Hello, let's now talk about
how you can enable and test Azure AD Application proxy.
To do this there are five main steps,
first, you'll need to download and register the connector that
lightweight on-premises agent then you'll need to
configure each application in the azure portal.
Third, you'll want to configure any Single sign-on that the
application may need. Fourth, you'll need to assign a user
and fifth you can test the application.
Let's take a look at how you would do each of these steps,
so in order to configure application proxy
you'll need to be in the azure portal.
When you go to the azure portal make sure that
you've gone to Azure Active Directory.
Now the first step was to download
and register a connector the way you do that
is by going to the application proxy menu.
Now from here you'll be able to
manage all of your connectors which includes download the connector
so, you can click on that once you accept the terms
then you'll be prompted to
download the connector and run that.
Now when you click run you will see this
installer here, you can agree to the
terms and conditions and click install
you will also be asked to authenticate
as a global administrator to make sure that only global admins are
allowing this access to on-premises resources.
Once the connector registration is
complete and the installation is complete, you will see the
connector appear here in the menus below.
Step two was to create the application in the azure portal
so to do that, we'll now go over to enterprise applications.
Once here you'll go to the top click New application
and in this case we're looking to add
an on-premises application so you'll select the middle icon.
From here, you'll go through
and fill out some basic information about
your application. What you want the name to be,
the internal URL which is the internet site that
a user would use to get to the application
when on the company network,
the external URL that you want to provide for them
and then a few other configurations.
Once you've filled that out,
so I'm just going to slide over here,
and you can go ahead and click Add.
Once you click Add, this application will be added to the portal
and you will next be able to come and configure additional settings.
So you will come into this application specific menu after you click Add
and from here you want to go to Single sign-on.
This is where you can configure any sign-on depending on
the authentication method expected by your back-end application.
There are many different options here,
and depending on the one you select, you will get different fields here
to help with the authentication process.
Step four, was to assign users to the application.
So you'll need to go to the Users and group menu
from which you can click an Add user
and go ahead and add additional users to the application.
The Single sign-on end-users process
is the same as what you will have seen
for any other applications in the Azure portal.
Now, finally once you've done all of that you can go ahead and test the application.
There are two ways you can do that.
One of them is through the Access panel.
When you're here, you will see Application Proxy Apps listed
the same way as other applications
and all you need to do from here is to click on it.
What you can also do is
to navigate directly to the external application URL,
that you configured when publishing the App.
With these five steps you've now deployed
your Application Proxy applications
and you've also done some basic tests.
In the next video, we'll learn more about
how to actually deploy this completely and additional considerations
as you move this into production.
