Users now find their BIG-IP published services consolidated in the [MyApps](https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/sign-in-and-start-apps-from-the-my-apps-portal-2f3b1bae-0e5a-4a86-a33e-876fbd2a4510) or [O365 launchpads](https://airhead.io/airbase/launchpads/R3kW-RkDFEedipcU1AFlnA) along with self-service capabilities to a broader set of services, no matter the type of device or location. Users can even continue accessing published services directly via the BIG-IPs proprietary Webtop portal, if preferred. When logging off, SHA ensures a users’ session is terminated at both ends, the BIG-IP and Azure AD, ensuring services remain fully protected from unauthorized access.

Several options exist for logging events either locally, or remotely through a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution, enabling off-box storage and processing of telemetry. A highly effective solution for monitoring Azure AD and SHA-specific activity, is to use [Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/overview.md) and [Microsoft Sentinel](../../sentinel/overview.md), together offering:

The latest version of the Guided Configuration 16.1 now offers an Easy Button feature. With **Easy Button**, admins no longer go back and forth between Azure AD and a BIG-IP to enable services for SHA. The end-to-end deployment and policy management is handled directly between the APM’s Guided Configuration wizard and Microsoft Graph. This rich integration between BIG-IP APM and Azure AD ensures applications can quickly, easily support identity federation, SSO, and Azure AD Conditional Access, without management overhead of having to do so on a per app basis.

Our recommendation is to start with an application that isn’t yet published via a BIG-IP, so as to avoid potential disruption to production services. The guidelines mentioned in this article will help you get acquainted with the general procedure for creating the various BIG-IP configuration objects and setting up SHA. Once complete you should be able to do the same with any other new services, plus also have enough knowledge to convert existing BIG-IP published services over to SHA with minimal effort.
