MS Calendar with Modern Authentication (OAuth)
Although the mandatory switch from basic authentication to more modern security measures,
announced by Microsoft, has been postponed, modern authentication, which is based on Active
Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) and OAuth 2.0, offers a more secure method of
authentication to the Microsoft Exchange Calendar.
Basic authentication requires the Avaya CU360 App connecting to the Microsoft Exchange
Online Server to pass customer’s personal (or room’s delegate) credentials – email and
password – with each request, to retrieve the associated Calendar. Credentials are stored,
encrypted, in the device.
Modern authentication does not require the customer to insert their own credentials in the
CU360 device, but instead relies on tokens, typically obtained via another mobile device or laptop
owned by the customer.
