SSO is NOT a requirement for Hybrid, you can happily proceed without it.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have been in the process of learning and setting up a hybrid solution for our current Exchange environment in order to migrate to Office 365. I was attempting to go the route of obtaining an SSL for our AD server in order to sync SSO with Microsofts AD FS as I understand it. The problem arose when our internal fqdn is the name of an outside DNS. Whoever set it up used contoso.com for internal and emaildomain.net for our Exchange domain. So I can not attempt this method. My question is, can I simply duplicate our current wildcard emaildomain.net cert and create hybrid environment in that way? Are there alternate simpler methods of creating the hybrid environment?

Hybrid Exchange without AD FS SSL integration

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
