AuthBridge: Seamless Azure AD Authentication for Windows Server Shares

Entra users face friction when accessing on‑prem Windows Server shares because legacy SMB permissions don’t natively support Azure AD identities, leading to manual workarounds or domain trusts. AuthBridge eliminates these bottlenecks by acting as an agentless gateway that maps Azure AD claims to local NTFS permissions, delivering instant, secure, zero‑touch access for Entra users to shared folders.
