Hello Team,

I'm searching for Azure service availability details to configure security controls in the tenant hosted in China. Especially MFA, Authentication Methods, PowerShell / CloudShell seems to be unavailable.

Is there any portal or detailed list of Azure China Features [with respect to security] ?

    Hello @Lokesh Kumar ,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    You must specify environment name parameters while accessing National cloud Ex: Connect-AzureAD -AzureEnvironmentName AzureChinaCloud in this case authentication request would redirect to https://login.partner.microsoftonline.cn/ rather https://login.microsoftonline.com when connecting to Global Azure AD endpoint by running just Connect-AzureAD.

    The following table lists the base URLs for the Azure AD endpoints used to acquire tokens for each national cloud.

    National cloud Azure AD authentication endpoint
    Azure AD for US Government https://login.microsoftonline.us
    Azure AD Germany https://login.microsoftonline.de
    Azure AD China operated by 21Vianet https://login.partner.microsoftonline.cn
    Azure AD (global service) https://login.microsoftonline.com

    Azure Portal:

    National cloud Azure AD portal endpoint
    Azure AD for US Government https://portal.azure.us
    Azure AD Germany https://portal.microsoftazure.de
    Azure AD China operated by 21Vianet https://portal.azure.cn
    Azure AD (global service) https://portal.azure.com

    You may experience error link below when you try using account that doesn't belong to respective national cloud, Ex: My tenant was created in Global cloud environment when I access through Azure China 21Vianet then it doesn't login.
