Support for Azure Active Directory

VMware Horizon 8 supports hybrid Azure AD, defined as virtual desktop pools that are domain joined to both Microsoft Active Directory and Azure Active Directory.

Supported Azure AD Deployments

Only Hybrid Azure AD deployments where Active directory is connected to Azure AD are supported. To connect your Active Directory to Azure AD, refer to the Microsoft Azure AD documentation.

Supported Horizon Pools

Hybrid Azure Active Directory for SSO is supported on instant clone desktop pools and Manual and Automated full clone desktop pools.

Single Sign-On into Azure AD assigned resources will not work until the desktop VM is in a state where it can issue an Azure AD Primary Refresh Token (PRT) on the end user login. See the Microsoft Azure AD documentation to learn more about Azure AD PRT.
