Creating a Microsoft 365 connection
With the Microsoft 365 Connector, you can configure data synchronization connections for the Microsoft 365 service.
You can create an M365 connector by configuring an Azure application in the Console:
Creating a Microsoft 365 connector with manual configuration
With the Microsoft 365 connector, you can configure data synchronization connections for the Microsoft 365 service.
You can create an M365 connector by configuring an Azure application manually in the Console. One Identity recommends using Manual configuration if you want to use an existing Azure application for the connection.
To create a new M365 connector with manual configuration
-
In the Console, open the Connections tab.
-
Click Add connection, then use the following options:
-
Click Next.
-
To use an existing Azure application, select Manual configuration.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can also select Auto configuration to use and update an existing Azure application. Under Auto configuration, click Log in to Azure. After logging in to Azure with your tenant, the Tenant ID, Application ID and Certificate thumbprint parameters are automatically filled in.
-
Enter the Tenant ID, Application ID, and Certificate thumbprint of the Azure tenant as they appear on the Azure portal.
-
To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.
-
To finish creating a connection to Microsoft 365, click Finish.
Creating a Microsoft 365 connector with automatic configuration
With the Microsoft 365 connector, you can configure data synchronization connections for the Microsoft 365 service.
You can create an M365 connector by configuring an Azure application automatically in the Console. One Identity recommends using Auto configuration if you want to create a new Azure application for the connection.
To create a new M365 connector with automatic configuration
-
In the Console, open the Connections tab.
-
Click Add connection, then use the following options:
-
Click Next.
-
To create a new Azure application or update an existing one, select Auto configuration.
NOTE: If you have more than one Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) service in your Azure tenant, select I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, and use the Tenant ID field to specify the GUID of the Azure AD for which you want to set up synchronization. For more information, see Finding the GUID (Tenant ID) of an Azure AD for Azure BackSync.
-
Select one of the following options based on the number of Azure AD services in your Azure tenant:
-
Authenticate your access to Azure AD:
-
If you have selected I have one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, click Log in to Azure to authenticate your access to Azure AD.
-
If you have selected I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, in Tenant ID, enter the GUID of the Azure AD for which you want to set up synchronization.
After specifying the tenant ID, authenticate your access to Azure AD by clicking Log in to Azure.
NOTE: If you select I have more than one Azure AD in my Azure tenant, the Log in to Azure button will be enabled only if you specify a well-formed Azure AD GUID in the Tenant ID text box.
You can now create or update the Azure application in Azure AD.
-
Azure application name: Enter the name of the new or existing Azure application.
-
To create or update the Azure application in Azure AD, click Create or update Azure application.
The created or updated Azure application has the following directory roles assigned to it:
-
Directory Writers
-
Exchange Administrator
-
User Administrator
The following permissions are also added, for which you must give admin consent:
NOTE: You may need to set additional permissions depending on your needs.
-
To give admin consent for the permissions of the Azure application, click Consent. Then, in the Azure Tenant Consent dialog, click Accept.
-
To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.
-
To finish creating a connection to Microsoft 365, click Finish.
