In the latest Microsoft Office versions, such as Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office (Version 2401 Build 16.0.17231.20236) 64-bit, Microsoft has removed the ability to use basic authentication in Exchange Online for Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), POP, IMAP, Remote PowerShell, Exchange Web Services (EWS), Offline Address Book (OAB), Autodiscover, Outlook for Windows, and Outlook for Mac.
Note
To make Alfresco Office Services work with the latest versions of Microsoft Office, you must either:
- Use IdP-initiated Single Sign On (IdP/SSO), since basic authentication is not supported in the latest Microsoft Office versions.
- Downgrade Microsoft Office to a version where basic authentication is supported.
