Windows Admin Center - websocket support

Hi,

 

Using the Windows Admin Center through Azure application proxy is wonderfull and works amazing except Powershell, Events and RDP. 

 

This is a known issue with Websockets which is still in preview for the Azure Application Proxy. Is there anything known about when this will be fully available?

 

Looking forward to a response.

 

Kind regards,

Daan

    I would also be interested in knowing if websocket will be supported with Azure App Proxy for Windows Admin Center.

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/bs-latn-ba/azure/active-directory/app-proxy/application-proxy-faq says:

    • Features (Eventlogs, PowerShell and Remote Desktop Services) in the Windows Admin Center (WAC) do not work through Azure AD Application Proxy.

     

    It doesn't mention if this is a "it'll never be supported" or if it's a "maybe one day"....

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      It's true it doesn't say it never gets supported however, this has been the status now for around 2 years if I'm not mistaken. I did find that websocket support is in preview, however this is since 2018 already.

       

      Hoping someone from Pernille-Eskebo can reply to this.

        Another two years roll around - it does look like "Features (Eventlogs, PowerShell and Remote Desktop Services) in the Windows Admin Center (WAC) do not work through Microsoft Entra application proxy" is a WONTFIX.
