Calendar Integration with Office 365 Support for OAuth 2.0 authentication
The IM and Presence Service's Calendar Integration with Office 365 feature is enhanced to support the usage of OAuth tokens for authenticating to the Office 365 server. This enhancement allows a more streamlined and secured authentication process than the regular password-based authentication.
When you configure Calendar Integration with an Office 365 server, the IM and Presence Service lets you choose from two authentication options:
-
Basic—password-based logins
-
OAuth—authentication with OAuth tokens
Note |
Basic authentication method will be supported as long as Microsoft supports it. When Microsoft deprecates, it will be deprecated from IM and Presence Service. |
If you choose OAuth, you must configure the following fields, each of which are added to the Presence Gateway Configuration window for this release. These fields are included for OAuth logins only:
-
Application (client) ID
-
Directory (tenant) ID
-
Client Secret
