IMAP: Having issues authenticating with Outlook/Office365

[ghub2015]

I am testing IMAP against Outlook/Office365 using /opt/sandia/webapps/scot3/bin/alertbot.pl but not having success. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Result:

$ cd /opt/sandia/webapps/scot3/bin/
$ ./alertbot.pl

Never attempted working with office 365 and I have no way of testing to
make it work where I'm at.
Some things to check:
Make sure that the Port is correct and the SSL options are set correctly.
I'd assume that outlook.office365.com has a valid cert, so you could remove
the ssl_verify_mode stanza and see if you get a new error message.

Are you behind a proxy or are there firewall restrictions?

Hi Todd. I also think it is related to the SSL stanza (although 'SSL_VERIFY_NONE' should be more forgiving; in fact allowing "man-in-the-middle").

So, can this be removed completely?

 'ssl' => [
                                            'SSL_verify_mode',
                                            'SSL_VERIFY_NONE'
                                          ],

I tried but still no joy via that approach.

Re: Firewall/proxy, I have also successfully used telnet from the SCOT instance to the Office365 host on port 993 without issue.

Resolved.

This appears to have been a 2 Factor Authentication issue. It works fine if there is no 2FA.
