Configure Azure AD Conditional Access to exclude inSync

If your organization uses Azure AD with Conditional Access for authenticating and providing access to users, as an inSync administrator ensure -

  1. Druva inSync IP address range is defined as a Named Location in Conditional Access.
  2. The Named Location is part of the Conditional Access Policy Exclusion list. 

It is mandatory to ensure the above conditions, else Druva inSync fails to backup & restore Microsoft 365 data of all users and administrators.

Pre-requisites

  • You must be an Azure AD administrator with Conditional Access administrator privileges.
  • Get the IP Address range in CIDR notation for inSync Cloud by raising a case with Druva Support.

Procedure

  1. Login to Azure Portal.
  2. Configure or define a Named Location.
