Azure MFA as Primary Authentication and Configuring Microsoft ADFS

2/29/2020

2 Comments

 
In order to setup Azure MFA as Primary Authentication with ADFS, this does require you to move to Azure MFA (cloud-based version). I have not deployed Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server (on-prem/hybrid version) in a few years for anyone as pretty much everyone I work with has moved on to cloud-based Azure MFA. Feature parity is pretty close to the same at this point and in my opinion, the days of Azure MFA Server on-prem are numbered. If you’re still on the on-prem Azure MFA Server, it is very easy to migrate to the cloud-based Azure MFA.  I’m going to assume you have a working ADFS environment already that is federated with Azure AD using Azure AD Connect for this blogpost for a step by step guide.

Configure ADFS and Azure MFA to work

1. Log into your ADFS server. In my example, I am using ADFS 4.0 with a Farm Behavior Level (FBL) set to 3 which means Windows Server 2016 and an Active Directory 2016 schema. You can always run the PowerShell cmdlet “Get-AdfsFarmInformation” on your ADFS server to show your FBL version. Go ahead and open the AD FS console:

Step by Step - Azure Application Gateway

​Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at the transport layer (OSI layer 4 – TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.

​Prerequisites
  • The NSG on the Application Gateway subnet and the backend server is allowing inbound access to ports 65503-65534 (v1 SKU) or 65200-65535 (v2 SKU) from “Internet.”
  • The NSG on the Application Gateway subnet and backend server subnet must allow port 443 from any source.
  • The User Defined Route (UDR) on the Application Gateway subnet is set to the default route (0.0.0.0/0) and the next hop is specified as “Internet.”
  • The Application Gateway Subnet must be associated with the UDR.
  • The next of the public IP address range of the Application Gateway must be specified as “Internet.”
  • The Application Gateway must not connect a virtual network which as a default route advertised by an ExpressRoute/VPN connection to a virtual network over BGP.
  • The custom DNS server is configured on a virtual network that must resolve public domain names.
  • For a public IP, you can create a new public IP address or use an existing public IP in the same location as the application gateway.
  • For a private IP, you can specify a private IP address from the subnet where the application gateway is created.
  • You configure SSL policy to control SSL protocol versions. You can configure an application gateway to deny TLS1.0, TLS1.1, and TLS1.2. Leave it default.

Microsoft Teams - Renaming a Channel without Breaking the Link to SharePoint

2/3/2020

​We know that renaming a Channel in Teams breaks the associated SharePoint link. It creates a new folder in SharePoint but when you access the files from Teams, it takes you back to the original folder.  Confusing and messy!!

However, I have a process to rename a Channel in Teams without breaking the link to SharePoint.

Before I change things, I want to show how my current Team is setup.
