Azure Active Directory is the identity of Microsoft and access management service by which users can sign in to their cloud accounts.

Microsoft said in the Microsoft 365 Service health status page that existing sessions were not affected by the outage.

The page said that the affected users were asked to keep the existing sessions going on and avoid the re-authentication of Microsoft 365 services. A Microsoft 365 service which leverages the authentication of Azure Active Directory might get affected by this issue.
