What's New in the Documentation Library for Azure Rights Management, December 2014

The following information lists the topics that contain significant changes since the last update (November 2014).

Requirements for Azure Rights Management

- Updated for the following:

Preparing for Azure Rights Management

- Updated to clarify that there no specific groups that you must enable for mailboxes; instead, enable mailboxes for the groups that you will use with Azure Rights Management. For example, when you configure custom templates in the Azure Management Portal, you cannot select groups unless they are mailbox-enabled.

Configuring Custom Templates for Azure Rights Management

- Updated the Exchange Online Only subsection in the Refreshing templates for users section, with the additional step to run the Set-RMSTemplate cmdlet with the Type parameter set to Distribution for each template that you want displayed in OWA.

Deploying the Azure Rights Management Connector

- Updated for the following:

  • In the introduction, clarified that If you manage your own tenant key for Azure RMS (the bring you own key, or BYOK scenario), the RMS connector and the on-premises servers that use it do not access the hardware security module (HSM) that contains your tenant key. This is because all cryptographic operations that use the tenant key are performed in Azure RMS, and not on-premises.
  • A tip in the prerequisites section that if you are using Outlook Web Access or mobile devices that use Exchange ActiveSync IRM and it is critical that you maintain access to emails and attachments that are protected by Azure RMS, we recommend that you deploy a load-balanced group of connector servers to ensure high availability.
  • Added the mailbox server role as also requiring configuration to use the RMS connector when you use Exchange Server 2013.
