Managing Credentials in Microsoft Management Extension

In previous versions of the NCE Microsoft 365 and Software connector, distributors were asked to configure their Microsoft credentials through parameters with Marketplace scope for each of the Microsoft products in the Connect Distributor Portal. Additionally, to generate the refresh token, an external service hosted in Azure had to be used.

However, with the introduction of the Microsoft Management extension, it will now be possible to simplify and centralize this process. From now on, both Microsoft credentials and the refresh token will be managed from the Microsoft Management extension.

If you already had the Microsoft Management extension installed (previously this extension was only used for GDAP management) your Microsoft credentials will be automatically migrated to the Microsoft Management extension. The only action required from you is to install the Microsoft Management Extension before the migration takes place, in case it is not installed yet.

For additional information, please refer to the documentation of Microsoft Management extension:
