Creating the Microsoft Exchange Online Access Data

To use the Microsoft Exchange Online search provider, you must first set up access. For this, the search provider needs an OAuth2 authentication. This provides an access point in your Azure client with which your users can authenticate themselves. You are in control of this access point.

This is how it works

  1. Switch to the Microsoft Azure Portal and log in with a global account or user management administrator.

  2. Open the Azure service Azure active directory.

  3. Go to the area Azure Active Directory > App registrations.

  4. Choose New registration to create a new app.

  5. Provide a descriptive name (e.g. „d.velop enterprise search“).

  6. Select Accounts in this organizational directory only as the supported account type.

  7. Click Register.

  8. Make a note of the values of Application ID and Directory ID.

  9. Open the app you just created and go to API permissions.

  10. Add the following application permissions as API permissions from the area Office 365 Exchange Online:

    • full_access_as_app

  11. If necessary, assign administrator approval for the permission you just added.

  12. Go to the Certificates & secrets area in your app.

  13. Provide a descriptive name (e.g. “enterprise-search-Client-Secret”).

  14. Assign a validity period.

  15. Note the key for the next configuration step. You cannot view the key afterwards.

You have now registered an app with the permissions you need for further configuration. You have also generated a key that you need to configure the search provider.
