Hi Mary,

 

This is really great, i think it will give more freedom to users t connect with applications without VPN.

I need your expertise to answer my few questions:

 

Background:

I am using OpenIdConnect for authentication and authorization with Azure AD in my application.
The application is deployed on Azure VM accessible through VPN and to make it available for users outside VPN we got suggestion to use Ping Access with Azure AD. I have few queries if we go with ping access:
Questions:
1. When i will hit domain name say abc.com how it will reach to ping access ? Currently on hitting abc.com it resolves to server IP on which application is deployed.
2. I have gone through some articles and concluded that there will be two urls for the application one for users on VPN and other for non VPN users, is that correct ?
3. Do i need to change OpenIdConnect connect code in my application ?

It will be really helpful for me if you or one of your team member can answer my queries. Looking forward for your response.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Tayyab Suhail
