Office365-rest-python-client: Authentication Problems

Created on 21 Jun 2018 · 7Comments · Source: vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client

Hi,

I use sharepoint in Cloud and from yesterday I have an authentication error: "An error occurred while retrieving token: AADSTS70002: Error validating credentials. AADSTS50126: Invalid username or password. An error occurred while retrieving auth cookies"

Do you have some similar issues? It's a problem of Azure AD??

many thanks for support

Andrea

Are you using the method acquire_token_for_user(usernameg, password)?
If so, the password param is not the password you log in sharepoint, but the office 365 app id.

@DuiduiLi until June 20, I carried out the authentication to a site sharepoint with username and password, so now I have to register an office 365 app connected to the site sharepoint? correct?

Resolved. The issue was the use of a company user, for which a check is performed, only via browser, between Azure Active Directory and internal Active Direcotry. For the batch script, I have created a user in the cloud AAD.

Can you explain what is meant by office 365 app id?
