SharePoint and the Web Application Proxy Role

A brand new feature introduced with Windows Server 2012 R2, we started seeing the future replacement of Threat Management Gateway and Unified Access Gateway. UAG was announced as a discontinued product in December of 2013, while removed from the price lists mid-2014. TMG was discontinued way back in 2012. While WAP in 2012 R2 doesn’t function correctly with SharePoint Apps due to the operating system limitations, this has been corrected in the preview of Windows Server 10.
