通过ADFS连接到Office 365

Question

I'm what might be considered a total Rookie, and I'm currently set up for a Task at work to connect an Outlook Addin to Office 365 through ADFS, so i only use the Username (instead User and Password) while connecting to a specific Office 365 URL

My question to people who are experienced in this is really simple: Is this doable, (if so, do you have any insights you could share)

Thnx in Advance, your help is really Appreciated

Answer 1

Well, it should be possible; but I'll warn you that it will not be simple. From personal experience building a product that integrates with Office365 and AD (and ADFS), you will likely spend a lot of time troubleshooting.

It will help if you if you get a better understanding of how claims identity works (eg security tokens, SAML, WS-Federation, WS-Trust). It's quite a bit to digest and be prepared for a rather big time investment.

It would help of you expanded on:

• What does the addin do? What does it connect to in O365?
• What technology is it built on?
• Which version of Office?
