Modern authentication on Surface Hub

Article • 01/03/2023 • Applies to: Surface Hub 2S 2020 Update

The Windows 10 Team 2020 Update adds support for modern authentication of the Hub
device account in some scenarios. Once you install the 2020 update, you can migrate
from legacy basic authentication to make use of the latest security improvements if the
device account authenticates via Azure Active Directory and the account's mailbox is
hosted in Exchange Online. With the 2020 Update, Surface Hub supports Exchange Web
Services (EWS) protocols and OAuth-based authentication when syncing the device
account with Exchange Online.

For new cloud-based accounts, the Surface Hub automatically uses Modern
Authentication to connect to Exchange Online without requiring additional
configuration beyond simply adding the device account to the Surface Hub using the
format

[email protected]

. Do not use the legacy format – Contoso\alias, which is not

supported for modern authentication. For more information, see

create and test a

device account

.

Note

Modern authentication is not supported for on-premises Surface Hub accounts. For
full modern auth functionality, the accounts must use

cloud authentication in

Azure AD

. If

federated authentication

is used, the account authentication with the

federated identity provider will still use legacy protocols.
