- candiddevmike 3y agoSure, ADFS has been a thing for forever, but I don't think that is a good value prop for AD. Most online office suites and SSO platforms can provide SAML, and with a nicer way of managing users and groups.
- robertlagrant 3y agoAD is like Jira: it's not great, but loads of things integrate with it. You can do SAML or OIDC for more modern logins, and you can speak LDAP/AD for other systems, and all your Windows logins will just work. Also, your skills acquired 20 years ago on AD are still relevant, which is why as an IT head you'll probably stick with AD.
- steve1977 3y agoNot that SAML or OIDC are actually any better. They’re a bit like YAML or JSON vs XML in my experience.
