ADFS SmartLink for OnedriveMapper

ADFS SmartLinks are very useful tools to get your user signed into a service super quickly. As of version 3.02, OnedriveMapper supports these links for both IE and Native authentication mode.

I wrote an article on how to create an ADFS smartlink for the Intune portal once, that should get you started, but point your smartlink to “https://{YOUR TENANT NAME}-my.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/MySite.aspx?MySiteRedirect=AllDocuments”.

Then configure $adfsSmartLink in OnedriveMapper with your ADFS SmartLink. OnedriveMapper should then immediately get logged into Onedrive For Business, reducing logon delays by seconds or more depending on the auth method you’re using.

Onedrivemapper V3 beta

As of today, V3 of OnedriveMapper is in testing. It features an auto-updater and does native (no internet explorer) authentication.

The auto updater only works for OnedriveMapper Cloud beta testers, after beta OnedriveMapper Cloud will probably be a service where you can manage / control all OnedriveMapper settings as configurations for your organisation(s) centrally. OnedriveMapper Cloud comes as both a ps1 and msi version.

OnedriveMapper v2.53 released!

Version 2.53 of OneDriveMapper has been released!

  • Updated to work with changes in MS’s backend
  • Better handling of AzureAD SSO Preview

This morning I received reports that the O4B mapping was failing, but SpO ones weren’t. Digging into this I noticed that if I attempted to map the moment the script hits O4B, it did work, so OnedriveMapper now handles the timing a bit different to work with the changes Microsoft made on their end.

OnedriveMapper v2.51, AADConnect SSO workaround

Hi all, I’ve just posted v2.51, which has a workaround for the Preview Version of SSO in Azure AD Connect that some people have reported not working with OnedriveMapper.

It took me a while to reproduce the issue, but v2.51 now works with Azure AD Connect SSO as long as you do not configure the 2 intranet URL’s through GPO. OnedriveMapper will handle the SSO sites in your local intranet for you, and will still prompt the user for a password once and then cache it.

I’ve got a call with Microsoft to assist on why AADConnect SSO does not generate a persistent cookie, so full compatibility may come in the future.

Changelog:

  • detect and log OS and IE version, only check for relevant KB if necessary
  • semi-compatible with Azure AD Connect SSO (bypass)
