Message ID: MC918447
This communication is a follow up message to MC901932, which was previously communicated on October 1, 2024. While the changes below are still in progress, we are extending the rollout window which was originally planned for October 24, 2024 – November 15, 2024. We will provide the new estimated timeline as soon as possible, along with additional information.
We are announcing an update to the “HTTP With Microsoft Entra ID (preauthorized)” (sometimes called “Webcontents”) connector to enhance security. As part of this change, a new connection type will be added that uses a first party app with no permissions attached. This is to ensure best practices are followed by limiting security exposure to only what is required. Coinciding with this change, the name of the connector will be updated to “HTTP With Microsoft Entra ID.”
How does this affect me?
Existing connections will continue to work. We will follow up at a later date when existing connections need to be migrated to the new connection type.
What do I need to do to prepare?
- Please follow the steps listed in the Authorize the connector to act on behalf of a signed-in user article to add the required permissions to the first party app being used by the connector.
- Perform a test by adding a connection in the “HTTP With Microsoft Entra ID” (sometimes called WebcontentsV2) connector to make sure everything works fine.
