Abstract : This paper conducts an exhaustive examination of the intricacies involved in establishing a robust Cross-Platform Single Sign-On (SSO) integration within the Azure ecosystem. The primary focus lies on critical components including Virtual Machine (VM) authorization, Active Directory (AD) registration, and domain join operations, aiming to provide a profound understanding of the challenges encountered in achieving seamless user authentication across diverse platforms. The exploration commences with an in-depth analysis of the VM authorization process, scrutinizing Azure's capabilities in securely granting access while ensuring adherence to organizational policies. Furthermore, the paper delves into the complexities surrounding AD registration, elucidating the requisite steps for seamlessly integrating user identities with Azure AD. Additionally, the research investigates domain join operations within Azure, offering insights into the challenges and solutions for establishing a unified domain structure. The study encompasses nuanced aspects of Azure AD domain services, highlighting the integration of on-premises Active Directory with Azure AD to facilitate a seamless SSO experience. The experimental methodology entails practical implementations of the outlined processes, with an emphasis on real-world scenarios. In conclusion, this research significantly contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the critical components involved in implementing Cross-Platform Single Sign-On within the Azure ecosystem. By addressing VM authorization, AD registration, and domain join operations, the study equips organizations with invaluable insights to enhance their identity management strategies in the continually evolving landscape of cloud computing.
