Before you begin configuring Azure AD integration with Zinc, if needed, any existing Zinc enterprise application must be removed. Before you remove existing Zinc enterprise applications, be sure to take note of any configured scoping filters for users and Groups, so that you can transfer these filters to the new application you create during Zinc Azure AD integration.

Then, to start the integration process, you create a Zinc enterprise application in Azure and configure application settings to establish connectivity between your Zinc instance and your external directory. After you configure admin credentials for the newly created enterprise application, your next steps are to map user and group attributes between your external directory and Zinc. Then, you configure user and group sync filtering, refine sync scope, and add users and groups to be synced to your Zinc enterprise application. After you complete these tasks, you trigger automated provisioning and monitor progress.
