An organisation I do a little unpaid governance for expects people in my position (there are a few of us) to use the organisation’s basic Office365 offering, in order to access core Office software (Word, Excel, Email, Browser) and all the data. The trouble is I already have an Office365-Pro account which, for various reasons I can’t go into here, I keep running 24/7, 365d/y.
In order to keep the organisation’s data separate from other data I access, this is how I pick up their governance stuff:
- Outbound Cisco VTI within an sVPN onto a
- Cisco VDI, where I pick up
- An MFA link to access the governance data
The thing is, I’m having trouble (like you wouldn’t believe) signing into their basic O365 account. Something within the VTI, the sVPN, or the VDI says “I can’t let you do that, Dave”. Or maybe it’s because those infra components recognise I’m already running an O365-Pro account on my base hardware and are avoiding an O365 conflict?
I like the Cisco VDI. It’s ultra-secure and self-deleting (as soon as I sign out of it, everything that happened within that session is vaporised and leaves no data or application footprint).
The question is, how can I run the basic O365 account and do it in such a way that the governance data leaves no footprint on my hardware whilst not conflicting with my 24/7 O365-Pro account?
Good question.
Let me think about it.
Top man
Thought about it.
I have no fuckin’ idea.
