CDATA Exchange Server Connector


Is there someone who has a quick reference card how to create the connection with an exchange server using the CDATA connector. 

 

We tried several settings with the server, but nothing works.

Hi Roland

I had not tried it before, but I have set it up based on our own setup.

We do not have an OnPrem exchange server, we use the MSGraph version which is part of Azure Active Directory.

I already have an app with Application type rights. This meant that I was able to use the CLIENT grant type, which allowed me to gain access.

I don’t know if you attempted this in the new version or an older one, but I used the following fields.

  • I set the Auth Scheme field to OAuth
  • I set the Schema field to MSGraph as it was suggested here as it was for the online version.
  • Because I use the CLIENT Grant Type, I needed to add our Tenant ID to the Azure Tenant field.
  • I set the Initiate OAuth field to GETANDREFRESH, but having it set to REFRESH also works.
  • I added the Client ID of my app to the OAuth Client ID field.
  • I added the Client Secret of my app to the OAuth Client Secret field.
  • I set the OAuth Grant Type to CLIENT. I could also keep it as the default CODE value, but I would need to have specific rights on my user to be allowed to use that option.

That was essentially what I did and it worked for me.

If you are using a OnPremise server, you will need to specify a server name and user+password to gain access.
