Email authentication is crucial for sending email. It helps protect recipients from malicious messages, such as spoofing and phishing. By setting up email authentication for your domain, you can ensure that your messages are less likely to be rejected or marked as spam by email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Outlook.com. This is especially important when sending bulk email (large volume email), as it helps maintain the deliverability and reputation of your email campaigns. Please note that using Microsoft 365 to send bulk (mass) email is not a supported use of the service (more details below). What changed? Microsoft 365 email senders may meet new difficulties in…

We were recently alerted to an issue where devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are not properly reflected in the Microsoft Intune admin center report for devices with/without the Defender for Endpoint sensor. We've identified a bug that is causing incorrect counts for the number of devices onboarded to Defender for Endpoint and are working on a fix that is expected to be released later this year. The report is located under Endpoint security > Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and on the connector page. Note: This is a reporting bug only. It does not impact onboarding to Defender for Endpoint.

AKS Image Integrity feature allows you to check the authenticity and ensure integrity of the container images used for deployments. But do you know what the signing technology behind it is? Notary Project is a CNCF project established in 2017 with the goal to improve the security for software supply chains. In the past few years, one of the main goals of the Notary Project community was to implement a portable signature format that can be used to sign cloud-native artifacts including container images. How do Notary Project signatures work? Notary Project signatures are detached signatures that can be linked to the container image in any OCI-compliant registry.…

Hello friends,   We have received feedback from you—our customers—about the need to have user level language localization. We understand that users would like to receive notifications that have their text adapted to their local language, customs, and standards. We have added logic to check multiple places for language information to make the best possible choice for what language we should send an email in, and these changes are now generally available for Privileged Identity Management, Access Reviews and Entitlement Management. The new approach is: [ATTACH=full]54019[/ATTACH]Figure 1: Diagram showing how the logic works The system ch…

Why migrate to Microsoft Graph? Microsoft Graph is the future of Microsoft 365 development. It is the recommended way to access and integrate with Microsoft 365 data and services. However, we understand that many apps and tools are still using legacy APIs, such as Outlook REST API and Exchange Web Services (EWS), that were developed before Microsoft Graph. These legacy APIs are being deprecated, and now is the time to prepare for this change and migrate to Microsoft Graph. What is the EWS to Microsoft Graph Migration Guide Series? It is a new initiative to provide you with the guidance and resources you need to migrate from EWS to Microsoft Graph. The series will…

[ATTACH=full]53986[/ATTACH] Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you remember what happened in a movie but struggle to recall its name and can’t come up with the right words to search for it? Or, maybe you’ve had that moment when you have a picture of a product you wish to purchase but aren't sure how to find it online. Unlike traditional search systems that rely on mentions of keywords, tags, or other metadata, vector search leverages machine learning to capture the meaning of data, allowing you to search by what you mean. Consider the second scenario from the paragraph above as an example. In a vector search system, you can simply use the image of…

The on-behalf-of (OBO) flow describes the scenario of a web API using an identity other than its own to call another web API. Referred to as delegation in OAuth, the intent is to pass a user's identity and permissions through the request chain. For the middle-tier service to make authenticated requests to the downstream service, it needs to secure an access token from the Microsoft identity platform. It only uses delegated scopes and not application roles. Roles remain attached to the principal (the user) and never to the application operating on the user's behalf. This occurs to prevent the user gaining permission to resources they should not have access to. …

O avanço das arquiteturas de microsserviços levou a uma reorganização das responsabilidades entre serviços. Isso impulsionou a adoção de contêineres e consequentemente, soluções de orquestração como o Kubernetes. No entanto, essa abordagem trouxe desafios, como o acoplamento excessivo entre aplicações e serviços externos. Para mitigar isso, surgiu o Dapr, um runtime que permite comunicação desacoplada entre aplicações. Este artigo foca em apresentar o Dapr e como configurá-lo no Azure Container Apps, abordando funcionalidades essenciais e procedimentos práticos para uma integração bem-sucedida. Azure Container Apps O Azure Container Apps é a solução de orq…
