JavaMail connecting to Office 365 XOAUTH2 for IMAP Authentication fails

Viewed 5559

Facing connectivity issue with Office365 online with OAuth2.0 I have set up the application permissions and IMAP and SMTP connection.Basic authentication seems to be work fine. I believe IMAP is enabled. My application is configured as Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and uses grant type authorization code.

And Delegated Microsoft Graph scopes https://graph.microsoft.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All have been added: Client scopes added

Requested Auth code with https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantID}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=1223&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5555 Access Token request https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token Requested Access token with resource as "https://graph.microsoft.com"

Requesting Access token Image

Successfully received access token with scopes as IMAP.AccessAsUser.All SMTP.Send

{
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "scope": "IMAP.AccessAsUser.All SMTP.Send",
    "expires_in": 3599,
    "ext_expires_in": 3599,
    "access_token": "access_token",
    "refresh_token": "refresh_token",
    "id_token": "id_token"
} 

So here is the Java Code (JavaMail jar 1.6.2 used)

Properties properties= new Properties();
properties.put("mail.imap.ssl.enable", "true");
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.mechanisms", "XOAUTH2");
//properties.put("mail.imap.sasl.enable", "true"); un-commented still results are same
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.login.disable", "true");
properties.put("mail.imap.auth.plain.disable", "true");
properties.put("mail.debug", "true");
properties.put("mail.debug.auth", "true");

Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
session.setDebug(true);

String userEmail = "emailuser@domain.onmicrosoft.com";
String accessToken = "accessToken";

final Store store = session.getStore("imap");
store.connect("outlook.office365.com","993",userEmail, accessToken);

Following output :

Following other posts could not able to find scopes https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send in my Azure. May be they are legacy scopes.

Is there any other scopes other then "https://graph.microsoft.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All" and "https://graph.microsoft.com/SMTP.send" required to connect to Exchange online through IMAP. Or any problem with existing code.

Issue has been resolved my using scopes offline_access%20https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All%20https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send It provides permission to access Mail and also provides refresh token to re-generate the access token.

Note : Changing scope to offline_access https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send resolved the issue.

I think your problem is related to the access token scopes. I am working on a similar app but i am using the scopes https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send to obtain access tokens and it seems not to work if I try to use SMTP.Send and IMAP.AccessAsUserAll.

My access token looks like this: {"token_type":"Bearer", "scope":"https://outlook.office365.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office365.com/SMTP.Send", "expires_in":3599, "ext_expires_in":3599, "access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOi..."}

In the azure app config, I just have the Microsoft Graph permissions for IMAP and SMTP. enter image description here
