SharePoint Online connector - 2 factor authentication

Hi,

 

Just after a bit of advise. Within my organisation i am trying to request an app to connect to sharepoint. When this work on FME desktop i have to authorise with my own identity and it works fine. However, as my organisation has a 2 factor authentication policy which requires me to enter a text message password, i need to reauthenticate every 2 weeks. Would this be the same with FME server, requiring me to reauthenticate every 2 weeks (as not useful for a process i want to leave on a schedule)? or when i authenticate the app from FME server, would remove this reauthentication requirement? if not is there anyway around this?

 

I would do trial and error to find out, but its taking me along time to get through internal processes, and want to ensure after the effort it take to get there, its going to work as hoped.

 

Many thanks,

 

Andy

I think it would be the same on FME Server, unfortunately.

Ideally, you should request a service account without MFA, rather than using your personal account.

Thanks, that's what I feared. Unfortunately they are not willing to give me a service account.
