Hi and welcome to this Authentication and Access for SAP on Azure course. This course will primarily look at integrating an SAP landscape with Azure Active Directory and how access control can secure an Azure-hosted environment from a user perspective. Authentication is quite a broad topic, and there are many applications that make up an SAP landscape. That being the case, I will be concentrating on the Azure end of the authentication process, not going into too much detail on specific SAP applications. There are no particular prerequisites required for this course other than a general understanding of user authentication and access.
