# Enable Azure Active Directory Kerberos authentication for hybrid identities on Azure Files (preview)

This article focuses on enabling and configuring Azure AD for authenticating [hybrid user identities](../../active-directory/hybrid/whatis-hybrid-identity.md), which are on-premises AD identities that are synced to the cloud. This allows Azure AD users to access Azure file shares using Kerberos authentication. This configuration uses Azure AD to issue the necessary Kerberos tickets to access the file share with the industry-standard SMB protocol. This means your end users can access Azure file shares over the internet without requiring a line-of-sight to domain controllers from hybrid Azure AD-joined and Azure AD-joined VMs. However, configuring Windows access control lists (ACLs) and permissions might require line-of-sight to the domain controller.
