Overview

As a Whitelabel Partner, you can set up a SharePoint Online connection for your customers to make use of our features (SharePoint playlists, Import files from SharePoint directly). The first thing that we need to do is create a Microsoft account.

Getting Started

Please follow the step-by-step guide below to create a SharePoint app, link it to your platform, and offer it as a playlist to your customers.

Step 1: Create the SharePoint App in Azure

You can begin by creating a Microsoft/Live/Office365/account (or use an existing one).

Visit the App Registrations in Azure and click the New registration button:

Fill in the basic facts: Name, Supported account types, Redirect URI (All points of interest are marked with green.) The Name value must be set as our App name. Then you can click on the Register button.

Configure the Redirect URI

Please be careful:

In Redirect URI, you have to replace my_whitelabel_site.com with your partner’s site.
In Redirect URI, you have to replace site_suffix with:
- sharepoint for SharePoint Online playlists app,
- sharepoint_import_files for Import files from SharePoint Online.
In Redirect URI, don’t forget the last slash (/).

Example of Valid Redirect URIs (mysite.com as my example site)

https://mysite.com/3p/cb/sharepoint/ for SharePoint Online playlists app,
https://mysite.com/3p/cb/sharepoint_import_files/ for Import files from SharePoint Online

Select the Correct Supported Account Types

In Supported Account Types, please ensure you pick the “supported account types” option that includes “Any Azure AD directory” and “personal Microsoft accounts”! The options might be more than three or in a different order.

Step 2: Retrieve the Application (Client) ID

Write down the Application (client) id because it is our App key .

Step 3: Generate the Client Secret

Enter the Certificates & Secrets section and click New client secret. Enter a Description and select when it Expires, click Add.

Client Secret Expiration and Renewal

Write down the Value of the client’s secret because it is our App secret.

Remember to refresh!

Then, you must create a new client secret before this one expires and update the relevant yconsole --> Partners --> Site Connection (3PS) record with the newly created app secret.
Please, be careful: This is your only chance to copy the value of the client’s secret. If you move away from this page and later return, you won’t ever see the value again, and you have to regenerate a new one.

Step 4: Configure the SharePoint App in Yconsole

Go to your Yconsole and create a yconsole --> Partners --> Site Connection (3PS) record for the new app, following the instructions below. Then, press Save.

In Site section, choose your site URL,
In Provider section, choose:
- Sharepoint for SharePoint playlists,
- Sharepoint (ImportFiles) for importing files from SharePoint.
In App Key section, paste the app key as generated in Step 2.
In App Secret section, paste the app secret as generated in Step 3.
In App Name section, fill in the application’s name.

Step 5: Configure App Branding in Azure

Back to Azure again: enter the Branding section and click Update domain. You can select a verified domain or verify a new domain. Using a verified domain, prevents the “unverified app” in OAuth consent in user’s login.

✅If you have completed all the aforementioned steps, your SharePoint app is successfully created and can be used as a playlist for your customers!
