ms-lync-online

Hi All

Does anyone have any experience or customer with PAN and ms-lync-online

Is there anything else needed to allow access to the online version apart from allowing that application traffic through.

It seems to be working intermittently with the customer.

thanks

See page 43 and following of this pdf reference architecture.  You can ignore the Citrix portion.  These layout all the applications and protocols needed for the different Lync server zones on the Palo Alto.

Hi Steven , thanks but I had seen that already, in this case the lync servers are all external , I think Microsoft hosted so I am not sure whether we just treat it as users/Administrator  to FrontEnd or do we need additional access from AD domain.

I have never encountered Lync before so am unsure how it operates.

Hi Mpphelan,

Ms-lync-online depends on applications "apple-push-notifications ms-exchange ms-office365-base outlook-web-online stun web-browsing windows-push-notifications".

You are supposed to allow this applications as well. Kindly refer following document for more information.

How to Check if an Application Needs to have Explicitly Allowed Dependency Apps

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Mphelan,

Let me know for additional queries.

mphelan,

If the Lync system is all via the MS cloud, then I would agree you are looking at the exteral to Frontend permissions out of your network.

By AD access, do you mean that there is a trust for your internal domain to the MS Azure?

This would only require the users have normal AD access internally, the ADFS connector would handle the authentication part as a separate connection between Azure and your own AD.
