Install the Vantagepoint Connect Add-in for Outlook
After you set up the integration and enable users and synchronization, you install the Connect add-in, in both Vantagepoint and Outlook.
Installation Pre-requisites:
- To use Connect, the Vantagepoint application must be exposed to the internet via a publicly facing URL. If your network or firewall is configured to only allow certain IP addresses to access Vantagepoint, it will be necessary to add Connect IP addresses to the Allow list. See the Troubleshoot Synchronization and Connect Add-in Issues for Gmail or Troubleshoot Synchronization and Connect Add-in Issues for Outlook help topics for the list of IP addresses.
- The security role for the individual who is responsible for configuring Connect must have access to Connect Administration. In Connect Administration is selected under . , on the Overview tab, make sure that
- The individual who is responsible for configuring Connect (selecting the Connect Administration option in ), must have an employee record associated with their user record in . The employee record must also have a valid email address.
- Each employee who will use Connect must have an employee record that includes an email address and is associated with a user record in .
- Windows authentication for the on-premises application is not supported with Vantagepoint Connect.
- You must have a Client ID and Secret in API Authorization in . You only need to generate the secret one time, for all integrations. If you generate a new secret at any time after setting your secret initially, all integrations using the old secret will be broken until you refresh your access token for those integrations.
- If you have not used a client secret for another integration, you need to generate one in API Authorization. If there are values on that screen, do not generate a new one; doing so could break other integrations.
Installation options include:
- The user can install the add-in from the manifest URL found in the Help About screen.
- The Vantagepoint administrator can save the manifest as a file on their network and users can then install the add-in from that file.
- An Exchange administrator can push out the add-in via the Exchange Admin Console.
