Exchange Online / EDIBOTS

[Robert Tran]

Hello dear community! 

We are about to migrate our pop3 mailboxes to exchange online. From these mailboxes we received the messages from the suppliers. 

Like I saw basic authentication will be deprecated by microsoft:

https://developer.microsoft.com/de-de/office/blogs/end-of-support-for-basic-authentication-access-to-exchange-online-apis-for-office-365-customers/

Is bots able to use oauth 2.0 via pop? 

Best regards

Robert

Thanks for the link... this might affect me too, although I think we have on-premise servers. I'm currently using IMAP4S with basic auth.

To support OAUTH would require subclassing of communication.py and writing the OAUTH part. There's an oauth2 python module you can import.

It may also be easier to use the REST API.

Kind Regards,

Mike

It has been confirmed by my organization that basic auth will be blocked from early next year for our IMAP mail accounts. So I need to begin work on a modern authentication solution for Bots. Does anyone else have something working or in progress?

The library I posted in previous comment unfortunately is Python 3.4. Since Bots is (currently) Python 2 only, I will need a Python 2 solution.

Kind regards,

Mike

been reading up on this.

I figured that bots would be a "daemon" app https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/authentication-flows-app-scenarios

but then the client credentials grant flow does not support IMAP https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/announcing-oauth-2-0-support-for-imap-and-smtp-auth-protocols-in/ba-p/1330432

so looks like I will need to use the Graph API https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Plan is to implement a new communicationscript probably subclassing https. Some sample code to start with with getting the token, then a Graph API call https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-python-daemon/blob/master/1-Call-MsGraph-WithSecret/confidential_client_secret_sample.py

Hi Bob,

I have developed a working communicationscript solution to this, let me know if you need it. Only dependency is "msal".

Kind regards,

Mike

Hey Mike,

i am interested in the communicationscript. Any chance to upload to github for easy access?

Beste regards,
