    Can a vanity domain be used with the Project Online Preview? I am able to set one up on the Office 365 Preview, but there is no such option for Project and PWA won't accept logon with the vanity domain, even after choosing to share the site.

    I guess no one, even at Microsoft for Project Server 2013 Review can give me a yeah or neah on the question about the use of custom domains during the Preview?!!

    Hi Callistus,

    Team that owns vanity domains confirmed that vanity domains are only supported for public facing sites and not internal collaboration sites.  PWA would be considered an internal collaboration site.  Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the various responses.

    Mike that helps but raises other questions (my BA nature)! Even though PWA is an internal collaboration site, wouldn't companies who pay thousands of dollars for this service want to use their own domain names and brand it a bit?

    As it is right now, it seems to me that while my employees can use theirname@company.com for Office365, they will need a separate account like theirname@company.onmicrosoft.com to access PWA online. Is that correct?

    Callistus

    Hello Callistus,

    It seem slike you're talking about login usernames and not the address (URL) of the PWA site, correct?

    I'm only guessing here, since I haven't looked at the preview, but I imagine it will work for login the same way it does for the current version of Office 365: You can setup Active Directory Federation to your Office 365 account so that users can login with their existing corporate credentials.

    See http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff652539.aspx

    Those instructions are written for the current, 2010 version of Office 365; they may or may not work for the (2013 version) preview...

    Jim is correct - PWA will also support the ADFS options that the rest of O365 does. 

    Best regards,

    Brian.
