Resolution
These are the system requirements/prerequisites for servers running Archive Manager websites:
Under System Requirements > Supported Platforms > Table 7 > Browser Versions
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, 10, or 9
When using enhanced security on any server-based operating system, the Archive Manager Website must be added to the list of trusted sites to work correctly.- Microsoft Edge
- Firefox (latest version) running on Windows or Macintosh.
- Chrome (latest version) running on Windows or Macintosh.
- Safari running on Macintosh or mobile devices.
- Android browsers
Under System Requirements > Supported Platforms > Table 11 > Prerequisites for servers running Archive Manager websites
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 10, 8.5, 8.0, 7.5 or 7.0.
Certain role services are required to be manually selected and installed on the webserver in order for the Archive Manager Website to run correctly. These roles include Common HTTP Features; Static Content; ASP.net; ASP; Basic Authentication; Windows Authentication; IIS Management Tools and Scripts; and IIS Management Console.- Microsoft ASP.NET (a component of Windows, any supported Windows version).
- Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph (for working with Office 365 only): Please install it with the Administrator Account, or Archive Manager Application Pool's identity.
- PowerShell 3.0 or later versions.
The API web service endpoint can be configured to use Windows Authentication or Anonymous Authentication. When using Anonymous Authentication, the web service application performs security checks and authenticates the client using Basic Authentication (plain text user password authentication). When using Windows Authentication, IIS handles the authentication and provides the web service application with a confirmation of the authentication attempt.
When the Archive Manager works in a pure Office 365 environment:
- Please do not change the authentication mode to Windows Authentication because no on-premises Windows logins will be archived by Archive Manager in this scenario.
- Users who have MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) enabled in Office 365 cannot log in to the Archive Manager website, unless you have added the Archive Manager servers to Trusted IPs.
