This policy requires the account owner to verify login attempts with a second device of their choosing. Multi-factor authentication is a policy that can be applied to a Microsoft 365 account. Modern Authentication will soon be a requirement from Microsoft. The certificate will only have access to the required permissions to perform migrations. Using Modern Authentication for Microsoft 365, CloudM Migrate can connect to your Azure AD account using a certificate instead of a password. The benefit of Modern Authentication is that you do not need to prove your identity every time you connect to Microsoft, as it uses ADAL (Active Directory Authentication Library) and OAuth 2.0. Modern Authentication, in CloudM Migrate, is essentially the same as Microsoft requires authorization from a third party trying to connect to a Microsoft domain, regardless of whether you are migrating from or to the platform. When you go to the airport, you have to show that you are really who you say you are (using your passport), and that you have permission (your ticket) to get on the plane. Therefore, this setting will be overwritten to when Modern Authentication is enabled. When using Modern Authentication, the Credential Method, set in the Advanced Settings of the source and destination platforms, must be set to Impersonation. The Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration must be disabled prior to use, due to issues with the login popup. This is because the configuration will contain new parameters that are not compatible with older versions of CloudM Migrate.

Warning: After upgrading to CloudM Migrate v3.22 or later, and updating / creating a new configuration, it will not be possible to downgrade to a previous release. Additional security processes (such as creating customer secrets and keys) are now included as part of Modern Authentication, instead of as a separate process. Microsoft are in the process of deprecating the Basic Authentication method that has historically been used to authorize CloudM Migrate to connect to the tenant’s Azure AD account, due to vulnerabilities in the process.ĬloudM recommends configuring the Modern Authentication method (as detailed below) as it will make connections more secure.
