oauth-helper-office-365

Plug-and-play OAuth helper for Office 365

Operates in two modes:

• authorize mode: perform the first half of the OAuth dance, prompting the user to log in, and encrypting the returned secret to disk using openssl
• mission mode: decrypt the secret from disk, printing to stdout a JWT that can be used to validate the previous authorization

Requirements

• python 3
• microsoft authentication library (msal)
  • pip install msal if you receive a “missing required module msal” error
• openssl

Usage

Barebones usage

The below example is a smoke test of functionality. In order for the script to be useful, you’ll want to consume the mission mode JWT somewhere.

Generate and save secret

1. Run the authorization command

    my_user_login@computer:~/oauth-helper-office-365$ python3 oauth-helper-office-365.py --mode authorize my_user_login@contoso.com ./secret-token.bin
   

2. Enter a passphrase on stdin (optional: pass the passphrase as an argument above)

    Enter a passphrase we'll use to encrypt the token on disk:
    Confirm the passphrase:
   

3. Open the authentication URL when prompted

    Please authenticate at: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=<snip>&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access+openid+profile&state=<snip>&code_challenge=<snip>&code_challenge_method=S256&nonce=<snip>&client_info=1
   

4. Once authenticated, your browser will try to open a URL at localhost. Paste that URL back into the prompt

    And paste the response URI here: http://localhost/?code=<snip>&client_info=<snip>&state=<snip>&session_state=<snip>#
   

5. Validate that the token has been saved

    Successfully saved access token to './secret-token.bin'
   

Print a JWT from the saved secret

1. Run the mission mode command, entering your previous passphrase when prompted

    my_user_login@computer:~/oauth-helper-office-365$ python3 oauth-helper-office-365.py my_user_login@contoso.com ./secret-token.bin
    Enter the decryption passphrase:
   

2. See the JWT that’s generated

Mutt usage

examples/muttrc should contain enough configuration to decrypt a stored token. The below guide will help you encrypt and store a secret to allow the muttrc to work.

Directories and includes

1. Generate the directory structure where we’ll store our secret

    mkdir -p ~/.config/mutt
   

2. Include the example muttrc in your config, changing imap_user and imap_oauth_refresh_command as necessary

3. Optional: uncomment the last bits of the example muttrc to standardize folder names and mail deletion policies in mutt

Generate and save secret

1. Run the authorization command

    my_user_login@computer:~/oauth-helper-office-365$ python3 oauth-helper-office-365.py --mode authorize my_user_login@contoso.com ~/.config/mutt/office-365.token
   

2. Enter a passphrase on stdin (optional: pass the passphrase as an argument above)

    Enter a passphrase we'll use to encrypt the token on disk:
    Confirm the passphrase:
   

3. Open the authentication URL when prompted

    Please authenticate at: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=<snip>&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access+openid+profile&state=<snip>&code_challenge=<snip>&code_challenge_method=S256&nonce=<snip>&client_info=1
   

4. Once authenticated, your browser will try to open a URL at localhost. Paste that URL back into the prompt

    And paste the response URI here: http://localhost/?code=<snip>&client_info=<snip>&state=<snip>&session_state=<snip>#
   

5. Validate that the token has been saved

    Successfully saved access token to '~/.config/mutt/office-365.token'
   

Run mutt with the new config

1. Run mutt as usual, entering your previous passphrase when prompted

    my_user_login@computer:~$ mutt
