re: What firewall ports do I need open to connect to Office 365 for Education?

Gavin,

For our federation services using ADFS it is using TCP port 443. I don't know if F5 APM SAML is tested or supported with Office 365. See here for a list of tested 3rd party STS/IdPs: technet.microsoft.com/.../jj679342.aspx and this for Shibb as an STS/IdP: www.microsoft.com/.../confirmation.aspx.

Typically, the request for SAML tokens occurs directly to the STS (ADFS, Shibb, or other tested STS/IdPs) in some cases the token request will come from Office 365 or directly from the requesting client to the STS via 443 when request is made from off network (Internet) e.g. mobile device, Outlook, remote web or Lync, etc.

Hi there,

Sorry if the answer is already on the page staring at me, but I'm just not 100% which of these ranges applies to my scenario...

I'm configuring Office 365 for federated security using our inhouse F5 APM SAML Service as a SAML IdP. I need to know which IP ranges to allow into our site so that Office 365 can redirect clients to our IdP for authentication, and of course the reverse for my outbound rule. Is it the range for Exchange online or Office 365 Portal? Where will these authentication requests come from? And wha ports? Just 443? Thanks in advance!

This post references SharePoint 2013 (Wave 15) version of Office 365.

I can't find the last screen in your blog. I did all the steps 1 to 8 fine, but how do I get to SkyDrive Pro now? I can only see the Sharepoint Team Site Home page, is this the same thing?

Does this reference the Exchange 2010 or 2013 version of Office 365? We have Exchange 2010 version mailboxes still...

Richard.

re: Update the Live@edu SSO Toolkit to maintain single sign-on access on Office 365 Education

Great idea, thanks Microsoft for telling us about this when you tell us our Live @ Edu is about to be upgraded to Office 365. If we knew about this then maybe we would have kept the Live@Edu tenant instead of doing the migration ourselves into our own Office 365 tenant.

Followed the instructions to modify the 4.4 version SSO kit to 4.5, and noticed that GetSLT now checks for UseEduSso app setting. It defaults to GetSltFromSsoProxy, and the proxy throws error saying it did not like the certificate. This is the same certificate which is being used on the same machine, for a working 4.4 version kit. When I change app setting UseEduSso to false, the GetSLT method goes to GetSltFromWLID, and user signs in ok, but debugger shows that the SLT returned by GetSLT does not contain the WLID: or O365: prefix, which according to documentation means 4.5 was not successfully installed. Help!!!

Wow - a great add-in that will have a huge impact for students who don't use email as their primary communications channel (and we know many don't!)

@ Wendy- does Max Toolbox have advanced filtering or security standards to ensure no inappropriate content is posted by students?

re: Get a Room! Enable Room Finder with Room List Distribution Groups

CAPACITY: Is there an extra step for Room Finder to show the capacity in ()? The mini-addressbook shown by clicking the ROOMS button correctly shows numbers in the Capacity column, so how do I get these to display? OR have you simply manually changed the Display Name to include (24) as text.
