Office 365 source server connection
EdbMails connects securely to the Office 365 source server using the modern authentication protocols MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library), OAuth 2.0 and TLS Encryption. The authentication is performed over the Microsoft Sign-In page and ensures your sensitive login credentials are never saved in EdbMails, resulting in the highest security level during the migration. With MSAL, OAuth 2.0 and TLS Encryption, it guarantees safe and secure access to Office 365 data.
In the EdbMails ‘Connect to Office 365 (Source)’ window, you have the following options:
Auto Registration
EdbMails automatically handles the application registration within your Entra ID (Azure Active Directory). The ‘Auto Registration’ method requires Global admin access.
Manual Registration
If you want to manually register the EdbMails migration application within your Entra ID (Azure AD), opt for manual registration and click the ‘Next’ button. You can use either a Global admin account or any user account with full access rights for the Manual Registration method.
