Goal: Have a user from one Azure AD tenant be able to have and login to their own exchange online mailbox (not just getting forwarded email) on another Azure AD tenant using their own original credentials.

So far I've tried adding a guest user, convert the account to a member and assign a licence. That creates a mailbox for them that another user can get delegated access to, but there doesn't seem to be a way for that user to access the mailbox using their credentials. The admin.microsoft.com portal let me reset the password for the account. (AAD portal did not because it recognizes it as an account from an external source) And then I could log in with that password.

So at this point, it seems like the mailbox account created is separate from the actual Azure AD account, which leads me to believe that Exchange Online has no support for multitenant access.

Is there some other way to meet this goal in Azure AD/Office365, or would the required solution be some kind of separate identity service?

Yeah, actually finding an open source project that's a good fit can be a bit daunting. You're probably going to have to invest a fair bit of time into just learning how things work before you will be useful, and you might get some support from other developers, but you have to be able to take nugets of information and figure things out for yourself. And it should be a project you're actually interested in.

If you want a project written in python, Salt might be a good one, since you're interested in sysadmin stuff too. It's modular, which is nice because it will be easier to contribute to a module than to the core. The Salt code I've read has been pretty straightforward to understand, so that would be good for a beginner.

Communicating with other developers could probably be a good place to find some projects that aren't fully built yet, which might be easier to contribute in some ways, since they might have less of their own framework for you to learn. (Though in something well established, you can learn a lot by reading their code, and their processes and experience the challenges as well as the good things)

Maybe here you could meet some other beginner programmers to work with? https://gitter.im/FreeCodeCamp/home

I have a project you could contribute plugins to, but if webs scraping for jobs doesn't excite you, then I don't recommend it.

Publishing your own project or contributing to an open source project is often the path to meeting those goals. I've mostly just seen internships as parts of training programs you pay for.

I've been pretty satisfied with Azure DevOps so far, but calling it 'Azure' seems to be a marketing move and ends up being a misnomer.

I love the fact that Azure can advertise giving customers DevOps for free.

Haha, MS clients can now say their company has adopted DevOps.

Reminds me of them commandeering Office and SQL.

MS certs can definitely give you an edge at companies that are MS Partners, since they need to meet certain requirements

I assume that that is going away given that the certs themselves are going away.

And the MS Partner track has long had the cloud/azureO365 on the list.

As its own competency. Now that other exams are retiring they'll be needed for other competencies.

It seems that the plan was that by June 30, 2021 MS Partners would have to have Microsoft 365 certifications or Azure certifications to meet the requirements instead.

However, it sounds like they're already giving a free pass to partners that are not meeting the current requirements https://blogs.partner.microsoft.com/mpn/responding-to-covid-19-microsoft-partner-network/

If they continue with the June 2021 plan, Microsoft 365 and Azure certifications may be in high demand in that area of the market.

@zenbu said in Setting up Nginx on CentOS 7 as a reverse proxy:

@JaredBusch I setup a reverse proxy with nginx for ScreenConnect, but the relay port isn't working. Can you provide your setup for how your relay is setup? Does it require two different IPs?

That's not HTTP traffic. You would have to set Nginx up for TCP/UDP load balancing
