Disable Entra Connect Seamless SSO – Step-by-Step Guide
Seamless Single Sign-On (Seamless SSO) is an optional feature in Microsoft Entra Connect that enables domain-joined Windows devices on the internal network to automatically sign in to Microsoft Entra ID without requiring users to re-enter their credentials. Seamless SSO extends Active Directory by providing a single sign-on mechanism for cloud services such as Microsoft 365 and connected SaaS applications. During configuration, Active Directory uses the Kerberos authentication protocol and creates a dedicated computer account named AZUREADSSOACC in the on-premises directory. This account links the local identity to Entra ID and is used exclusively for seamless SSO operations.
