This content is relevant for the on-premises version of Web Application Proxy. To enable secure access to on-premises applications over the cloud, see the Azure AD Application Proxy content.

This topic describes how to install the Remote Access role with the Web Application Proxy role service and how to configure the Web Application Proxy server to connect to an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) server. Before beginning the deployment steps, ensure that you have completed the planning steps described in Plan the Web Application Proxy Server.

Note

This topic includes sample Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to automate some of the procedures described. For more information, see Using Cmdlets.

Configure CAs and certificates

Web Application Proxy servers require the following certificates in the certificate store on each Web Application Proxy server:

A certificate whose subject covers the federation service name. If you want to use Workplace Join, the certificate must also contain the following subject alternative names (SANs): <federation service name>.<domain> and enterpriseregistration.<domain>.
A wildcard certificate, a subject alternative name (SAN) certificate, several SAN certificates, or several certificates whose subjects cover each web application.
A copy of the certificate issued to external servers when using client certificate preauthentication.

Configure certificate templates

Depending on your deployment and authentication requirements, you might require additional certificate templates on your internal certification authority (CA).

To configure a certificate template

On the internal CA, create a certificate template as described in Creating Certificate Templates.
Deploy the certificate template as described in Deploying Certificate Templates.

Configure web application certificates

In an Web Application Proxy deployment you require certificates for the published web applications, and for the AD FS proxy if your deployment provides AD FS proxy functionality. For these required certificates, there are two options for the issuing CA:

Public—Supplied by a 3rd party.

A website certificate used for server authentication. If the certificate subject is not a wildcard, it must be the externally resolvable fully qualified domain name (FQDN) URL that you configure on the Web Application Proxy server for the application.
Private—The following are required, if they do not already exist:
- A website certificate used for server authentication. The certificate subject should be an externally resolvable FQDN that is reachable from the Internet. The certificate can be based on the certificate template created in Configure certificate templates.
- A certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution point that is reachable from a publicly resolvable FQDN.

Make sure that the website certificate used for server authentication meets the following requirements:

The common name of the certificate should match the name that you configure for the external URL of the published web application, or the federation service name.
For the Enhanced Key Usage field, use the Server Authentication object identifier (OID).
For the CRL Distribution Points field, specify a CRL distribution point that is accessible by client devices that are connected to the Internet.
The certificate must have a private key.
The certificate must be imported directly into the personal store.
Certificates can have wildcards in the name. A wildcard certificate with the subject name *.contoso.com can be used for web applications in the domain contoso.com, for example, sharepoint.contoso.com and owa.contoso.com. This wildcard certificate cannot be used for the website sharepoint.internal.contoso.com.
Certificates can be subject alternative name (SAN) certificates. For example, a SAN certificate with the names owa.contoso.com and crm.contoso.com can be used for only those two websites. It cannot be used for sharepoint.contoso.com.

Note

For Workplace Join, a SAN certificate is required with the following SANs: <federation service name>.<domain> For example, adfs1.contoso.com. enterpriseregistration.<domain> For example, enterpriseregistration.contoso.com.

Install the Remote Access role

To deploy Web Application Proxy, you must install the Remote Access role with the Web Application Proxy role service on a server that will act as the Web Application Proxy server.

Repeat this procedure for all of the servers that you want to deploy as Web Application Proxy servers.

To install the Web Application Proxy role service

On the Web Application Proxy server, in the Server Manager console, in the Dashboard, click Add roles and features.
In the Add Roles and Features Wizard, click Next three times to get to the server role selection screen.
On the Select server roles dialog, select Remote Access, and then click Next.
Click Next twice.
On the Select role services dialog, select Web Application Proxy, click Add Features, and then click Next.
On the Confirm installation selections dialog, click Install.
On the Installation progress dialog, verify that the installation was successful, and then click Close.

Windows PowerShell equivalent commands

The following Windows PowerShell cmdlet or cmdlets perform the same function as the preceding procedure. Enter each cmdlet on a single line, even though they may appear word-wrapped across several lines here because of formatting constraints.

Configure Web Application Proxy

You must configure Web Application Proxy to connect to an AD FS server.

Repeat this procedure for all of the servers that you want to deploy as Web Application Proxy servers.

To configure Web Application Proxy

On the Web Application Proxy server, open the Remote Access Management console: On the Start screen, click the Apps arrow. On the Apps screen, type RAMgmtUI.exe, and then press ENTER. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Yes.
In the navigation pane, click Web Application Proxy.
In the Remote Access Management console, in the middle pane, click Run the Web Application Proxy Configuration Wizard.
On the Web Application Proxy Configuration Wizard, on the Welcome dialog, click Next.
On the Federation Server dialog, do the following, and then click Next:
- In the Federation service name box, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the AD FS server; for example, fs.contoso.com.
- In the User name and Password boxes, enter the credentials of a local administrator account on the AD FS servers.
On the AD FS Proxy Certificate dialog, in the list of certificates currently installed on the Web Application Proxy server, select a certificate to be used by Web Application Proxy for AD FS proxy functionality, and then click Next.

The certificate you choose here should be the one that whose subject is the Federation Service name, for example, fs.contoso.com. If you plan on using Workplace Join, this must be a SAN certificate with the SANs described in Configure CAs and certificates.
On the Confirmation dialog, review the settings. If required, you can copy the PowerShell cmdlet to automate additional installations. Click Configure.
On the Results dialog, verify that the configuration was successful, and then click Close.
