Registry setting for the Rights Management connector

  • Article

Use the tables in the following sections only if you want to manually add or check registry settings on the servers that run Exchange, SharePoint, or Windows Server. These registry settings configure the servers to use the RMS connector. The recommended method to configure these servers is to use the server configuration tool for Microsoft RMS connector.

Instructions for when you use these settings:

  • <YourTenantURL> is the Azure Rights Management service URL for your Azure Information Protection tenant. To find this value:

    1. Run the Get-AipServiceConfiguration cmdlet for the Azure Rights Management service. If you haven’t already installed the AIPService module, see Installing the AIPService PowerShell module.

    2. From the output, identify the LicensingIntranetDistributionPointUrl value.

      For example: LicensingIntranetDistributionPointUrl : https://5c6bb73b-1038-4eec-863d-49bded473437.rms.na.aadrm.cn/_wmcs/licensing

    3. From the value, remove /_wmcs/licensing from this string. The remaining string is your Azure Rights Management service URL. In our example, the Azure Rights Management service URL would be the following value:

      https://5c6bb73b-1038-4eec-863d-49bded473437.rms.na.aadrm.cn

      You can verify that you have correct value by running the following PowerShell command:

      (Get-AipServiceConfiguration).LicensingIntranetDistributionPointUrl -match "https:\/\/[0-9A-Za-z\.-]*" | Out-Null; $matches[0]

  • <ConnectorFQDN> is the load-balancing name that you defined in DNS for the connector. For example, rmsconnector.contoso.com.

  • Use the HTTPS prefix for the connector URL if you have configured the connector to use HTTPS to communicate with your on-premises servers. For more information, see the Configuring the RMS connector to use HTTPS section from the main instructions. The Azure Rights Management service URL always uses HTTPS.
