Question

allow applications to access outlook on workstations

Axel Marin 0

I have a problem allowing the ASPEL SAE 8 application to use the Outlook mail client.

On my servers running server 2016 or 2019 this works as normal on all workstations.

But in this specific case, where the server runs server 2012 r2 essentials, on my workstations when the application tries to use outlook it cannot get the email response sent and ends up crashing.

Tested on the same workstations but in the local profile (ie outside domain) and it works fine.

But if I do it from the domain profile, this just doesn't work.

Hello there,

Allowing applications to access Microsoft Outlook on workstations involves configuring the necessary permissions and settings. Here are the general steps to enable application access to Outlook:

Register the Application:

If the application is custom-built, you may need to register it with Microsoft to obtain an App ID and secret. This is required to use the Microsoft Graph API, which allows applications to access Outlook data.

Grant API Permissions:

In the Microsoft 365 admin center (Azure portal), you need to grant the application the required API permissions to access Outlook data. This is done by assigning the necessary application permissions or delegated permissions depending on the type of access required.

Configure Authentication:

Applications accessing Outlook data need to authenticate themselves. You can use various authentication methods like OAuth 2.0 to obtain access tokens that allow the application to make API requests on behalf of users.

User Consent:

When users sign in to the application for the first time, they might be prompted to consent to the application accessing their Outlook data. This step depends on the level of permissions required by the application.

Outlook REST APIs or Microsoft Graph API:

Your application will use either the Outlook REST APIs or the Microsoft Graph API to access Outlook data. The Microsoft Graph API is recommended as it provides a unified endpoint to access data from various Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook.

Outlook Application Settings:

If the application is accessing a user's mailbox, ensure that the user has the necessary mailbox permissions or delegate access set up in Outlook.

Please note that enabling application access to Outlook data should be done with caution. Ensure that you follow the proper security protocols and only grant necessary permissions to applications to avoid any potential data breaches or unauthorized access.
