Why ‘Never persistent’ isn’t really never persistent: understanding browser sessions in Microsoft 365 Web Apps

Peter Klapwijk — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 08:52:00 +0000

Do you know how persistent your browser session is when a Conditional Access policy is active, in which the setting Persistent browser session is set to Never persistent? I assumed that the browser session would never be persistent, like the setting says. Maybe I just thought to simple, as I’m not an authentication expert, but the answer seems to be; it depends. It depends on the authentication architecture of the web application, and on a setting in the browser. [...]

You started your journey to a modern Windows workplace. Your (new) devices are Microsoft Entra joined and no longer joined to the on-premises Active Directory. However, some of your applications might still need a drive mapping to a file share on an on-prem server. This means your Entra joined devices still need a line of [...]

Azure AD Connect setup error

The next step in a passwordless Windows experience

Peter Klapwijk — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 12:15:00 +0000

We most likely all know passwords don’t have a future and therefore I’m happy more and more companies embrace authentication options without using a password (passwordless). One of the companies that is at the forefront of this is Microsoft, at least on Windows (of course on Windows). Microsoft supports passwordless authentication options like Windows Hello [...]

Send a Microsoft Defender Security recommendations report to your users with Logic Apps

Peter Klapwijk — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 13:22:00 +0000

Today’s blog post is about sending a report to end-users with a report of the security recommendations from the Microsoft 365 Defender security portal. The thought behind sending such a report to the end-user is that a company has users with local administrator permissions (developers for example) on their (Windows) device and these users install [...]
