Configure 
BlackBerry Work
 for 
iOS
 and 
Android
 app settings for 
Office 365
 modern authentication

You must add your 
Exchange ActiveSync
 server information and, optionally, configure other settings.
  1. On the menu bar, click 
    Apps
    .
  2. Click the 
    BlackBerry Work
     app.
  3. On the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     tab, in the App configuration table, click +.
  4. Type a name for the app configuration.
  5.  On the 
    Advanced
     settings tab, under 
    Office 365
     configure the following settings:
    1. Optionally, select the 
      Use Office 365 Modern Authentication
       option to use modern authentication instead of basic authentication. Modern authentication enables 
      BlackBerry Work
       to use sign-in features such as multi-factor authentication, SAML-based third-party identity providers, and smart card and certificate-based authentication. This option overrides autodiscover and provisions 
      BlackBerry Work
       to use outlook.office365.com for mail settings. If this is not required in your environment, do not enable this option and manually configure your ActiveSync endpoint in the BlackBerry Work app configuration settings  on the Basic Configuration tab. For more information, see the BlackBerry Work app configuration settings.
    2. In the 
      Azure App ID
       field, specify the 
      Microsoft Azure
       app ID for 
      BlackBerry Work
      . For information on how to obtain an 
      Azure
       ID, see Obtain an Azure app ID for BlackBerry Work
    3. In the 
      Office 365 Sign On URL
       field, specify the web address that 
      BlackBerry Work
       should use when signing in to 
      Office 365
      . If you do not specify a value, 
      BlackBerry Work
       will use https://login.microsoftonline.com during setup. In most configurations, this field should be left blank.
    4. In the 
      Office 365 Tenant ID
       field, specify the tenant ID of the 
      Office 365
       server that you want 
      BlackBerry Work
       to connect to during setup. If you do not specify a value, a value of "common" is used. In most configurations, this field should be left blank.
    5. In the 
      Office 365 Resource
       field, specify the URL of the 
      Microsoft Exchange Online
       server. In the 
      Redirect URI
       field, specify the URI that you entered in the 
      Microsoft Azure
       portal. In most configurations, this field should be left blank.
    6. Select the 
      Use Office 365 Modern Authentication for Presence
       option to use modern authentication with the presence service. The 
      Enable presence service
       option on the Apps Settings tab must also be selected. 
    7. Optionally, select the 
      Proxy Office 365 Modern Authentication requests (Android only)
       setting to force all 
      Office 365
       modern authentication requests to go through the 
      BlackBerry Proxy
       instead of connecting directly to the Internet. This setting should be enabled if your organization's authentication server is not published externally to the internet. If your authentication server is published externally, this setting is optional.
  6. Optionally, enable the 
    Migration Flow Enabled
     option. Enabling this option allows users' email to continue to synchronize and minimizes downtime during the migration. If this option is not enabled, users can't send or receive email during the migration. For more information about enabling the migration flow, see Enable the mailbox migration flow.
  7. Optionally, configure any other settings. See app configuration settings for a description of all of the settings that you can configure.
