Using a mobile phone, it is easy to connect to an outlook.com account using s.outlook.com as server - as specified by microsoft link. I think access should be possible using the software davmail in a similar way, thus enabling users to access their online calendars via thunderbird/lightning.
What is the URL that davmail needs for this? Shouldn't it simply be a reformatted version of the address given above? NB: The combinations given at the davmail project's website I tried already. Research on the internet did not reveal the solution either. Who can help?
Thank you!
outlook.com exposes only the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol, while davmail needs the Exchange Web Service (EWS) protocol (or WebDAV).
So, as of today, and until outlook.com exposes EWS, this can not work.

is it possible tracking all authentication requests on AD Server? no matter the requests go through LDAP, Kerberos or NTLM, and getting know the source IP address and account name?
That information is already in the Event Viewer on each of your domain controllers.
If you search online, you may be able to find some software that can be installed on each DC that will consolidate all that information for you to make it easier to look at and search. But I've never done that, so I can't recommend anything.
I'm trying to understand how to monetize GDS connectors once are publicated in the community. Does something know how to do it. I can't find a clue on this on the URL: https://developers.google.com/datastudio/connector/get-started
Monetization is entirely upto the developer. You will need to implement your own payment and verification for this.
You can verify the user identify and level of access through either your own 3P authentication for the connector OR by calling your own API with the effective user's email address.
We're are about to build a new intranet system for our company, leaving SharePoint behind. The system will be built using Ruby on Rails. Since we're using Office365 for mail, calendar etc., we would like to authenticate our intranet users through Office365.
I'm aware of Microsoft Graph API, but I have a hard time figuring out of there is a possibility to authenticate users from a third-party application. Moreover, we would like to retrieve general information about the user, like profile picture and calendar information.
Is anybody knowledgeable about Microsoft Graph API and know if it's possible to achieve our goals using the API?
You're on the right track. You would authenticate with Azure AD, which is in the 365 ecosystem.
I wrote (and answered) a detailed guide here:
How to get the JWT (using OpenIdConnect) from HttpContext, and pass to Azure AD Graph API
Note that this is the OpenIdConnect flow. I think the Saml2 flow is somewhat different.
Don't take my advice on storing the authentication codes or try to acquire the token silently - it ended up causing issues in production that weren't seen in test. Rather, just use the user object id as your key attribute.
The microsoft documentation on the topic is a little cerebral and abstract, so it'll take a little head scratching, but have a look at the samples mentioned in the post I linked above, they'll get you started.
Yes, using Microsoft Graph is the right way to go about achieving the stated goals here.
There are quiet a few samples and tutorials provided on the Microsoft identity platform code samples page that will teach how to build an app that calls Microsoft Graph.
I have an API that a user can query for data after that user authenticates against an OAuth2 provider that I maintain (i.e. not Google). Is it possible to expose data through this API to Google's Data Studio using a Community Connector? If yes, is it possible to use the setup outlined here https://github.com/gsuitedevs/apps-script-oauth2#setup against a non-Google OAuth2 provider? Thank you for your help!
I have not found any requisite to expose data through an API. So I expect that it is possible, but take into account the specific configuration requested when implementing it.
The setup outlined there is not official so you will need to test it unless someone has done it already or has enough time for it. The post is really detailed and has work behind, so I would give it a chance!
I'm trying to authenticate my silverlight application to get windows user name, which then I use to get some further information. Have looked it up, but the answers I found were about configuring the web service to get it. Is there a way, to get windows credentials strictly in Silverlight? I cannot find .Credentials, the only thing I see is .ClientCredentials, but apparently it doesn't show the required information. I am getting the string "System.ServiceModel.Security.UserNamePasswordClientCredential". It actually allows me to set up the name, not retrieve it. Also there is a web service called authentication.asmx, but as before it applies to other purposes. Neither do I have any web service I could reference to and configure them. Or am I missing something? Perhaps I can retrieve the windows credential by NTLM or Kerberos? I am using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express with Silverlight 5.
My Experience is that the Membership framework that is present in the asp.net world is not available in silverlight. In order to achieve something similar I had to implement a web service (WCF) that was directed at the domain's active directory (ldap) server. Silverlight is a very strict framework in terms of interoperability, its good for security but has some limitations.
I am not sure about your level of knowledge of the active directory but here is a link that deal with a lot of the possible operations and has sample C# code to go along.
