App proxy external URL access

Hi

 

If a user has access to an on-prem app that is published via App Proxy using passthrough authentication, can the user access the external URL if they are not assigned the app in Azure AD?

 

Many thanks

  • Hi stromnessian 

    Not sure if you've already gotten your answer but I do have an App Proxy with passthrough authentication that is operational even if they are not assigned the app in Azure AD. My understanding is that:

    - you would only need to assign the app in Azure AD if you choose your App Proxy Pre Authentication method to "Azure Active Directory"

    - passthrough authentication bypasses Azure AD


    I've also stumbled upon this really helpful video to understand how both app proxy authentications work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXHbYSRSpic

     

    Good luck!
