SSL Decryption for Office 365 and Sharepoint

L4 Transporter

We want one user to access sharepoint and sharepoint only via the internet, everything is to be locked down.

 

We have gone through the KB below.

https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClTDCA0

 

It says to enable SSL Decryption. Do we need any certificate, Decryption Profile setup for this? Or the following setup is good enough?

Just want to let all know that following the documentation did not work.

 

Our client followed the steps below to allow one user to access sharepoint and sharepoint only via the internet while everything is locked down.

 

Objects > URL Category and created a new URL Category called SharePoint Online with all the URLs required for access to SharePoint Online.

 

Objects > URL Filtering and created a new URL Filter. All categories turned off except SharePoint Online and content-delivery-networks. Additionally;

               

                URL Filtering Settings > Turn on > Log Container Page Only, User-Agent, Referer and X-Forwarded-For


                User Credentials Detection > Use IP User Mapping and set Valid Username Detected Log Severity to HIGH


                HTTP Header Insertion > Create new called Office365

                                                Type > Microsoft Office365 Tenant Restrictions

                                                Headers > add Tenant ID to Value field for Restrict-Access-To-Tenants and Restrict-Access-Context

 

Now we create the rule in Policies

                Application > any

                Service/URL Category > any

                Actions > URL Filtering > the name of the filter you created above.

 

 

These steps ensured me that this only have access to SharePoint online via SSO and user could not access any other material online.

@FarzanaMustafa,

You'll need to actually configure decryption to get this to work, as your policy doesn't even include a decryption profile. More information can be found on how to do so HERE

Hello,

Also O365 and sharepoint dont like to be decrypted :(. I recommend you bypass these for decryption policies.
