Deploying Office 365

Introduction

The Office 365 plugin is dynamic - the plugin reads the settings from your Lucy server, so if you update those settings you do not need to re-deploy the plugin.

Azure (Entra ID) settings

1. Login to your Azure portal and navigate to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

2. Navigate to App Registrations and create a New Registration.

3. Give the application a name.

4. For the organization type select Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant - Multitenant).

5. Define a Web redirect URI like so: https://<yourURL>.<tld>/oauth

6. Click Register.

• In the application overview, click the Redirect URIs option then select Add a platform.

  
• Select the Single-page Application option and add the following two redirects:

  1. https://<yourLucyURL>.<tld>/login/login.html

  2. https://<yourLucyURL>.<tld>/new-o365/dist/index.html

• Navigate to Certificates & secrets and create a new client secret. Give the secret a name and expiration date, then click Add.

• Copy the Secret Value. Then navigate to the Overview and copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID as well. You will need all three values for the next steps.
