Overview
Microsoft Web Application Proxy [WAP] is a service in Windows Server 2022 that allows you to access web applications from outside your network. WAP functions as a reverse proxy and an Active Directory Federation Services [AD FS] proxy to pre-authenticate user access.
For the user, it provides seamless sign on using the same, familiar account credentials. For the developer, it provides an easy way to authenticate users whose identities live in the organizational directory so that you can focus your efforts on your application, not authentication or identity.
