SharePoint Online auto-acceleration
- Hi Thomas,
I actually helped build and design this feature so I should be able to answer any questions you might have. Setting the auto-acceleration domain to a space should de-activate the feature.
The case you mention is when a company has multiple identity providers (such as ADFS) for their users. The common case we see for this is when a company has an IdP for different regions. For example, perhaps Microsoft employees in the US authenticate at Microsoft.com while UK employees authenticate at Microsoft.uk. Because we can only send one domain hint to AAD, acceleration can only take one of these values. If you were to enter Microsoft.com as your auto-acceleration value, UK employees would be directed to Microsoft.com with no clear way to get to their normal authentication path.
Hope that helps!

StephenRice So I noticed when we enabled this on our test environment, that it does trigger it for communication sites, it will automatically redirect to our 3rd party idp, but I when i try to access a Teams site, I am still prompted for the microsoft login page. How do I target all sharepoint sites, whether it is a communication site or team site.

Been a while since I've worked in this space but my recollection is that any site that has external sharing enabled doesn't get this acceleration by default (since guests usually can't sign in at your 3rd part idp). If you do have guest sign in enabled, you can use this property to forward on ALL sites: Set-SPOTenant (Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell) | Microsoft Learn
Hope that helps!
