10 Setting Up Microsoft Office 365

Prepare Microsoft Office 365 and register your application instance with Oracle CASB Cloud Service for security monitoring.

Note:

As of 1 October 2022, Microsoft no longer supports basic authentication. See Basic Authentication and Exchange Online – September 2021 Update.

Starting in early 2022, Microsoft will temporarily disable basic authentication for 0365 accounts for 24-48 hours. Office 365 account holders will be notified one or two weeks in advance of this dry run, and will have the option not to disable basic authentication.

The Oracle CASB Cloud Service team is in process of replacing basic authentication with alternate authentication. Watch the What's New page for details.

Oracle CASB Cloud Service’s monitoring of Office 365 focuses on these applications:

  • Exchange

  • SharePoint and OneDrive

  • Azure Active Directory (AD)

Note:

Oracle CASB Cloud Service monitors all Exchange users, including any who are using Exchange under a limited functionality Exchange online plan. If your organization has people who are using Office 365 under an Exchange online plan, there is no way to exclude those users from monitoring.
