Dell Hybrid Client supports only on-prem user sync with Azure AD. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity
and access management service by Microsoft. It enables you to sign in and access both external and internal resources. You can
access external resources, such as Microsoft Office 365, the Azure portal, and other SaaS applications. You can access internal
resources, such as applications on your corporate network and intranet, along with any cloud applications developed by your
organization.
Prerequisites
