 Explicit Forward Proxy uses Microsoft Entra ID authentication and authorization to validate user access before allowing network traffic. This validation method allows for adaptive policies in Microsoft Entra Conditional Access, modern credentials like passkeys, and Continuous Access Evaluation with session revocation. Classic proxy authorization methods, such as basic, digest, NTLM, or Kerberos, aren't supported.
