History / App Registrations Setup

Revisions

  • Document the browser-based SharePoint sign-in and move superseded setup to a legacy page The installer no longer uses an embedded Internet Explorer cookie login for SharePoint; it opens the admin's default browser and signs in with OAuth. That changes what admins need to prepare, so the deployment docs are updated to match. Nothing has been deleted. Advice that no longer applies to current releases moves to a new "Legacy SPO web setup" page: the old cookie login, the username/password AITracker PowerShell scripts and their SecureString flow, the MFA workaround, and the SharePoint Online Management Shell installer-machine prerequisite. Updated pages: * Prerequisites - deployment credentials now describe an interactive sign-in rather than stored SharePoint passwords; installer machine needs a modern browser rather than the SPO Management Shell; added the login.microsoftonline .com and loopback network rules. * Deployment Guidance - rewritten SharePoint tab section covering who needs to sign in and why, and the optional own-app-registration fields. * App Registrations Setup - states plainly that two registrations is the whole list, since sign-in reuses an app Microsoft already publishes. * Manual Install Web Tracking and Config - points at the installer first and keeps only the PnP/on-premises scripts; the basic-auth walkthrough moves to the legacy page. * Troubleshooting - new section for sign-in failures (loopback blocked, consent errors, AADSTS50194, access denied on the app catalog, slow app-catalog propagation). The old MFA IdcrlException workaround moves to the legacy page, as the browser sign-in supports MFA natively. * Uninstall - use the installer's Remove AITracker button; the PowerShell is the alternative. * Release Notes - the sign-in change, and a Code maintenance line for the dependency work. The move also strips a real demo-tenant name and a real user address out of the sample script output, replacing them with contoso placeholders.

  • Add dedicated 'Runtime app reply URLs' page and link from setup Move the runtime app reply URL / redirect URI guidance out of the App Registrations Setup page into a focused page. Consolidate the duplicate 'Add Platform configurations' and 'Enable Implicit Grant Flow' sections, document the exact HTTPS-root-with-trailing-slash reply URL, the ID-tokens requirement for the hybrid code id_token flow, multiple environments and AADSTS50011 troubleshooting. Keep the original heading/anchor and link to the new page from the setup page, sidebar and manual-install page. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

  • Wiki: finish branding modernisation + fix two malformed Analytics tables - Modernise generic 'Office 365' platform references to 'Microsoft 365' across the wiki (44 occurrences), now that the product is 'Microsoft 365 Advanced Analytics'. The real 'Office 365 Management [Activity] API' name and code identifiers (Office365ActivityImporter, o365_client_applications) are preserved. - Analytics - Data model: fix the malformed 'Usage metrics' table (the header had two columns but the data row had four; the stray cells duplicated the App-per-platform table below). - Analytics: de-indent the Runbooks table so it renders reliably (it was indented under a list item).

  • Wiki: modernise product name to 'Microsoft 365 Advanced Analytics' + accuracy/structure polish - Standardise the product name to Microsoft 365 Advanced Analytics (was a mix of 'Office 365 Advanced Analytics [Engine]', 'M365 Advanced Analytics', 'O365...'). Code identifiers (Office365ActivityImporter), the Office 365 Management Activity API name and the literal 'O365 Adv Analytics Setup Rule' firewall rule are deliberately preserved. - Replace legacy docs.microsoft.com links with learn.microsoft.com. - Tie the monitoring trio together: Health Alerts and Monitoring now cross-link Monitoring system performance and vice-versa. - Verify: fix informal wording and add a 'What good looks like' pass/fail checklist. - Troubleshooting: point fatal-exception reports at GitHub Issues (with a redact-secrets warning) instead of an unaddressed 'please email'. - Manual setup: clarify the importer uses the App Insights connection string, with the instrumentation key still needed for AITracker/legacy logging. - Architecture & costs: document the basis for the ~EUR170/month estimate. - CSP page: add deployment/context cross-links. - Align the Analytics page title with the sidebar ('Activity & Usage Analytics').
