Hi, for anyone coming across this post, I found you can have a single Azure app for both RD Web and Gateway (on same box), enforcing Azure pre-auth for both. This disallows bypassing using RDP connection with gateway set. But you must use IE with the active x plugin to provide the SSO from web to gateway. I followed the steps below, works perfectly. Although you have to authenticate again on the RDWeb page, it does achieve the goal of enforcing MFA. -us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-integrate-with-remote-desktop-services

Since the Public IP of the servers is not exposed, you need to add users to the proxy access list for the FrontEnd proxy. Adding permission to fronted proxy adds the application under applications.microsoft.com portal for each user so they don't have to remember any URL to join to a remote desktop.

In this step, you'll install the Application Proxy agent on your application server or RD Gateway server. You must make sure that internal URL of the RDS application is accessible from the server that gets the proxy agent.

Hi Arjan. Have you actually tried the load balancer setup in combination with Azure Application proxy and 2 RD web/gw servers? I cannot get it working correctly, and this article describes the issue very well -ad-application-proxy-iis//Ulrik

Often the case when needing to present such applications out to the internet, you have to depend on VPN-type solutions for security, proxies, DMZ extensions of your applications, or else modify different firewalls to accept direct traffic to your internal resources. Using Application Proxy, a Proxy Connector is installed on a server in your internal network, which acts as the broker (reverse-proxy) to provide you with access to that application. No need to deal with VPNs or firewall rules, just allow ports 80 and 443 from the Connector out to the internet.

When providing secure, external access to applications via Application Proxy, you must install a Proxy Connector on your internal network, ideally close to the applications you publish. A connector is a lightweight agent that is installed on Server 2012 R2 or 2016 as noted above. This component acts as a proxy, relaying the web application traffic between your web browser and the backend web servers that host the application.

We have a tfs server, 2019, on-premises with a local ad synced to azure ad. From this post, I understand that we can use the proxy to make sure that we can access the tfs with Azure AD creds. But we also have users from other tenants that need access to that tfs. Is that possible with the proxy? If the other tenant users are invited into the synced azure ad, would that be enough?

Hello. As per -us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-security, rather than traffic being routed from client browser to back-end service, the client traffic is terminated at Azure. A new stream from the Proxy connector is established to the back-end service. Regarding attacks, I would be implementing something in front of Proxy connectors to inspect the incoming client requests.

Hi George. Thanks for your great work!Regarding the WAF. Where should be implemented the WAF exactly? Between Proxy connectors and Proxy Service? Or between Proxy Service and the Client?My question is for this scenario: -us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/what-is-application-proxy

The application proxy can be installed on Windows server 2012 R2 and up. I will install the proxy on Windows server 2019 which means I have to disable HTTP2 protocol support in the WinHTTP component for Kerberos Constrained Delegation.

Network traffic between hosts, including between clients and servers, is encrypted based on an initial negotiation.When you disable negotiation options on devices, but these negotiation options are not (yet) available on the Windows Server installation(s) your device is unable to perform a negotiation.Up to Windows Server 2016, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are not enabled by default for the Operating System or .Net-based applications.

To launch the Proxy Manager utility: Open the Start Menu and go to Duo Security. Click the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager icon to launch the application. You must have administrative privileges on the Windows server and accept the prompt for elevation. The Proxy Manager launches and automatically opens the %ProgramFiles%\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\conf\authproxy.cfg file for editing.

Once you have the Data Flow server installed locally, you probably want to get started with orchestrating the deployment of readily available pre-built applications into coherent streaming or batch data pipelines. We have guides to help you get started with both Stream and Batch processing.

Once you have the Data Flow server installed on Cloud Foundry, you probably want to get started with orchestrating the deployment of readily available pre-built applications into coherent streaming or batch data pipelines. We have guides to help you get started with both Stream and Batch processing.

Once you have the Data Flow server installed on Kubernetes, you probably want to get started with orchestrating the deployment of readily available pre-built applications into a coherent streaming or batch data pipelines. We have guides to help you get started with both Stream and Batch processing.

Similar to Spring Cloud Data Flow server, you can configure both the stream and task applications to resolve the centralized properties from the configuration server.Setting the spring.cloud.config.uri property for the deployed applications is a common way to bind to the configuration server.See the Spring Cloud Config Client reference guide for more information. 2b1af7f3a8
