Applications will need to be upgraded (MSAL)
-
First of all, thanks for providing this solution. I was not able to locate any other solutions to configure WP to connect to O365 using OAuth2.0
During step 3 of the instructions I was presented with the following message from Microsoft Azure:
“Starting June 30th, 2020 we will no longer add any new features to Azure Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) and Azure AD Graph. We will continue to provide technical support and security updates but we will no longer provide feature updates. Applications will need to be upgraded to Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and Microsoft Graph.”
You may consider updating your instructions to help folks build their OAuth2 app using the new method instead of the one that is going to be deprecated at some point in the future.

@dryheat3 so I don’t think this applies to the plugin. That notice is just generic, informing users about the upcoming change (should they be using ADAL in their app development).
It used to be that you had to specify the permissions when setting up the application within the Azure Active Directory GUI, and one of the default permissions Microsoft assigned to newly registered apps depended on ADAL. However, this is no longer the case for newly registered apps. Also, the latest authentication flow allows you to avoid adding the permissions in the app registration process, and specify the scopes/permissions within the OAuth request itself. This provides far greater flexibility.
This is what the plugin does, and such permissions/scopes are hardcoded (none of which depending on ADAL, as far as I understand things anyway).
