Requirements

  • A Microsoft Azure account (activated)
  • A virtual network and subnet in Azure with connectivity to on-premises resources through a site-to-site VPN
  • Resources installed on-premises.

    There are no components that must be installed on-premises. However, if an Azure VM is used to support the Log Database, a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server must be installed. Microsoft Azure SQL Database is not supported.

  • Azure virtual machines must be configured to support everything that an on- premises installation would be required to support. For example:
    • The virtual machine must have a static IP address.
    • Local domain rights are needed to install the product.
    • By default, the ports listed on the Web Protection tab of this Excel spreadsheet must be open.
    • The same system requirements must be met.
  • Traffic must be explicitly routed to Content Gateway by configuring the client’s Internet browser. See Content Gateway Help for details.

    Transparent redirection of user traffic is not supported.

Recommendations: To speed up user authentication, a directory service that mirrors the on-premises directory service should be installed on an Azure virtual machine.
