Configuring Microsoft Admin Credentials

You can configure the Microsoft admin credentials to enable MIP decryption on non-endpoint channels or to import the MIP labels.

Steps

  1. Open the Microsoft Information Protection Properties page.
  2. Select one of the following credentials from the Credentials type drop-down.
    • Application user credentials - This option is used for MIP decryption on non-endpoint channels or for importing the MIP labels.
    • System admin credentials - This option is used for importing the MIP labels only. This information is not stored on the Forcepoint servers.
    Note: MIP decryption on endpoints does not need credentials to work.
  3. If you select Application user credentials, do the following:
    1. Enter the following information for activating the MIP server decryption or import labels.
    • Tenant ID
    • Client ID
    • Client secret

  4. If you select System admin credentials, do the following:
    1. Enter the following information for activating the MIP server decryption or import labels.
    • User name
    • Password

  5. To test the connection, click Test Connection.

    If the connection fails, verify the credentials you entered.
