### Allow access to URLs
30
+
31
+
Before you deploy the Pass-through Authentication agent, verify whether a firewall exists between your servers and Azure AD. If your firewall or proxy allows Domain Name System (DNS) blocked or safe programs, add the following connections.

### Install the agent for the Azure Government cloud
39
-
In order to install the agent for the Azure Government cloud, you must follow these specific steps:
40
-
In the command line terminal, navigate to folder where the executable for installing the agent is located.
41
-
Run the following command which specifies the installation is for Azure Government.
Set up your Azure AD Connect server: If you use Pass-through Authentication as your sign-in method, no additional prerequisite check is required. If you use password hash synchronization as your sign-in method, and if there is a firewall between Azure AD Connect and Azure AD, ensure that:
55
-
- You use version 1.1.644.0 or later of Azure AD Connect.
56
-
- If your firewall or proxy allows DNS whitelisting, add the connections to the *.msapproxy.us URLs over port 443. If not, allow access to the Azure datacenter IP ranges, which are updated weekly. This prerequisite is applicable only when you enable the feature. It is not required for actual user sign-ins.
57
-
58
-
### Rolling out seamless SSO
59
-
You can gradually roll out Seamless SSO to your users using the instructions provided below. You start by adding the following Azure AD URL to all or selected users' Intranet zone settings by using Group Policy in Active Directory:
60
-
https://autologon.microsoft.us
61
-
62
-
In addition, you need to enable an Intranet zone policy setting called Allow updates to status bar via script through Group Policy.
63
-
Browser considerations
64
-
Mozilla Firefox (all platforms)
65
-
Mozilla Firefox doesn't automatically use Kerberos authentication. Each user must manually add the Azure AD URL to their Firefox settings by using the following steps:
66
-
1. Run Firefox and enter about:config in the address bar. Dismiss any notifications that you see.
67
-
2. Search for the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris preference. This preference lists Firefox's trusted sites for Kerberos authentication.
68
-
3. Right-click and select Modify.
69
-
4. Enter https://autologon.microsoft.us in the field.
70
-
5. Select OK and then reopen the browser.
71
-
72
-
### Microsoft Edge based on Chromium (all platforms)
73
-
If you have overridden the `AuthNegotiateDelegateAllowlist` or the `AuthServerAllowlist` policy settings in your environment, ensure that you add Azure AD's URL (https://autologon.microsoft.us) to them as well.
74
-
75
-
### Google Chrome (all platforms)
76
-
If you have overridden the `AuthNegotiateDelegateWhitelist` or the `AuthServerWhitelist` policy settings in your environment, ensure that you add Azure AD's URL (https://autologon.microsoft.us) to them as well.

If not, allow access to the Azure datacenter IP ranges, which are updated weekly. This prerequisite applies only when you enable the feature. It isn't required for actual user sign-ons.
71
+
72
+
### Roll out Seamless Single Sign-On
73
+
74
+
You can gradually roll out Azure AD Seamless Single Sign-On to your users by using the following instructions. You start by adding the Azure AD URL [https://autologon.microsoft.us](https://autologon.microsoft.us) to all or selected users' Intranet zone settings by using Group Policy in Active Directory.
75

76
+
You also need to enable the intranet zone policy setting **Allow updates to status bar via script through Group Policy**.
