On AD FS 2.0 or 3.0 home realm discovery page, there was an option to select the AD FS namespace from a dropdown list. But in AD FS 4.0 it has been changed to HTML DIVs and sometimes it can be annoying if you have many (100s) of claims provider trusts available to choose from. So there is a customization required to change the HTML DIVs selection to a dropdown list selection.
Before doing the customizations, the HRD page selection section looks like:

In AD FS 4.0 this customization can be done in an “onload.js”… [Keep reading] “Display dropdown selection list on AD FS 4.0 Home Realm Discovery page”

In this post, we will look at how we can set UI test project and application code so that we can test against scenarios that we face in a real-life situation (no connection, sync issues, authentication failures).… [Keep reading] “Enterprise-ready testing in Xamarin”

Automation and Creation of Office 365 groups using Flow, Microsoft Graph and Azure Function – Part 1

1st of May, 2018 / / No Comments

Automating the creation of Office 365 groups via an event triggered process can help business teams use a consistent template across all their groups, especially if there are numerous groups provisioned throughout the year.
For example, in our case we have 500+ custom Office 365 groups that are created and maintained each year. Hence in this case it became obvious we wanted to spin up an Office 365 group from a SharePoint list where users could make the request on their own.… [Keep reading] “Automation and Creation of Office 365 groups using Flow, Microsoft Graph and Azure Function – Part 1”

How to make Property Bag Values indexed and searchable in SharePoint Online
