Dynamics 365 for tablets and IFD

Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) on-premises deployments require Internet Facing Deployment (IFD) for users to access their data on their tablets. If you have your Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) website available over the internet but it is not using the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) IFD configuration, it is not supported. To verify that your on-premises deployment is configured for IFD, open Dynamics 365 Deployment Manager on your Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) Server. The Authentication Summary section should show that both Claims-Based Authentication and Internet-Facing Deployment are enabled.
