Azure Files and ABE (access based enumeration)
Hi,
Does Azure Files shares support Access Based Enumeration? It seems it does not. If I was to use Azure Sync and front end with a Windows Server can I use ABE on the file share? This is a deal breaker as we use ABE on our shared folder.
Thanks
Hi Aragorn ,
As far as I know, ABE is a feature of DFS-N.
If you want to, you can integrate Azure File shares into your existing DFS Namespace (that has ABE turned on), this is supported, but Azure Files are not providing DFS-N capabilities. Please note, that DFS-R is not supported with Azure Files.
You will need to first enable identity-based authentication in Azure Files using this guide.
