Exchange Integration now supports the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol for connecting to Exchange Online. With changes from Microsoft, using EWS ensures that Exchange Integration will continue to work with Exchange Online. In addition, the switch to EWS simplifies the Exchange Integration configuration by eliminating the need to use a service account and the accompanying requirement to update the service account's permissions after creating new users with mailboxes.

Requirements

• You must have a Microsoft 365 account with administrator privileges. 

• An Application Id and secret from Microsoft 365. See How to Create an Application ID and Application Secret for Barracuda Message Archiver in Microsoft 365.

• Your Tenant Name and Primary domain name from Microsoft 365. See How to Find Your Tenant and Primary Domain.

• Ensure outbound connections to port 443 are open and use the MAS hostname mas.barracudanetworks.com  to allow the Barracuda Message Archiver outbound connection to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service (BCAS). This is required to authorize a new source and to run each action.

Note that you will no longer need a service account to set up an Exchange Online source.

The Name and Primary domain you copied down can now be used to authorize the Barracuda Message Archiver permissions to import data from Exchange Online.

Edit an Exchange Online Source

You can revoke access to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service application by removing it from your organization's Enterprise Applications in Microsoft's Admin interface. To restore access, you can add a new source and authorize the application again. If you have not removed the Exchange Online source on the Exchange Integration page, you can edit the source and click Re-authorize. This takes you back to Microsoft's site to log in and consent to the required application permissions again.

1. Log into the Barracuda Message Archiver as the admin, and go to MAIL SOURCE > Exchange Integration.

2. Click Start New Action. In the Select Action page, click Email Import.

3. In the Select Source page, click Edit next to the source you want to change.

4. If needed, change the configuration name and click Save. Click Re-authorize to re-authorize consent to the Barracuda Cloud Archiving Service application.
