Why is it called that? What’s the semantics behind it?
It's a directory of users, contacts, settings and files that is actively updated in real time
great explanation.
...so what's an Entra?
Thanks! I knew it managed account stuff, but I wasn’t sure why it was called that. It always sounded weirdly obtuse.
The name originates from the old X.500 Directory protocol which was used in early networks
Which part?
