Whitelist External Authority in Manifest

For some Office Online scenarios, it is required that any domain visited during authentication must be whitelisted in the respective manifest file.

If you use Microsoft Entra ID, you usually do not need to adjust anything.

If you use a custom multi-factor authentication service or another external authority such as Okta, add its domain to the list under <AppDomains> in the manifest file.

The following excerpt provides an example:

 
<AppDomains>
  ...
  <AppDomain>https://[SUBDOMAIN].[DOMAIN].[TLD]:[PORT]</AppDomain>
</AppDomains>

Note

For further information regarding this configuration, see AppDomain element.
