Well, then please describe this new issue in detail so we can best assist.

I am unable to get the Microsoft authentication to work with the new plugin. When I click Submit on the IdP Config page it redirects to 365, I login with the email address I am trying to setup, but then it redirects back to OSticket and says "Invalid_Client" next to the Config button.

I've triple checked all of the inputs, and copied directly from 365.

That typically means something is misconfigured on the plugin side but could indicate other issues. Please post a screenshot of the configurations but blur out or censor the sensitive info like tenant id, client id, etc.

Cheers.

Are you certain the Client ID you pasted in the email auth configuration is the "Application (client) ID" from the App Registration? Are you certain the Client Secret the "Client Secret Value" and not the Client Secret ID?

Cheers.

dangorham

Okay, so that was the issue, I was copying the wrong string for the Client Secret. It went through and is showing the token but when I hit Save Changes I am now getting this.

I was able to login to 365 with all 3 emails I needed to setup, but all 3 are now throwing that up when I select save changes. When I go back into the configs all the settings are there and it is showing a token with a new expiration date. None of them are fetching though.

It sounds like maybe IMAP is disabled in your tenant via a policy or potentially at each email level.

Cheers.

dangorham

IMAP is enabled. These emails all fetched previously to the OAuth2 plugin needing to be updated.

Then are you certain you authorized the correct email accounts? Did you do each one in an Incognito window and login as each mailbox when directed to Microsoft?

Cheers.

Also ensure your all your Scopes are set to offline_access https://outlook.office.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/POP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/SMTP.Send.

Cheers.

dangorham

Yes, I logged into each one in separate incognito windows. I've re-copied that Scopes string to be sure, and I am still getting the same error.

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is to check the logs in Microsoft to see why it's failing authentication.

Cheers.

So I've been working with my director to see if we can figure this out and we are still unable to get emails fetched. The MS logs show successful logins, IMAP is enabled, the token gets refreshed, but it still says Authenticate Failed when clicking Save Changes. Any other ideas?

KevinTheJedi

See if there is a policy attached to the user (on the microsoft side) that is restricting IMAP. They have commands you can run for each user to see if it's enabled, etc. You'd need to look at guides online for such steps.

If you are using a hosting company instead of running your own server/vm then I'd recommend reaching out to them to see if they disable external IMAP, etc. I've seen in the past where such restrictions from hosts causes such issues.

Cheers.

dangorham

There are no restrictions on IMAP. I went through the process with my Sr. Director today. He wanted me to ask why it is able to authenticate for app registration but when I try to with the email it will not?

KevinTheJedi

dangorham

Because that's completely separate. The App Registration authorization is strictly to allow the software to request tokens for things like IMAP and SMTP. IMAP is a protocol to collect mail from a mailserver. The only other thing I can recommend is deleting the email from osTicket and re-adding it and reconfiguring it. If that doesn't work then something isn't right on the microsoft end or on the server itself that's not allowing it to authenticate against IMAP.

Cheers.

dangorham

Just to add some more info. I've recreated the emails in OSticket and still get the Authenticate Failed error. If I turn off email fetching everything saves fine. When I turn on email fetching the error comes back.

KevinTheJedi

dangorham

That is quite the interesting dilemma. Then it appears something on the Microsoft end or host end is preventing the connection. Unless of course the app isn't properly configured or using wrong scopes or something (which we already went over). I would triple check all the logs on the server to see if something is blocking it. You can try a telnet to the host and port from the server CLI to see if the connection succeeds. If it doesn't then you know something is blocking the connection.

Cheers.

dangorham

So I went back and re-created all of the emails in the system again. This time I got the token and saved the configs before enabling fetching. It saved fine. I enabled fetching and saved without error. All emails began fetching. I'm not sure what changed but it is all working now. Thanks for your help.

Oh, the woes of microsoft lol Glad it's working.
