Enabling remote access to SharePoint 2016 with Azure Active Directory Application Proxy

Question

One of the prereqisites for Enabling remote access to SharePoint 2016 with Azure Active Directory Application Proxy is

An Application Proxy connector installed and running on a machine within the corporate domain.

Can we use the same connector used for the exchange for this purpose ?

Answer 1

Hi @Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema ,

Per my understanding, it is recommended to create a new connector.

As the official article mentioned:

If the SharePoint site uses claims-based authentication, you must use the Add Relying Party Trust Wizard to configure the relying party trust for the application.

If the SharePoint site uses Integrated Windows authentication, you must use the Add Non-Claims-Based Relying Party Trust Wizard to configure the relying party trust for the application. You can use IWA with a claims-based web application provided that you configure KDC.

As for connecting to Exchange Server:

To publish Outlook Web App using Integrated Windows authentication, you must use the Add Non-Claims-Based Relying Party Trust Wizard to configure the relying party trust for the application.

To allow users to authenticate using Integrated Windows authentication, the Web Application Proxy server must be joined to a domain. See 1.3. Plan Active Directory.

Since we currently provide support for SharePoint and are not familiar with Azure and Exchange, you can also post a new thread with Azure and Exchange for more help.
