WVD and SSO with AAD Connect PHS/PTA
Hi Guys,
As far as I know in order to use SSO in WVD, we must have AD FS.
But what about below topology, when we use PHS/PTA as the synchronization method in AAD connect, also we connect WVD ...

Your client is not connecting to WVD via the internal addresses but via the hosted WVD gateway/brokers of Microsoft. This means your schema is incorrect.

Thanks for your reply knowlite.
Assume the WVD pool in my diagram means both WVD pool and hosted WVD gateway/brokers, is it possible to enable seamless SSO?
My main question is if we can use Seamless SSO(no ADFS) for WVD?
I found a blog saying below, but it's not from official MS docs, so I am afraid I cannot present this to customer as evidence.
""8: No Direct SSO using Azure AD Native – If you today are using SAML based SSO with for instance Azure AD or other iDP’s such as if you have end-users on Azure AD joined machines and want to provide SSO directly to a WVD desktop this is not currently possible and it requires that you have configured an ADFS.""

Not sure if anyone can help on this.
