Azure Entra Id Authentication for Linux

Himmelblau is a groundbreaking solution that brings native Azure Entra ID authentication to Linux, supporting users on Microsoft 365 Enterprise plans. With Himmelblau, you can authenticate Linux desktops and servers using the same credentials you rely on for Microsoft 365 and Azure.

At the core of this solution is libhimmelblau, a custom authentication library designed specifically to overcome the limitations of Microsoft’s MSAL library. Unlike MSAL, libhimmelblau enables device Broker features and supports full device enrollment in Azure Entra ID. You can learn more about libhimmelblau and access the source code at https://gitlab.com/samba-team/libhimmelblau
