Deployment and Configuration

The Exchange Online (EXO) connector contains multiple Azure services, including microservices, web jobs, and Azure functions used for inventorying and managing Exchange Online in EmpowerID.

📄️Create an App Service for the Exchange Online Microservice

As part of the deployment process for the Exchange Online microservice, an app service needs to be created to host the microservice and configured with a system-assigned managed identity. The Exchange Online V2 PowerShell Microservice uses a certificate to authenticate against Azure AD while requesting an access token to interact with Exchange Online. The managed identity for the app service hosting the microservice is the Azure principal that will be given permission to download and read the certificate.
