<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Well, to generalize your question a bit more... Office 365 Pro Plus license activation requires active authentication which is only supported by ADFS, not SAML/Shibb. Microsoft has said they are working on parity for SAML by supporting passive authentication through ADAL... and though this is formally listed on their <a href="http://roadmap.office.com/en-us">roadmap </a>as "rolling out" (and has been for months)... my understanding is that claim is misleading... that while they may be staging some client software components, that only tenants in the "preview program" are actually able to get the necessary bits flipped on their tenant to effectively use of the new passive authentication pieces. I actually haven't found anyone thats said they have it working or have seen it working in a non-preview tenant like the "rolling out" status would imply.<br><br></div>So SHA1 or SHA256, doesn't matter, there is seems to be shibb support for Pro Plus software activation at the moment.<br><br></div>-Rob<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 11:00 AM, Dhinakaran Thamanan Ramaian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dhina@email.gwu.edu" target="_blank">dhina@email.gwu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">We are planning to offer <span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus for students.</span><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Recently we moved our IdP from SHA1 to SHA256. </span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">I read some posts that Office 365 does not support SHA256.</span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Has anybody successfully connected to Office 365 Pro Plus through shibboleth using SHA256?</span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Thanks</span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">-Dhina</span></font></div><div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></font></div></div><br>--<br>
