In order to use it, it's needed to install the **`Microsoft Entra Connect Sync`** agent in a server inside your AD environment. This agent will be the one taking care of the synchronization from the AD side.

[From the docs:](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-pta) Microsoft Entra pass-through authentication allows your users to **sign in to both on-premises and cloud-based applications using the same passwords**. This feature provides your users a better experience - one less password to remember, and reduces IT helpdesk costs because your users are less likely to forget how to sign in. When users sign in using Microsoft Entra ID, this feature validates users' passwords directly against your on-premises Active Directory.

This feature is an **alternative to Microsoft Entra password hash synchronization**, which provides the same benefit of cloud authentication to organizations. However, certain organizations wanting to enforce their on-premises Active Directory security and password policies, can choose to use Pass-through Authentication instead. Review this guide for a comparison of the various Microsoft Entra sign-in methods and how to choose the right sign-in method for your organization.**

In PTA **identities** are **synchronized** but **passwords aren't** like in PHS.

The authentication is validated in the on-prem AD and the communication with cloud is done by an **authentication agent** running in an **on-prem server** (it does't need to be on the on-prem DC).
