What solution allows employees to log in to Azure resources with the same credentials used for local resources?

Using Azure AD Connect is the solution that allows employees to log in to Azure resources with the same credentials they use for local resources. This tool helps synchronize on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). By integrating local Active Directory with Azure AD, users can enjoy a seamless single sign-on experience across both environments. This means they do not have to remember different usernames and passwords for accessing local and cloud resources, enhancing user convenience and improving security.

In contrast, VPN access primarily creates a secure connection to the network, but it does not provide a unified login experience for Azure resources. Using individual Microsoft accounts does not facilitate the integration of corporate directory accounts with Azure, leading to separate logins. Creating multiple user accounts can complicate management and does not address the need for a consistent login experience across local and cloud resources.
