- Alteryx Designer - 2019.4
- Office 365
- SSO Enabled
- Multi-Factor Authentication disabled
This issue is caused by the incorrect option/configuration of the Sharepoint List Input tool in the Alteryx Designer.
There are three different solutions available to resolve this error.
Solution A:
To choose the - "App only Authentication" option, from the Sharepoint List Input tool configuration, as below:
- Once this option is chosen, the following fields must be inputted by the user:
- Sharepoint URL
- Client ID
- Secret Key
- The fields - Client ID and Secret Key - are created and enabled by the Sharepoint Administrator. Please refer to the Microsoft document - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly - for the steps involved in creating the Client ID and Secret Key fields.
- Once you have these fields from your Sharepoint Administrator, you would be able to connect to the Sharepoint URL.
Please note - The Sharepoint folders and the lists to access, should be given the appropriate read/write permissions by the Sharepoint Administrator, in order to read/write the records to Sharepoint successfully. If not, you would have issues in reading/writing to Sharepoint from the Designer.
The image below describes a successful read from the Sharepoint, using this option:
Solution B:
To create a service account that doesn't have SSO enabled.
- The IT/Infrastructure Team can create a generic mailbox for the team
- Request the IT/Infrastructure team to remove SSO verification from it so it just uses a password.
- After that, you can add the new mailbox as an Admin to SharePoint.
- Using the SharePoint input list option in Alteryx, you can then select the online version of SharePoint and enter in the generic mailbox username and password.
Solution C:
Add the user account Alteryx is using to your corporate O365 security policy exemption list will resolved the login issue with MS/O365.
