Prerequisites
To get the most from this course, you should at least be familiar with the Microsoft 365 offering and have a general understanding of its features.
Application Proxy is an Azure AD feature that allows users to access on-prem web apps from a remote client. The Application Proxy offering includes a cloud service and an on-prem connector. The cloud service, called the Application Proxy Service, works with the Application Proxy Connector, which runs on an on-prem server, to securely pass user sign-on tokens from Azure AD to the on-prem web app being accessed. The Application Proxy can be used with web applications that use Integrated Windows Authentication, or IWA, form-based authentication, or header-based access. It can also be used with Web APIs that you want to expose to rich applications on different devices. Applications that are hosted behind a Remote Desktop Gateway can also be used with Azure AD Application Proxy, as can rich client apps that are integrated with the Active Directory Authentication Library. For organizations that require it, Application Proxy also supports single sign-on. The diagram on your screen shows how Azure AD and Application Proxy work together to provide single sign-on functionality to on-prem applications. As you can see on your screen, the process begins when a user accesses the application through an endpoint. When this happens, the user is directed to the Azure AD sign-in page. After the user completes a successful sign-in, Azure AD sends a token to the user's client device. The client then sends the token to the Application Proxy service. The Application Proxy service retrieves the user principal name and security principal name from the token and then sends the request to the Application Proxy connector. If single sign-on is configured, the connector performs additional authentication, as required, on behalf of the user. Next, the connector sends the request to the on-prem application that's being accessed. The response is then sent back through the connector and Application Proxy service to the end user. In the next lesson, we'll walk through a demonstration of how to configure Azure AD Application Proxy.
