​
Prerequisites

You need to register an OAuth app with Microsoft once. Register an application in Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD). Configure the platform as “Mobile and desktop applications” with authsome’s callback URL. The redirect URI must be:
This is the only callback URL authsome’s PKCE flow listens on. Dashboard: https://entra.microsoft.com/.

​
Log in

The first time, authsome opens a local form at http://127.0.0.1:7998 to collect your client_id and client_secret. They are encrypted in your vault and reused on every subsequent login. A second browser window then opens to https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize for the authorization step. Verify:

​
Headless setup

For SSH or CI environments, use the device code flow:
See Headless setup for the full flow.

​
Custom scopes

The bundled definition requests User.Read, offline_access, Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite, Tasks.ReadWrite. Override at login time:
The granted scopes are stored on the connection and visible in authsome get microsoft.

​
Multiple accounts

Pass --connection <name> on login and on every read command to keep two or more accounts on the same provider side by side. See Multiple connections per provider for the full pattern.

​
Use the token

Run the agent under the proxy (recommended).
Under the proxy, authsome sets MICROSOFT_ACCESS_TOKEN=authsome-proxy-managed in the child’s environment and injects the real token into outbound requests to graph.microsoft.com. The child process never sees the actual value. Refresh tokens are never exported.

​
Override the bundled definition

User-registered files always win over bundled definitions.
