Hi everybody As per Carol’s introduction post , she's letting you know what's new and hot in the docs for this month. Reminders: Follow us on twitter ( @TheRMSGuy ) and join in our RMS peer community at www.yammer.com/AskIPTeam . Dan (on behalf of the RMS team) The Documentation Library for Azure Rights Management has been updated on the web and the latest content has Updated: February1, 2016 (or later) at the top of the page.
Summary of the documentation available: Getting Started with Rights Management | Configuring Rights Management | Using Rights Management | Administering Rights Management by using Windows PowerShell | Rapid Deployment Guide for Azure Rights Management
Plus, the Rights Management sharing application guides ( admin guide and user guide ) and FAQs (for Windows and mobile platforms ).
There were no significant doc updates for January, 2016, and no significant updates for the RMS sharing application this month. We value customer feedback and try to incorporate it when possible. Although we can't promise to make the docs perfect for everybody, we are committed to continual improvement. If you have any feedback about the docs for the RMS sharing application or for Azure RMS, email AskIPTeam@Microsoft.com .What's New in the Documentation Library for Azure Rights Management, February 2016
The following information lists the articles that have significant changes since the last update (December 2015). What is Azure Rights Management? - Updates for the following:- The Automatically protecting emails with Exchange Online and data loss prevention policies section to clarify that the DLP rule configuration is done from the Exchange admin center (and not the Azure portal).
- The Cryptographic controls used by Azure RMS: Algorithms and key lengths section, to explain how the cryptographic keys are stored and secured.
- Clarified the infrastructure requirement for web proxies, that these are supported if configured to use integrated Windows authentication with the user’s Active Directory logon credentials.
- In the Cloud subscriptions that support Azure RMS section, added a reference to the newly published Licensing FAQ for Azure Rights Management on the Azure Rights Management Purchasing page. If you have questions about licensing Azure RMS (and we know many of you do!), check this section first and then the FAQs.
- In the Mobile devices section, removed Windows RT 8.0 now that it's out of support (Windows RT 8.1 remains supported).
- In the On-premises servers that support Azure RMS section, added Exchange 2016 as a supported version for the Rights Management connector.
- Do files have to be in the cloud to be protected by Azure RMS?
- Are there step-by-step instructions to configure Exchange Online to use Azure RMS?
- Does Azure RMS work with dynamic groups in Azure AD?
- In the Prequisites for BYOK section, removed the (optional) entry for an Azure subscription and Azure storage if you want to log how your BYOK Azure RMS tenant key is used. With the new logging changes this month, no additional subscription or purchased storage is necessary.
- Added clarification for the protect=module parameter and value, to clarify that the protect value must be specified because the BYOK toolset does not support OCS-protected keys.
- Added clarification for the appname=simple parameter and value, when importing your key to CNG. If you used our previous instructions in this page to create a new key, we used the value of simple, which we then repeated in subsequent commands. However, if you are migrating an existing HSM-protected key for an AD RMS migration to Azure RMS, you will need to specify your existing name in this command and the commands that follow when they also use the appname parameter.
- Added a link to a new video, that shows activation from the Azure classic portal: How to activate Azure RMS .
- Updated the Configuring onboarding controls for a phased deployment section to clarify that user onboarding controls are not enabled by default, so if you do not configure these, all users will be able to protect documents and emails after you activate Azure RMS.
