The http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585024.aspx has been updated on the web and the latest content has Updated: October 1, 2014 at the top of the topic.
Summary of the documentation available: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585016.aspx | http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585002.aspx | http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585006.aspx | http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj585027.aspx
Plus, the Rights Management sharing application guides ( http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn339003.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn339006 ) and FAQs (for http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/dn467883 and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/dn451248 ).
This month, we also updated the http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn673574.aspx for a link to the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40333 , and an update to the supported clients list so that Mac OS X version 10.8 (Mountain Lion) is now the mimimum supported version for Mac computers.
In addition, we want to draw your attention to a new section, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj585026.aspx#BKMK_HowRMSworks , in the newly revised topic, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj585026.aspx Based on the customer questions we've been hearing, this new section includes a high-level example of how Azure RMS protects a secret cola formula without sending the data to the cloud (a common misconception), a section to answer security-related questions about key lengths and algorithms, and a walkthrough section that shows step-by-step flows of how Azure RMS works. Many thanks to those who helped to review this topic and provide feedback that we've now incorporated - folks from the field and from the Active Directory Documentation Advisory Council. We love feedback that helps to make the docs more useful for others!
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 mailto:askipteam@microsoft.com?subject=Documentation%20feedback .
There are no significant doc updates this month for the RMS sharing application.
What's New in the Documentation Library for Azure Rights Management, October 2014
The following information lists the topics that contain significant changes since the last update (September 2014).
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj585026.aspx
- New section, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj585026.aspx#BKMK_HowRMSworks , which helps to answer those nitty-gritty details that your security team might ask or have concerns about, that you might want to know to better understand the technology, or if you're just curious.
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn655136.aspx
- Updated for the following:
- Added information to the http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn655136.aspx#BKMK_AzureADTenant section that if you have mobile devices or Mac computers that authenticate on-premises by using AD FS or a similar authentication provider, you must use Windows Server 2012 R2 or later for AD FS, or an authentication provider that supports the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
- The http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn655136.aspx#BKMK_ClientCapabilities table for the latest support statements, which reflect the new release of the RMS sharing app . With the new Office support by using protected PDF documents for mobile devices, we've replaced the previous PDF column with a Protected PDF column.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658941.aspx
- Updated to reflect recent changes in the Office 365 admin center. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658940.aspx is similarly updated. The Office 365 admin center had a few changes this month and our apologies if you had problems finding how to activate Rights Management when there was a delay in updating the instructions to match.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn750853.aspx
- Added the new question "Where can I find supporting information for Azure RMS?" to include useful links that relate to Azure RMS - such as service level agreements, certifications, auditing information, and privacy.
