Adding an Office 365 Instance

After completing the necessary configurations in Office 365, add or register the Office 365 instance in Oracle CASB Cloud Service.

Prerequisite: You have completed the steps in Creating the Dedicated Oracle CASB Cloud Service User. You have now:

  • Created an Office 365 user with minimum privileges for dedicated use with Oracle CASB Cloud Service

  • Obtained the credentials for an Office 365 user with global administrator privileges that you can use to register the Office 365 instance.

Currently, Oracle CASB Cloud Service notifies you when various security configuration settings in Office 365 fall below Oracle CASB Cloud Service's preferred defaults.

Note:

You should not add, or register, the same application instance more than once. An additional registration seriously impacts performance and doesn’t provide any additional information.

      Note:

      The identity provider instance must already be defined. See Setting Up an Identity Provider Instance.

    3. Click Next.

  5. In the Enter credentials page, enter the user name and password for the Oracle CASB Cloud Service administrator that you set up in Office 365, and then click Test Credentials.
