D365 BC Reverse Proxy

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by airfrog 20

We have a Dynamics 365 Business Central deployment which we want to make accessible to users externally. We initially tried doing this using Azure Application Proxy (AAP). Accessing the web interface via AAP worked fine, but there were issues with the mobile app. When we contacted Microsoft support they informed us that Dynamics 365 was not supported by AAP.

If we publish IIS externally directly via our firewall everything works fine, but this is a security risk. Are there any supported reverse proxy solutions for Dynamics 365 Business Central? Would Windows Web Application Proxy (WAP) work?

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    Yes, the mobile app currently requires a direct connection. I do not know if there are other options available, but if there are you also need to be aware of limited support if there are issues.

    I am sure this has been raised a few times already and I personally worked on such a scenario. We did try very hard but we always did fail to get it to work while WebClient does work. Therefore the statment does come from the product group that this is currently not supported but feel free to vote for the idea (I am sure it has been logged by several partners) at https://aka.ms/bcideas.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. So there is currently no working/supported way of securing BC behind a reverse proxy with functioning mobile app access? That's a shame.

    The link you posted just redirects to www.microsoft.com/en-gb. What is the correct URL?

    Thanks again!

    Airfrog, may I ask you please to share your experience with AAP? How did you manage to make it work with BC?

    At my company which is fully in the cloud with very few on-premise apps (D365 BC is one of those), we use AAP a lot, but we did not manage to get a browser client of BC to through AAP, the blank page would be returned after authentication.

    Did you use any special configuration values in AAC to pass BC traffic through? 

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

    Yuri
