Autodiscover

Ruby client for Microsoft's Autodiscover Service.

The Autodiscover Service is a component of the Microsoft Exchange architecture. Autoservice clients can access the URLs and settings needed to communicate with Exchange servers, such as the URL of the endpoint to use with the Exchange Web Services (EWS) API.

This library implements Microsoft's "Autodiscover HTTP Service Protocol Specification" to discover the endpoint for an Autodiscover server that supports a specified e-mail address and Microsoft's "Autodiscover Publishing and Lookup Protocol Specification" to get URLs and settings that are required to access Web services available from Exchange servers.

Dependencies

This library requires the following Gems:

HTTPClient
Nokogiri
Nori

The HTTPClient Gem in turn requires the rubyntlm Gem for Negotiate/NTLM authentication.

How to Use

require 'autodiscover'

client = Autodiscover::Client.new(email: "blumbergh@initech.local", password: "tps_eq_awesome")
data = client.autodiscover

# Get the EWS endpoint
data.ews_url

# Get an Exchange Version ingestible by EWS
data.exchange_version

# Access the raw Autodiscover data in its entirety
data.response

Options

Besides :email and :password, Autodiscover::Client can take a few other options as can the #autodiscover method.

Examples:

# Use a different username than your e-mail.
client = Autodiscover::Client.new(email: "blumbergh@initech.local", password: "tps_eq_awesome", username: 'INITECH\blumbergh')

# Override the domain
client = Autodiscover::Client.new(email: "blumbergh@initech.local", password: "tps_eq_awesome", domain: "tpsreports.local")

# Set a custom connection timeout
client = Autodiscover::Client.new(email: "blumbergh@initech.local", password: "tps_eq_awesome", connect_timeout: 5)

# Ignore SSL Errors
client.autodiscover(ignore_ssl_errors: true)
