SharePoint Connection with MFA

Bert Verbeek on 3/20/2020 8:06:39 AM
With the SharePoint Connection Setup (Document Service Config (9551, Card)) you can setup a connection with SharePoint.
But it doesn't support MFA (Multi Factoring Authentication).
If a customer choose the highest level of security (and partners of Microsoft must do it). The connection will fail.

So support also the Multi Factoring Authentication!

RE: SharePoint Connection with MFA

Maybe a little bit different:
With the SharePoint Connection Setup (Document Service Config (9551, Card)) you can setup a connection with SharePoint Online
If you use MFA (Multi Factoring Authentication), you can create an app password for the account used for the SharePoint integration.
This is the way all customers use authentication between two systems, when user intervention is not in place.

However when a customer chooses the highest level of security (and partners of Microsoft must do it), where MFA is mandatory for all accounts, including service accounts and app passwords are not allowed anymore, the SharePoint integration will fail.

Because two systems cannot interface with each other, using MFA and there is no workaround (app password) available, the document storage service in SharePoint Online is not working anymore.

So please provide a compliant authentication method between SharePoint Online and Business Central (or any other app).
