Tutorial

It's always difficult to start somewhere. After much thought, I decided to devote my first article on Habré to the topic I am engaged in this moment- Office 365 in all its forms.

The site already had several articles describing certain components this service... We also wrote about setting up authorization using ADFS and synchronizing with Active Directory, but in addition to practice, a little theory does not hurt. Of course, it is impossible to tell everything, and it is not interesting, but important, in my opinion, moments are worth noting.

From my own experience, I can say that authentication in Office 365 is a rather complex topic, behind the seeming simplicity and obviousness of which, often, subtle nuances are hidden, the knowledge of which allows you to better deploy the system and reduce the time required to localize the problem. These are the nuances I would like to talk about today.

Office 365 has three types of IDs used to authenticate your users to Exchange Online, Sharepoint Online, Lync Online, and even Office Pro Plus.

Microsoft Online ID - regular account in Windows Azure Active Directory... This is an analogue to all of us familiar Active Directory, but adapted to work with "cloud" Microsoft products (for example, in addition to Office 365, it is also used for MS Dynamics CRM Online). Users are created manually using the administration portal or in bulk via a CSV file.
Microsoft Online ID + DirSync - the same "cloud" users, but represent a copy of accounts from your AD, created using Microsoft utilities Directory Synchronization or DirSync for short. Almost all basic attributes are migrated from on-premises AD, but user passwords are not migrated. User management is done partly through AD, partly through the portal.
Federated ID + DirSync - the system is based on the same principle of copying accounts from your AD, with the only difference that Active Directory Federation Service 2.0 is used for authorization. User management is done through local AD.

Comparison of identifier types

Microsoft Online ID	Microsoft Online ID + DirSync	Federated ID + DirSync
Audience Small organizations without on-premises Active Directory	Audience Medium-sized organizations with on-premises Active Directory	Audience Large organizations with on-premises Active Directory
"Per" Not required local servers	"Per" Local user and group management Coexistence scenarios	"Per" SSO topology with corporate credentials Local identity management Password policy is controlled locally Two-factor authentication possible Coexistence scenarios
"Against" Identity management from the cloud	"Against" Unable to topology single sign-on Two-factor authentication not possible Two sets of credentials with different password policies Server deployment required	"Against" High Availability Server Deployment Required

In practice, the third option is most often chosen. this allows for uniformity of accounts and simplifies user management as much as possible while maintaining complete control over access rights and password policies.

If with the first two options in technical terms everything is quite obvious, then when implementing authentication using ADFS, difficulties arise.

Before talking about the authentication mechanism, I will give a real life situation: a company of 1000+ users used Office 365 with authentication via ADFS. One not so good morning, users started complaining that their Outlook couldn't connect to their mail, but they still had access to Outlook Web Access, SharePoint, or Lync. The reason for the failure was a change in server policies and, as a result, the fall of the ADFS Proxy service. Several hours were spent to localize this problem, which could have been saved by understanding a few simple things about authentication in Office 365.

So, Office 365 uses two main mechanisms (sometimes called profiles) for authentication:

Passive mechanism- used for authorization in Office 365 services using a browser or single sign-on service.
The principle of operation of this mechanism can be illustrated by the diagram:

A user, using a browser or Lync client, requests information from the SharePoint Online service, Exchange OWA or Lync server and receives a response with a request to authorize on the Authentication Platform
Authentication Platform, upon receiving the request, determines that a federated identifier is used and requires providing a User Source Id, confirming the validity of the user in the local Active Directory), for which it redirects the request to the URL of the ADFS server.
The ADFS server authenticates the user in the local AD and issues a signed User Source ID to him
Armed with a kind of "passport", the user once again turns to the Authentication Platform, from which this time he receives a "cloud identity" NET ID.
This identity is further used to work with services

Active mechanism- used for authorization in the e-mail service using Outlook or when using the ActiveSync, IMAP, POP3 protocols.
The scheme is very similar to the previous version:

The principle of operation of this authorization mechanism repeats all steps, with the exception of one important detail- the user sends his explicit credentials to Exchange Online (naturally protected over HTTPS). Exchange Online, using the impersonalization mechanism, goes through all further stages on behalf of the user, including communicating with the ADFS server and obtaining a User Source ID.

Therefore, several key points to look out for are DNS, certificates, publishing, and resiliency.

DNS
In case of problems, you must always remember which DNS server the user is using. currently when authorizing on a specific service.

Certificates
If all your users are in corporate network and use only a browser and a Lync client to work with Office 365, you can forget about this point and safely use the self-signed certificate of your CA. But as soon as you have external users or want to configure your favorite phone to receive corporate mail, you will need a valid certificate issued by a trusted certification authority. As a best practice, even at the stage of transition to Office 365, you should immediately plan to purchase, if not a wildcard, then at least an ordinary one with a pair of SANs, not hoping that you have a unique situation and external users will never appear.

fault tolerance
It seems that the most obvious thing in any IT system, in practice, turns out to be the most painful. Making the ADFS server fault tolerant is a critical and often overlooked step when configuring federated authentication. Improving the reliability of ADFS is quite simple task using either a third party NLB or standard Windows Load Balancer (WNLNB). I understand that I am talking about the obvious things, but, unfortunately, many administrators do not pay attention to the topic of fault tolerance, trying "someday later" to deliver another server. Without going into details, in practice, the lack of ADFS balancing is the most common cause of problems with Office 365.

Publication
As soon as Outlook or ActiveSync appears in your Office 365 use case, the question is about publishing ADFS to the outside correctly. There are several possibilities for this:

Exposing the ADFS server to the outside is the worst and most insecure option used by administrators not from a good life.
Deploy ADFS Proxy - you need two additional servers and load balancing between them (again using third-party NLB or WNLB). Among the advantages, it is worth noting the simplicity in configuration and administration. There is almost nothing to break there.
Publishing via Forefront TMG / UAG is more difficult to set up and maintain, but much more functional. Allows you to extend ADFS functionality for external users and implement more complex Office 365 authorization scenarios. Some administrators manage to use TMG publishing and ADFS Proxy, which, in principle, is possible, but fraught with many complexities and instabilities that are difficult to localize.
External Reverse Proxy - can be any solution / device that does not modify SAML requests / responses, such as Citrix NetScaler or even a simple stunnel. The requirements for reverse proxy can be found

Hello dear readers of my blog. A few days ago I came across a very interesting material. In it, I found about how to quickly install Windows 10 without an account and why you need a Microsoft account. In addition, I have very interesting information about the clear advantages and disadvantages of updating to the tenth version of Windows using the local OS profile. I will try to give answers to all these and other questions by comparing two accounts differing in access.

It is a collection of all online products produced by companies, which are united by a common name. In cases where you are registered with programs such as Windows Live, Outlook and others alike - you are very lucky. You can easily activate in it using a previously created profile (and user password).

It is worth noting that, unlike the local one, Microsoft does not use a login to enter, but the address of your Email... In this case, the use of a fairly wide range of sites is allowed: Gmail, Mail, Yahoo, Live and Hotmail.

Such an account is equipped with a two-step user identification system. If you are logging into your account using a new or unverified device, you may need to enter a special security code.

Benefits of Installing a Microsoft Record

Free, fast, convenient use and recovery of the applications most important to you through the Windows Store. If you are the owner of any device on which the tenth version of Windows is installed, then you can enjoy all the best unique applications. Another clear plus is that by purchasing an application from one device, it will automatically become available on your other tablet, laptop, smartphone and other similar devices.
Allows you to avoid problems with setting the configurations of all your personal computers (the system can carry out fully automated synchronization of settings between PCs). With this function you can synchronize: themes, Internet browser settings, logins and passwords for sites.

Local account

Many users have noticed that using Windows 8, local accounting is very restrictive for user actions. Using it, you have access to the minimum number of functions and capabilities of the operating system. V new version Windows - all the strongest restrictions were completely removed, and the local status was raised (now it is compared with Windows 7).

This local account allows you to work with such office programs like: Mail, People, Calendar and others. In addition, the above described standard mail clients will allow the PC user to choose any Gmail profile. These innovations became great news not only for owners of one PC, for whom the parameter synchronization function is not needed, but also for those people who actively use software from the Store.

Considering the fairly extensive changes from Microsoft, we can make a bold conclusion - the corporation has managed to recreate an excellent balance between the two types of accounts.

How to install Windows 10 with a local account

It's no secret that during the installation of Windows 10, the installer requires a binding personal computer to your Microsoft profile. In cases where a person does not need to synchronize user data between various devices, you can do without creating such a profile or an online account. To disable the creation of such an account, you need to follow a similar instruction:

In the "Sign in to your Microsoft account" tab, find the item "Create a new account" and click the "Next" button.

In the window that appears, at the very bottom of the page, find the item "Sign in without a Microsoft account" and click "Next".

Wait until a special dialog box appears on the computer screen, which is designed to create a local profile of your operating system.

Come up with a username and password to log in, click "Next".

How to use a password to manage console login options

Each owner of the licensed version of the popular Windows operating system from the Microsoft software developer, in order to gain access to all the resources provided by the company, as well as to download new updates, must create his own personal account.

This is necessary in order to validate Microsoft that you a real man and you are not going to infringe their copyright. However, in view of a large number modern internet services such as social networks, payment systems, Email and many others who require their accounts with a unique username and password, it may happen that you forget your Microsoft account password, without which you simply cannot update the current version of Windows to the tenth version. Do not despair, not everything is so hopeless. As it might seem at first glance. All you need to do is read this article to the end and follow all our recommendations, and you can easily restore access to your account from the Microsoft online service.

Microsoft account: what is it and why is it needed?

As all users know, an account is personal cabinet to access any Internet resource or online service. Thus, in general terms, Microsoft accounting is a similar personal account on the company's official website.

To create your account, you need to go through the registration process on the Microsoft website and fill in your personal data. Which include name, gender, date of birth, occupation, contact information, address of residence and some other data. The main problem that arises when you lose access to personal account, lies in the fact that Microsoft services constantly track the location of the computer on which the licensed OS is installed and from which an attempt is made to update the system to the tenth version.

It is worth noting that the situation can be greatly simplified by opening the possibility of external access to the account from any other computer, however, in this case, the user faces many problems.

Basic ways to access your account

To illustrate the simplest and most common ways to access your Microsoft account, let's look at a common situation faced by most users. Suppose you have Windows 8 installed on your computer and you want to update it to the tenth version. To do this, you need to log in with your account. However, what if you forgot your password?

The first thing to do is calm down. Next, you should pay attention to the copy of the operating system. When you try to enter your Microsoft account, the username is automatically registered based on the location of the PC, determined by the IP address. In this case, it is much easier to recover the password if it was generated by the system and saved in a special file on the hard disk or flash drive. However, everything is much more complicated if you set the password yourself.

However, Windows provides many ways to restore access to your Microsoft account, even without connecting your computer to the network. This is due to the fact that the OS continuously monitors the location data of a person, the most frequently visited Internet sites, as well as the programs used. Based on this data, when trying to log in to your personal account on the official website of Microsoft Corporation, a report on the user's activity is generated and sent to the system for processing. This was created with the aim of increasing the level of protection of personal data from being stolen by intruders.

Therefore, before proceeding with the password recovery procedure, you need to understand what algorithm the authorization system uses.

Registration of an account and filling in personal data

It is best to consider the procedure for creating a Microsoft account and filling in personal data using the example of the Windows tenth version of the operating system. This assembly is best suited because during the installation process all system errors and bugs appear, and authorization and account data disappear.

The OS security system settings are implemented in such a way that, in order to improve protection, only passwords with an increased level of complexity are supported in order to exclude the possibility of hacking a user account. Thus, changing the password for logging into Microsoft account will not work even if you have administrator rights. At Windows update up to the tenth version, the operating system automatically generates an account and assigns it a personal login and password, which are necessary to enter your personal account.

If necessary, you can disable the need to enter a password in the security settings, however, to do this, you first need to log in to the Microsoft website under your account. In addition, sometimes the user will need to confirm access rights when downloading files or running some utilities. Such checks will occur even when working under an administrator account, which causes certain inconveniences.

It is beneficial for each company that their customers turn to the support service for help as often as possible. This allows corporations to maintain their rating, as well as to be constantly in touch with their customers and constantly improve the quality of service.

This trend is also observed in the case of a global manufacturer software Microsoft. To help users in case of problem situations, Windows has integrated "Support Service", which helps users if they have any problems. If the answer is not found, then the user can create an appeal, however, when compiling it, the indication of personal data will be required. Including residential address and telephone number that was provided when the account was created. To this number automatic system sends a special code required to verify ownership of the device.

Thus, having a work phone number tied to your personal account, and having access to your mailbox, you can request a password change procedure from a Microsoft account on the company's official website. After creating a request, an email will be sent email, in which there will be a link by clicking on which the user gets to the page for changing the password. After that, you need to set and confirm a new password, and you can use your account again without any problems.

It is worth noting that password recovery is still a flower compared to the procedure for deleting your account.

Microsoft account password recovery on mobile device

In everyday life, when you lose access to your Microsoft account on mobile gadgets running under Windows OS are just as common as in the case of desktop systems.
