Are you perhaps trying to contact an Exchange server rather than an individual mail client? If so, have of Using .NET and WebDAV to access an Exchange server.

Latest version of Microsoft Office block MS-OFBA requests

In regards to the following message in Office 365 (and Office apps):
To help provide additional security coverage, we are changing how
form-based authentication in Office applications is handled.
Forms-based authentication is a legacy authentication method for
Office resources that are not protected by Azure Active Directory
(AAD) or Microsoft account (MSA).
A new update was recently rolled out across the suite which impedes users from accessing servers which implement MS-OFBA, citing it as insecure.
If this is the case, what is the preferred way of authenticating users against a WebDAV service?
Unfortunately, we do not know any solution for this issue currently. Authentication against Azure AD does not help - this message appears anyway. Also, Microsoft did not provide an alternative for MS-OFBA as war as we know. Fortunately, you just need one click and this message does not show any more.
Hmm, there must be a way around this problem.
If we use Azure AD to authenticate against our WebDAV-server (such as IT Hit WebDAV), then isn't this exactly what we have when we use Office apps against documents stored in SharePoint Online (which in a sense is a webdav server protected by Azure AD)? And in that case, there is no warning.
I believe that it must be possible to do what Microsoft does here, I don't think they have legal rights to use "back-doors" to implement things that other companies can't. Have you investigated this, IT HIT?

SSRS Reports with .Net Core

I am trying to figure out the best way to connect to SSRS to retrieve some reports. I had a look at WSDL (SOAP) and REST endpoints and so far the seem good. Also on stackoverflow there was a simple solution here and of course there is more.
What I want to do is being able to impersonate AD users when getting reports. But it would be great to be able to impersonate a user without using his/her password. I red about custom security implementations but I didn't really see if this would be helpful (I'm new to this).
I have a single sign on Asp.Net Core application with an angular js frontend. I would like the backend to get the reports and provide them to the frontend. Here are my questions:
Whats's the best way for a .Net Core Application to connect to the SSRS server? Is it WSDL (SOAP) or REST or something else?
Can I impersonate an AD user without his/her password? Do I always have to use username and password for this?
I couldn't realy find anything that I could apply to my solution. Creating a custom security seemd time consuming but maybe it's part of the solution.
Help is very much appreciated, thank you!

Hosting asp.net website with database

I have created one asp.net website (project) with the help of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The database of the respective project is designed with the help of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008. Now I want to publish the website on the internet. Can somebody please guide me in this?
Thanks in advance.
You need a Windows hosting provider (a provider that uses windows servers) that supports all the technologies you used (MVC maybe?)
Remove all debugging code (if any) from your application and modify the web.config as needed
upload the whole project folder (without the .sln file) to the server and try to run the website
if you run into an error, ask a good question on stackoverflow :-)
Please note: StackOverflow is not a tutorial site and is only for specific questions like "What and where are the stack and heap?" not "How to write a hello world application in C#". While I am answering this question, please avoid asking such broad questions in the future.
Consider trying azure.
You get more control over what you do and its really simple to publish

Azure hosts its own database so you just move your tables into it.. there are a ton of guides on how to start this

How to read outlook express contacts from asp.net application?

I want to import contacts from my outlook account to my web application in asp.net, any help?
I was going to say that OE uses the Windows Address Book but that seems to have changed since vista.
Either way there are APIs that will let you read the data.

Create Outlook Task Request from ASP.NET

I'm looking for a way to create Outlook Task Request from ASP.NET. I'm using Exchange Server 2003 for email server. Basically, user of my ASP.NET application will do something that will create Outlook Task based on some logic. Is this natively supported in .NET or must I use third party component?
You can use WebDav for Exchange. Here is an example how to do this.
Are you using Outlook with an Exchange Server? If so, you can use Exchange Web Services.
Exchange Web Services are an easy way of doing pretty much anything within an Exchange mailbox, so if you're going to be doing more than just Outlook Tasks, then it may be worth looking at. Otherwise, AFAIK, there are no native .Net classes (that ship with the framework).
I have also not seen any 3rd party components out there so far...
