Announcing Azure Bastion now supports Microsoft Entra ID authentication for RDP connections to Windows VMs directly in the portal.
This update brings two key benefits for RDP users connecting to their virtual machines:
* Enhanced Security: By eliminating local authentication mechanisms, this feature reduces potential attack surfaces, helping customers strengthen their security posture.
* Seamless Access: With Microsoft Entra ID as the authentication method, users enjoy a simple, one-click sign-on experience—no extra credentials required.
This is a big step forward in making secure and streamlined VM access easier than ever.
