Classes

class AutodiscoverCache

Stores the translation from (email domain, credentials) -> AutodiscoverProtocol object, so we can re-use TCP connections to an autodiscover server within the same process. Also persists the email domain -> (autodiscover endpoint URL, auth_type) translation to the filesystem so the cache can be shared between multiple processes.

According to Microsoft, we may forever cache the (email domain -> autodiscover endpoint URL) mapping, or until it stops responding. My previous experience with Exchange products in mind, I'm not sure if I should trust that advice. But it could save some valuable seconds every time we start a new connection to a known server. In any case, the persistent storage must not contain any sensitive information since the cache could be readable by unprivileged users. Domain, endpoint and auth_type are OK to cache since this info is make publicly available on HTTP and DNS servers via the autodiscover protocol. Just don't persist any credential info.

If an autodiscover lookup fails for any reason, the corresponding cache entry must be purged.

'shelve' is supposedly thread-safe and process-safe, which suits our needs.

Inherited members

class Autodiscovery (email, credentials=None)

Autodiscover is a Microsoft protocol for automatically getting the endpoint of the Exchange server and other connection-related settings holding the email address using only the email address, and username and password of the user.

For a description of the protocol implemented, see "Autodiscover for Exchange ActiveSync developers":

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/exchange-server-interoperability-guidance/hh352638%28v%3dexchg.140%29

Descriptions of the steps from the article are provided in their respective methods in this class.

For a description of how to handle autodiscover error messages, see:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/exchange-web-services/handling-autodiscover-error-messages

A tip from the article: The client can perform steps 1 through 4 in any order or in parallel to expedite the process, but it must wait for responses to finish at each step before proceeding. Given that many organizations prefer to use the URL in step 2 to set up the Autodiscover service, the client might try this step first.

Another possibly newer resource which has not yet been attempted is "Outlook 2016 Implementation of Autodiscover": https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3211279/outlook-2016-implementation-of-autodiscover

WARNING: The autodiscover protocol is very complicated. If you have problems autodiscovering using this implementation, start by doing an official test at https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com
