Creating or editing an endpoint for MS Office 365 activity

MS Office 365 endpoints provide the configuration information that the Studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to a MS Office 365 server. MS Office 365 uses OAuth 2.0 authentication mechanism to authenticate and authorize users to perform operations.

About this task

Use this task to create or edit an MS Office 365 endpoint.
Note: Before creating an MS Office 365 endpoint, you need to download and install the MS Office 365 connector.

For information about downloading and installing the connector, see Downloading and installing plug-in connectors

Any changes you make to the MS Office 365 endpoint, including configuration properties, affects all the orchestrations that use that endpoint, as the edits are global, not local.
