Enabling Microsoft 365 User Login Support in BDRSuite

KB ID: 303017
Overview:
Enabling user access in BDRSuite allows Microsoft 365 Organization Users to log into the BDRSuite Backup console using their Microsoft account credentials. This access also empowers users to view their individual backup information and recover data as required.
Cause:
User login support for Microsoft 365 is not enabled in the BDRSuite BackupServer.
Solution:
Step 1: Add Organization and Enable Login Option
1. Log in to the BDRSuite Server console.
2. Go to the "Microsoft 365/Google Workspace" tab.
3. Navigate to "Data Sources" and select "Add Microsoft 365 Organization."
4. While adding an organization, enable the checkbox option: "Create an application for Microsoft 365 User Login into BDRSuite and to support BDRSuite add-in for Outlook." Save the organization.
  1. If the organization is already added, edit it to enable this option.
5. After enabling the option, provide the BDRSuite Server URL in this format: https://(BDRSuite Server Hostname/IP Address/Domain Name):6061. Ensure that SSL Certificate for BDRSuite Server is enabled to access the web console via HTTPS.
Note: Enabling this option creates an application in the Microsoft 365 organization, which supports:
  1. Microsoft 365 Organization Users logging into the BDRSuite Server console with their Microsoft account credentials.
  2. Deployment of the BDRSuite Server Add-in for Outlook, allowing users to restore backed-up emails directly from their Outlook interface.
Step 2: Enable User Access in BDRSuite Server
1. Navigate to the "Backup Server Tile" and select the "Users" page.
2. Click the "Add User" button, opening the "Add User" dialog box.
3. Choose the option "Microsoft 365 Organization User."
4. Select the Organization, choose the User, and click "Add User."
Note:
  1. Enabling user access requires a BDRSuite User with Admin Role (Full Access Privilege).
  2. Ensure all users needing access are added.
Step 3: Sign in to BDRSuite with Microsoft 365 Account
1. After user access is enabled, users can log in to the BDRSuite Server:
2. Open the BDRSuite Server web console using the URL: https://(BDRSuite Server Hostname/IP Address/Domain Name):6061.
3. Click "Sign in with Microsoft 365 Account."
4. Enter the Email Address and Password of their Microsoft 365 Account and proceed with the Sign-in.
5. After successful sign-in, users will be redirected to the recovery page.
Step 4: User Recovery from BDRSuite Server
Once logged in, users can view their individual backup information and recover data as needed.
