Azure site-to-site VPN, AAD DS, LDAP

 I just set up and establish a S2S VPN between our Azure tenant and on-prem FW, to be able to use LDAP creditenals for remote dial-in users. What you need to do is the following components and steps.

Please tell me if you're interested, and I will explain it in more dettails. 

1. a S2S connection between on-prem Firewall (we use Fortigate) and Azure virtual gateway (VPN)

2. setup an Azure AD DS service (this is the DS as a service)

3. set a vnet-peering between the Azure virtual gateway VNET and AAD DS VNET

4. in the on-prem firewall, set a static route to allow the communcation to AAD DS server via S2S

香港渣打馬拉松2023 全馬篇 (失敗之作)

sub4之路太難

4小時20分鐘完成

工作困擾, 操練不足, 去到32公里西隊之後就散了. 

雖然我比上年的我進度了一點，至少不再肌肉疼痛而苦不堪言.

我跟自己又說:「我今年一定會加緊努力練習, 我下年一定會再來! 我一定要打敗今日失敗的我!」

究竟我的破四目標如何才能做到呢?

(FWD) 移居海外?

#好有共鳴 

喺英國探親咗個幾月, 經過熔斷機制, 再加埋酒店隔離七日, 終於返嚟香港屋企啦。

突然間,唔慣通街啲人戴口罩 ,我喺嗰邊雖然有戴口罩，但係眼見通街啲人冇戴口罩 ，

另一感覺, 通街都係華人 ,喺英國. 通街都係西人, 就係返咗自己地頭.

上次講過, 英國 (倫敦以外) 好難搵廁所, 搵到廁所, 好多都係要收費, 收費嘅廁所 ,都係清潔一般. 唔似得香港嘅商場廁所, 又乾淨, 又靚.

上次係列斯去到一處維園咁大嘅公園，當然係搵極都唔會有廁所 ,見到當地啲女人,圍住條大毛巾，行入草叢嗰邊行, 都係就地解決㗎喇.

香港交通燈好舒服,向前上望,睇到綠公仔.又會有嘟嘟聲 (計時) 提示你.

喺英國就要左右望, 唔方便,仲要計埋單車紅綠燈, 即是又要等耐啲.

而家係香港天氣暖好多 , 到商場裏面有冷氣, 係英國未感受過.

香港開始熱, 泳池啱啱開放, 可以游水.

去英國啲酒店, 未見過有泳池， 又真係冇諗過喺嗰邊游水, 嗰度啲天氣凍, 就算見到有太陽, 都係凍。
