My guess would be they'd be using ADFS and not direct ldap authentication to AD since it would be far more flexible. Azure AD would be a better choice since it has a lot of hardening and handles password resets and the like.

lol hosting an entire country's worth of people on ms azure ad what would that cost like $1 bil/mo?

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
assuming 30mil users 180mil/mo for p1, 270mil/mo for p2 @ retail prices so probably less for enterprise agreement pricing.

if you're actually gonna have people in there and using it all the time then it makes sense, otherwise self hosting would probably be cheaper.

Assuming MS is interested in hosting it they'll probably just offer them a competitive price. It doesn't sound like the most horrendous idea when compared to some monolithic bespoke project - as long as MS are confident they could handle it smoothly.

Unfortunately ability to handle a project isn't part of the rubric of enterprise project management. In fact I'd say the only metric they use is number of billable hours.

Also while Azure AD would be a decent choice, price concerns notwithstanding, Australian citizens might object to hosting their PII in the US or on systems possibly controlled by a US company under the Patriot Act.

Although Australia being a FVEY member that might be less of an issue.

e: I know the average EU citizen would probably flip their poo poo about hosting their government PII in the US. (Even though most of them share everything anyway through social media.)

Yeah, but they have azure datacenters in the EU so that we don't need to worry about that so much.

Apparently they have two datacenters in Australia as well from looking at their regions list.

My guess would be that it would be hosted in Australia with the US zones as backup. they could probably negotiate for aus only hosting if they really wanted.

Depending on your interpretation of the Patriot Act, the US government could compel Microsoft to hand over data stored in foreign countries.

someone will realize it's a stupid project that funnels lots of taxpayer money to a known incompetent foreign company and try to kill it by adding lots of expensive requirements that will cause the project to blow past its budget

Fortunately that's not the EU data protection law's interpretation, for whatever that's worth. I think in this case it's probably good enough. We store our data in Azure EU datacentres for this very reason.

Edit: Also stuff like this indicates that the US courts broadly agree: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/14/microsoft_wins_landmark_irish_warrant_case_against_usa/

quote:

According to security researcher Andrew Ayer, Symantec has issued 108 credentials in violation of strict industry guidelines that the organization agreed to abide by when it made this mistake back in 2015. Nine of the certificates were issued without the permission or knowledge of the affected domain orders, while the other 99 were issued to companies with obviously faked data, Ars Technica reports. Ayer writes: “I doubt there is an organization named “test” located in “test, Korea.”
