. Click Accept.
In the User Directories table, you can see that the STATUS is shown as pending. The directory sync may take a few minutes.
After directory sync is completed, verify that in the User Directories table, under the fieldname STATUS, the text has changed to Completed with a green check mark.
You can see that once you have added a user directory, the option Add User Directory is disabled. In addition, information under the fieldname LAST SYNC displays the time the last sync occurred. The fieldname SYNC RESULT displays the number of users or groups already synced. Verify that you see all Microsoft Entra ID directory users and groups on the respective Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.
Remove Microsoft Entra ID
To remove the Microsoft Entra ID user directory associated with your selected workspace:
In the left menu, click the Tenants/Workspaces icon and select the workspace you want to remove the Microsoft Entra ID user directory for.
Go to Identity > Settings.
The Settings page opens. In the User Directories section, you can see that the Microsoft Entra ID user directory is displayed.
To remove the existing Microsoft Entra ID user directory, click on the trash can icon.
The Delete User Directory <Name of Your User Directory> page opens.
Click Ok to confirm.
You can verify the following:
You can verify that the previous users/groups from the Microsoft Entra ID user directory are not shown on the Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.
For your selected workspace, you can now configure a new user directory of your choice. You can verify that that users/groups from this new user directory are available in the security policies drop-down menu and are shown on the respective Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages.
(Optional) Sync with Microsoft Entra ID
If you must sync the Microsoft Entra ID user directory quickly, proceed with the following steps:
On the Settings page, go to the User Directories section, and click the icon of three vertical dots to sync the user directory.
Click Sync.
The User Directory sync started pop-up windows opens.
You can see that the sync has fetched and updated the users and groups in the identity service associated with the Microsoft Entra ID user directory. Verify that you see all Microsoft Entra ID directory users and groups on the Identity > Users and Identity > Groups pages after successful sync.
