DoD Global Directory

About

The DoD Global Directory service provides an enterprise authentication mechanism for applications and services. Global Directory leverages Microsoft Azure Entra ID for primary user authentication. However, for applications that cannot be linked with Azure, legacy ADFS can also be leveraged.

The use of Global Directory was mandated by the DoD CIO for all DoD Office 365 tenants. However, any other DoD application or service that can leverage OAUTH, OIDC or SAML can also use Global Directory authentication services.

For more information on linking an application to Global Directory, please contact DISA ID.
