How can I activate HTTPS on the DNS name that Azure provided?

Question

We have installed ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus (MSP) on the azure windows server 2016 VM.

Instead of purchasing a custom domain, we are using the DNS name provided by azure directly to the VM.

Example: <custom_name>.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com

We were using MSP without any issues so far. But then Microsoft decided to turn down Basic authentication for all and now we need to run with OAuth. To do so, we need to register MSP as an APP in AzureAD which accept domains with "https://" only.

To access the MSP we are using: http://<custom_name>.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com:80

Now, we have to integrate Azure AD login to the MSP for mail fetching service.

How to enable HTTPS on this internal azure URL (<custom_name>.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com) and provide single sign-on from azure AD to it?

Hello @Md. Robayet Ferdous ,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A. As per the query posted above I am not clear about the ask, however what I could understand is, that you are looking for a way to have either of of the two:

• To enable port 443 on existing server hosting MSP so that it could be accessed via HTTPS.
• To have redirect URI added to Azure Application.

Please do help me with the objective in comments section if above mentioned query and below mentioned answer does not suit your ask.

• To enable port 443 on existing server hosting MSP you could follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/nsg-quickstart-portal#create-an-inbound-security-rule

• To have redirect URI added to Azure Application please follow: https://help.servicedeskplus.com/oauth-authentication where you could choose EWS>Choose OAuth as the Authentication Type and redirect URI would be populated:

• Once you have it you could configure it in existing application by navigating to Azure AD>App Registration>Select the app> Authentication> Add a Platform> Web> Paste the "Redirect URI"

Please do let me know if the ask is anyway different from my understanding above so that I could assist with better answer.

Thanks,
