    Technical Overview

    The following section describes technical information for the Outlook 365 product integration.

    Prerequisites 

    The following are the prerequisites for the Outlook 365 product integration:

    • Configure an OAuth Integration Profile (App Manager > App Settings> Integration Profile). For more information, see OAuth Integration Profile Configuration.
    • Configure a redirect URI in the Azure settings > Authentication section. The Redirect URI should be the following: <App URL>/cmauth/oauth/callback.
      For example: https://university.campusm.exlibrisgroup.com/cmauth/oauth/callback
    • Verify on the Azure side that permissions that are updated in campusM (see OAuth Scope in the Configuration section) are configured in Azure as well (Azure settings > API Permissions section).
    • Configure Microsoft Graph API permissions. For more information, see Microsoft Graph API Permissions and campusM Product Integrations.

    Authentication

    The following is the authentication workflow:

    1. campusM sends Integration Profile information to Microsoft Login API.
    2. Microsort send a response with user's access token.
    3. campusM sends the access token to Microsoft Graph API to get all relevant data for the logged in user.
