Add-AzureAccount conflicts with Corporate Firewall

Hello,

I am having issues accessing my Azure subscription with the Add-AzureAccount Cmdlet when connected to my corporate network. In order to make this work two urls had to be whitelisted. My corporate firewall team would like to know what traffic is tunneled over https when using the Remote PowerShell capability to connect to a Azure subscription. The two urls below conflict with the proxy: management.azure.com and management.core.windows.net. Does anyone know which traffic is being tunneled across those connections?

Thanks

Hi ZDCyber1,

Thanks for posting here.

You may use fiddler to see which URLs are failing and  then add azure services to I.E. proxy exceptions list.

This should work.

Hope that helps!

Hi Girish,

Thanks for the note. My firewall team has narrowed down which URLs are failing, but they would like to know which traffic is being tunneled across those https connections before approving a rule change on the Corporate firewalls.

There is also the manual way of adding an account by importing the publishsettings file as well as seen here, I haven't tried this in a while but I know it used to work well when adding accounts failed in other scenarios:
