Microsoft365R opens up a blank page. #163

Closed mxshiv closed 1 year ago

Hello. Am reaching out to you to get your assistance in looking into getting access to IM on Workbench. The Workbench is configured on a RHEL system.

We are using the ‘Microsoft365R’ package. Authorisation is triggered by just trying to use the app: library(Microsoft365R) list_sharepoint_sites()

On Workbench, the localhost page is not working to finish off the authorisation.

Looking forward to your support. Many thanks.

This is addressed in the authentication vignette, although it could probably be made clearer. You have to use the device_code flow when authenticating in an R session running anywhere other than on your local machine.

list_sharepoint_sites(*, auth_type="device_code")

Thanks a ton for your kind help. I was able to authenticate on Workbench using your advice. This required to then manually going to a separate browser window, and entering a code, then entering my email address, then approving on authenticator, then confirming etc. So, it’s a bit of a process, though it does work.

Would SAML approach be an alternate option that could be more seamless for the same outcome?

Aso, I have a similar query for Connect and Shiny app as well. Will open another thread for the same.

Thanks.

SAML isn't supported; I don't really know much about it. It could be added to AzureAuth (the package that handles authentication for all the AzureR packages) if there's enough demand.

Understood. Thanks.

I need to be able to use MS365R on Posit Connect host as well (RHEL 8). Can you please guide me to the correct procedure to make it work? Many thanks.
