Creating an OAuth user in Connector for SharePoint 365

Before using the Tridion Connector for SharePoint 365, you need to create an OAuth user within SharePoint 365.

Before you begin

To complete this task, you first need a Microsoft account with access to your SharePoint 365 instance.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Azure Portal in the following location:
    https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade
  2. Register your SharePoint 365 instance as an application.
  3. For the registered application, go to API permissions and set permissions for Microsoft Graph, the API service that gives access to all Microsoft services.
  4. Go to Certificates & secrets and create a new client secret.
  5. On saving, immediately copy the client ID and client secret. You need them for your configuration of SharePoint 365 in the Connector. Note that the Client Secret is visible only at this moment and cannot be accessed later.
