Setting the Authentication Method for API Calls between the Azure Functions and PoolParty

The Azure functions communicate with the PoolParty server via REST API calls. These calls are protected with OAuth 2.0, which is the default authentication method for fresh installations for Graphwise for SharePoint.

Note

This functionality requires PoolParty 2022 R1 or higher.

We recommend using OAuth 2.0 to authorize the access to PoolParty APIs to make sure that your API authentication complies with high security standards and to benefit from its superior performance over Basic Authentication.

  1. Access the settings of the app hosting the Azure functions. For more information, refer to the Microsoft Azure documentation.

  2. Click the Edit icon next to the OAuth setting.

    The Add/edit application setting dialog opens.

  3. If you want to use OAuth, make sure that the value is set to true.

    If you want to use Basic Authentication, set the value to false.

  4. Confirm with Update.

Important

The default authentication method is OAuth. The app settings must contain the PoolParty client secret and the URL to an access token. Should you however change the authentication method to Basic Authentication then the app settings must contain the PoolParty username and password.
