🔐 Microsoft Entra ID¶

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is the cloud‑based identity and access management platform used in the homelab to provide centralized authentication, OAuth2 identity services, and secure application access.
In this environment, Entra ID acts as the primary OAuth2 provider for internal applications protected behind the reverse proxy, enabling modern authentication flows without maintaining local identity infrastructure.

Entra ID integrates seamlessly with the homelab’s automation stack, allowing service principals, OAuth2 clients, and application registrations to be provisioned programmatically using Ansible.
