Detailed Description

In Lync Server 2013, server-to-server authentication (for example, the authentication that enables Lync Server and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 to share information) is carried out using the OAuth security protocol. OAuth is always on in Lync Server 2013; there is no need (or even any way) to enable or disable the protocol. However, if Lync Server needs to communicate with other server products (such as Exchange 2013 or Microsoft SharePoint 2013) you might need to modify your OAuth configuration settings; for example, you might need to specify the autodiscover URL for the Office 365 version of Exchange, and you might need to specify your Realm name. These settings can only be managed by using the CsOAuthConfiguration cmdlets; options for managing OAuth settings are not available in the Lync Server 2013 Control Panel.

Note that, for the on-premises version of Lync Server 2013, you can have only a single, global collection of OAuth settings: you cannot not create additional collections of OAuth settings nor can you delete the global collection. Each Lync Online tenant is also limited to a single collection of OAuth configuration settings.

To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell command-line interface prompt:

Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Get-CsOAuthConfiguration"}

Lync Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Get-CsOAuthConfiguration cmdlet are not available in the Lync Server Control Panel.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Filter

Optional

System.String

Enables you to use wildcard values when referencing a collection of OAuth configuration settings. Because you can only have a single, global instance of these settings there is no reason to use the Filter parameter. However, if you prefer you can use the following syntax to reference the global settings:

-Filter "g*"

That syntax brings back all the OAuth configuration settings that have an Identity that begins with the letter "g".

Identity

Optional

Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.XdsIdentity

Unique Identity of the OAuth configuration settings. Because you can only have a single, global instance of these settings, you do not need to specify an Identity when calling the Get-CsOAuthConfiguration cmdlet. If you prefer, however, you can use the following syntax to reference the global settings:

-Identity global

LocalStore

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Retrieves the OAuth configuration data from the local replica of the Central Management store rather than from the Central Management store itself.

Tenant

Optional

System.Guid

Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the Lync Online tenant account whose OAuth configuration settings are to be retrieved.

For example:

–Tenant "38aad667-af54-4397-aaa7-e94c79ec2308"

You can return the tenant ID for each of your tenants by running this command:

Get-CsTenant | Select-Object DisplayName, TenantID

Input Types

None. The Get-CsOAuthConfiguration cmdlet does not accept pipelined input.

Return Types

The Get-CsOAuthConfiguration cmdlet returns instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.SSAuth.OAuthSettings object.
