Sharepoint Authentication using Client ID and Certificate
..using Client ID and Certificate
Although we recommend our OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow , we received a request from a customer who wanted to use the Client ID and Client Secret to authenticate. We had this already available as Auth Type ‘Online Authentication using Client Credentials without User Dialog’. It appeared this option was outdated, so we updated that part of our code. Later we found out that for newly created SharePoint Sites, this ‘Client ID and Client Secret’ authentication no longer worked. It was replaced by ‘Client ID and Certificate’ authentication, so we added this option as well.

How to prevent unnecessary log entries
How to prevent unnecessary log entries
Q: For example, Scanning a remote SFTP site to collect a specific file that seldom appears. I see the first half om the log and need to scroll down to se the last entry. I can of course change the scanning interval, but they (a department) expect to have a swift delivery as soon as a file appears. It’s no biggie.
