Name Suffix Routing into the rescue publishing Non-Claims-Aware application using Kerberos Constrained Delegation

Last week I faced a challenge publishing non-claims-aware application (SharePoint 2013) using Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD) by Web Application Proxy (WAP).

ADFS cross forest Mirosoft Intune Infrastructure

The customer environment consists of a multi-forest active directory where user accounts and server objects each stored in a separate forest. Due to the introduction of Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) we added a public User Principal Name (UPN) which was required to log on using a public domain namespace.

Troubleshooting: Federation for Windows Intune

During a Windows Intune proof of concept (PoC) I was facing some issues configuring federation in order to enable Signle Sign On (SSO).

Proxy Authentication

When configuring federation we couldn’t convert the the default domain to a federated domain type. By using the –Verbose –Debug parameters of convert –MsolDomainToFederated cmdlet the root cause became clear. Proxy Authentication was required and therefore we couldn’t convert the domain. One down two to go!
