To begin hit the &#39;Credentials&#39; button then hit &#39;new&#39;. Here, you will be given various options to determine how the connection between Halo and your mailbox is authenticated.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Note: You will notice it is possible to configure multiple sets of credentials here, this is to allow you to configure credentials for another mailbox (of the same type) to be used in a different (UAT/Dev) instance. So a single Halo mailbox can contain credentials to access multiple Azure mailboxes. Each of these mailboxes will be linked to your production, UAT or dev instance, each instance will then only process the mail in the mailbox the associated credentials give access to.

There are three required fields on the creation screen:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Name - Give your application a sensible name so it can be easily referred to later.</li><li>Supported account types - Must be single-tenant. Multi-tenant is not supported and will cause issues later.</li><li>Redirect URI - Only required if you are using Mailbox Scan as the method.&nbsp;<ul><li>If you are on a version prior to v2.182 the platform should be &quot;Web&quot; and the URL should be your Halo application URL followed by /azure/auth. For example, <a data-fr-linked="true" href="https://myapp.haloitsm.com/azure/auth">https://YOURHALODOMAIN.com/azure/auth</a>.&nbsp;</li><li>&nbsp;If you are on version v2.182+ the platform should be &quot;Web&quot; and the URL should be your Halo application URL followed by /authcallback.

Without this, the application will be able to access all mailboxes within the Azure tenant. Restrict this to the mailboxes you would like to integrate with Halo.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Note: Halo supports both methods, however, application access policies are due to be deprecated by Microsoft therefore for new setups we advise using Role Based Access Control.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Access policies are not needed when using the Authorisation Code authentication method as this method uses delegated permissions. When using delegated permissions the mailboxes the application will have access to will be determined by the mailboxes the user permissions are being delegated from has access to. If you would like to ensure only specific mailbox are accessed, ensure the user permissions are delegated from only has access to these mailboxes.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Application Access Policies&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Application Access Policies allow you to restrict down the mailboxes the application can access. These restrictions will override the permissions the application already has, so you will still need to provide the application with permissions. Application access policies will be deprecated by Microsoft and they instead advise to use Role Based Access Control going forward. Existing policies will still be supported.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To find out more about how to add an application access policy, see Microsoft&#39;s documentation: <a data-fr-linked="true" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchangepowershell/new-applicationaccesspolicy?view=exchange-ps">https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchangepowershell/new-applicationaccesspolicy?view=exchange-ps</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Role Based Access Control (RBAC)</strong></p><p>RBAC can be used to restrict the mailboxes the application can access. When using RBAC do not provide the application with any permissions, all permissions (and access) will be granted by the configured role.</p><p><br></p><p>For information on setting up RBAC see Microsoft&#39;s documentation: <a data-fr-linked="true" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/permissions-exo/application-rbac" data-pasted="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Role Based Access Control for Applications in Exchange Online</a>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Generating the Client Secret</span></strong></p><p id="isPasted">To obtain a secret for your Azure Application, head to the Certificates and Secrets tab within the application you have created.
