Examples

Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings Example 1. Modifying Connection Settings with Basic Authentication

This example shows how to modify connection settings with the basic authentication of a Microsoft 365 organization with the name ABC.

$Credentials = Get-Credential

$Organization = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "ABC"

Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings -Settings $Organization.Office365LegacyConnectionSettings -Credential $Credentials

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-Credential cmdlet to create a credential object. Enter credentials you want to use for authenticating to a Microsoft 365 organization. Save the result to the $Credentials variable.
Run the Get-VBOOrganization cmdlet to get an organization with the name ABC. Save the result to the $Organization variable.
Run the Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings cmdlet with the $Organization.Office365LegacyConnectionSettings and $Credentials variables to modify the ABC organization connection settings.

Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings Example 2. Modifying Connection Settings with Modern Authentication Using Application Secret

This example shows how to modify connection settings for a Microsoft 365 organization added using modern authentication with legacy protocols allowed by specifying an application secret.

$Credentials = Get-Credential

$Organization = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "ABC"

$ApplicationSecret = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "fCblKbIf+kY10+uB+rROD+wZPT/WxcDNX+EU2O33Q1s=" -AsPlainText -Force

Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings -Settings $Organization.Office365LegacyConnectionSettings -AppCredential $Credentials -ApplicationId d052f06e-1cfa-42ff-9636-9da5e7aa1fd1 -ApplicationSecret $ApplicationSecret -GrantRolesAndPermissions

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-Credential cmdlet to create a credential object. Enter credentials you want to use for authenticating to a Microsoft 365 organization. Save the result to the $Credentials variable.
Run the Get-VBOOrganization cmdlet to get an organization with the name ABC. Save the result to the $Organization variable.
Run the ConvertTo-SecureString cmdlet with the AsPlainText parameter to turn the ApplicationSecret into the SecureString type. Save the result to the $ApplicationSecret variable.
Run the Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings cmdlet with the $Credentials and $ApplicationSecret variables and the GrantRolesAndPermissions parameter to modify the ABC organization connection settings.

Set-VBOOffice365ConnectionSettings Example 3. Modifying Connection Settings with Modern Authentication Using Application Certificate

This example shows how to modify connection settings for a Microsoft 365 organization added using modern authentication with legacy protocols allowed by specifying an application certificate.
