Authorize a Microsoft 365 provider in Token Vault

This topic describes the third configuration task in the process of setting up an Exchange or SharePoint connector or a Microsoft 365 email inbox watcher via POP3/IMAP or the Notification service with Microsoft 365 SMTP server to use modern authentication.

Perform this task on the Token Vault Available authorization providers page after you have successfully

  • registered a Microsoft 365 application for Token Vault through the Microsoft Identity Platform (Azure Active Directory) admin center
  • registered a Microsoft 365 authorization provider in Token Vault.

To authorize a Microsoft 365 provider in Token Vault:

  1. Click Authorize for the selected Microsoft 365 authorization provider.

    Your browser will redirect you to the login page for Microsoft 365.

  2. Log in with your Microsoft 365 account and grant access to Token Vault.

    Your browser will direct you back to Token Vault displaying the authorization success dialog.

  3. Click Close on this dialog to finish authorization.

If the administrator modifies the permissions of a Microsoft 365 application configured for Token Vault after some users have already authorized the Microsoft 365 Authorization provider connected to this Microsoft 365 application, the users must perform the authorization steps again to get a new token which is valid for the modified permissions. The administrator can force this reauthorization by removing the tokens belonging to this Microsoft 365 Authorization provider on the Manage tokens page in Token Vault.
