Secure Identity for TAK/ATAK at the Tactical Edge

This post describes Strata's identity orchestration for TAK/ATAK: enabling enterprise-grade, phishing-resistant authentication (Microsoft Entra ID as primary, Keycloak at the edge for failover), LDAP–OIDC protocol translation, continuous health monitoring, local logging, and reconciliation when connectivity returns. It highlights operational benefits (real identities, uninterrupted access, local policy enforcement, full audit trails) and provides a step-by-step flow and deployment checklist for tactical environments.
