Microsoft OneNote Connection Details

Introduction

Connector Version

This documentation is based on version 23.0.8804 of the connector.

Get Started

Microsoft OneNote Version Support

All hosted versions of Microsoft OneNote are supported via the Microsoft Graph API v1.0. Includes information accessible from a user's OneNote notebooks, sections, and pages in a personal or organization account.

Establish a Connection

Connect to Microsoft OneNote

There are two authentication methods available for connecting to Microsoft OneNote data sources:

• OAuth 2.0-based methods: Microsoft OneNote provides OAuth 2.0-based authentication via both Azure AD and Azure Service Principal.
  • For Azure AD authentication, set AuthScheme to AzureAD.
  • For Azure Service Principal authentication, set AuthScheme to AzureServicePrincipal.
• Managed Service Identity (MSI) authentication. To use this method, set AuthScheme to AzureMSI.

The following subsections describe each authentication method in detail.

Azure AD

Azure AD is Microsoft’s multi-tenant, cloud-based directory and identity management service. It is user-based authentication that requires that you set AuthScheme to AzureAD.

Desktop Applications

provides an embedded OAuth application that simplifies authentication at the desktop.

Before you connect, set the following variables:

• InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH. Used to automatically get and refresh the OAuthAccessToken. provides an embedded OAuth application that simplifies authentication at the desktop; that is, in situations where the user is using a local server not connected to the internet.

  You can also authenticate from the desktop via a custom OAuth application, which you configure and register at the Microsoft OneNote console. For further information, see Creating a Custom Authentication App.

• Custom Azure AD applications only:

  • OAuthClientId: The client ID assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
  • OAuthClientSecret: The client secret assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
  • CallbackURL: The redirect URI defined when you registered your custom OAuth application.

When you connect, the connector opens the Microsoft OneNote's OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The connector then completes the OAuth process:

1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation. These values persist across connections.

When the access token expires, the connector refreshes it automatically.

Azure Service Principal

Azure Service Principal is role-based application-based authentication. This means that authentication is done per application, rather than per user. All tasks taken on by the application are executed without a default user context, but based on the assigned roles. The application access to the resources is controlled through the assigned roles' permissions.

For information about how to set up Azure Service Principal authentication, see

Create a Custom OAuth Application

Microsoft OneNote supports authentication using Azure AD and Azure Service Principal, both of which are OAuth-based.

This topic describes how to:

• create and register custom OAuth application for Azure AD or Azure Service Principal
• provide Admin Consent to a custom OAuth application
• create a custom OAuth application for use with client credentials

Azure AD

In portal.azure.com:

1. Log in to https://portal.azure.com.
2. In the left-hand navigation pane, select Azure Active Directory, then applicationRegistrations.
3. Click New registration.
4. Enter a name for the application.
5. Select the desired tenant setup: single- or multi-tenant, and public or private use.
   • If you select the default option, "Accounts in this organizational directory only", you must set the AzureTenant connection property to the ID of the Azure AD Tenant when establishing a connection with the Microsoft OneNote connector. Otherwise, the authentication attempt fails with an error.
   • If your application is for private use only, specify Accounts in this organization directory only.
   • If you want to distribute your application, choose one of the multi-tenant options.
6. Set the redirect URL to http://localhost:33333 (the connector's default) OR specify a different port and set CallbackURL to the exact reply URL you defined.
7. Click Register to register the new application. An application management screen displays.
   Note the value in Application (client) ID as the OAuthClientId and the Directory (tenant) ID as the AzureTenant.
8. Navigate to Certificates & Secrets and define the application authentication type. There are two types of authentication available: certificate (recommended) or client secret.
   • For certificate authentication: In Certificates & Secrets, select Upload certificate, then upload the certificate from your local machine.
   • For creating a new client secret: In Certificates & Secrets, select New Client Secret for the application and specify its duration. After the client secret is saved, Microsoft OneNote displays the key value. Copy this value, as it is displayed only once. This value becomes the OAuthClientSecret.
9. Select API Permissions > Add > Delegated permissions.
10. Select the Microsoft Graph API, and the following delegated permissions allow access to the full functionality of the driver:
    • Read and write all Notebooks, Sections, SectionGroups and Pages.
    • Read all users.
    • Read all groups.
11. Save your changes.
12. If you have specified the use of permissions that require admin consent (such as the Application Permissions), you can grant them from the current tenant on the API Permissions page.

Azure Service Principal

To use Azure Service Principal authentication, you must set up the ability to assign a role to the authentication application, then register an application with the Azure AD tenant to create a new Service Principal. That new Service Principal can then leverage the assigned role-based access

control to access resources in your subscription.

In portal.azure.com:

1. Create a custom OAuth AD application, as described above.
2. Use the search bar to search for the Subscriptions service.
3. Open the Subscriptions page.
4. Select the subscription to which to assign the application.
5. Open the Access control (IAM).
6. Select Add > Add role assignment. Microsoft OneNote opens the Add role assignment page.
7. Assign your custom Azure AD application the role of Owner.

Admin Consent

Some custom applications require administrative permissions to operate within an Azure Active Directory tenant. Admin consent can be granted when creating a new custom OAuth application, by adding relevant permissions that are already marked with "Admin Consent Required". Admin consent is also required to use Client Credentials in the OAuth flow.

To grant admin consent:

1. Have an admin log in to portal.azure.com.
2. Navigate to App Registrations and find the custom OAuth application you created.
3. Under API Permissions, click Grant Consent.

This gives your application permissions on the tenant under which it was created.

Consent for Client Credentials

OAuth supports the use of client credentials to authenticate. In a client credentials OAuth flow, credentials are created for the authenticating application itself. The auth flow acts just like the usual auth flow except that there is no prompt for an associated user to provide credentials.

All tasks accepted by the application are executed outside of the context of a default user.

use them in a client OAuth flow. You must always create a custom OAuth application to use client credentials.

In portal.azure.com:

1. Create a custom OAuth application, as described above.
2. Navigate to App Registrations.
3. Find the application you just created, and open API Permissions.
4. Select the Microsoft Graph permissions. There are two distinct sets of permissions: Delegated and Application.
5. Under Application Permissions, select the permissions you require for your integration.

Client OAuth Flow With a Certificate

All permissions related to the client OAuth flow require admin consent. This means the application embedded with the Microsoft OneNote connector cannot be used in the client OAuth flow. You must

create your own OAuth application in order to use client credentials, as described above.

After your OAuth application is created:

1. Return to portal.azure.com.

2. Navigate to App Registration.

3. Find the application you just created.

4. Under API Permissions, select the Microsoft Graph permissions.

   There are two distinct sets of permissions: Delegated permissions and Application permissions. The permissions used during client credential authentication are under Application Permissions.

5. Select the permissions that apply to your particular integration.

.

Managed Service Identity (MSI)

If you are running Microsoft OneNote on an Azure VM and want to leverage MSI to connect, set AuthScheme to AzureMSI.

User-Managed Identities

To obtain a token for a managed identity, use the OAuthClientId property to specify the managed identity's "client_id".

When your VM has multiple user-assigned managed identities, you must also specify OAuthClientId.

Use Azure Service Principal

Azure Service Principal

Azure Service Principal is role-based application-based authentication. This means that authentication is done per application, rather than per user. All tasks taken by the app are done without a default user context, but based on the assigned roles. The application access to the resources is controlled through the assigned roles' permissions.

To use Azure Service Principal authentication, you must:

• Set up the ability to assign a role to the authentication application. To do this, create a custom OAuth AD application, as described in

  Creating a Custom OAuth Application

  Microsoft OneNote supports authentication using Azure AD and Azure Service Principal, both of which are OAuth-based.

  This topic describes how to:

  • create and register custom OAuth application for Azure AD or Azure Service Principal
  • provide Admin Consent to a custom OAuth application

  5. Select the desired tenant setup: single- or multi-tenant, and public or private use.
     • If you select the default option, "Accounts in this organizational directory only", you must set the AzureTenant connection property to the ID of the Azure AD Tenant when establishing a connection with the Microsoft OneNote connector. Otherwise, the authentication attempt fails with an error.
     • If your application is for private use only, specify Accounts in this organization directory only.
     • If you want to distribute your application, choose one of the multi-tenant options.
  6. Set the redirect URL to http://localhost:33333 (the connector's default) OR specify a different port and set CallbackURL to the exact reply URL you defined.
  7. Click Register to register the new application. An application management screen displays.
     Note the value in Application (client) ID as the OAuthClientId and the Directory (tenant) ID as the AzureTenant.
  8. Navigate to Certificates & Secrets and define the application authentication type. There are two types of authentication available: certificate (recommended) or client secret.
     • For certificate authentication: In Certificates & Secrets, select Upload certificate, then upload the certificate from your local machine.
     • For creating a new client secret: In Certificates & Secrets, select New Client Secret for the application and specify its duration. After the client secret is saved, Microsoft OneNote displays the key value. Copy this value, as it is displayed only once. This value becomes the OAuthClientSecret.
  9. Select API Permissions > Add > Delegated permissions.

   6. Select Add > Add role assignment. Microsoft OneNote opens the Add role assignment page.
   7. Assign your custom Azure AD application the role of Owner.

   Admin Consent

   Some custom applications require administrative permissions to operate within an Azure Active Directory tenant. Admin consent can be granted when creating a new custom OAuth application, by adding relevant permissions that are already marked with "Admin Consent Required". Admin consent is also required to use Client Credentials in the OAuth flow.

   To grant admin consent:

   1. Have an admin log in to portal.azure.com.
   2. Navigate to App Registrations and find the custom OAuth application you created.
   3. Under API Permissions, click Grant Consent.

   This gives your application permissions on the tenant under which it was created.

   Consent for Client Credentials

   4. Open the Access control (IAM).
   5. Select Add > Add role assignment. Microsoft OneNote opens the Add role assignment page.
   6. Assign your custom Azure AD application the role of Owner.

Admin Consent

Admin consent occurs when the Admin for an Azure Active Directory tenant grants permissions to a custom application that explicitly requires an admin to consent to the use case.

When creating a new Azure AD application in the Azure Portal, you must specify which permissions the application requires. Some permissions may be marked as "Admin Consent Required". For example, all Groups permissions require Admin Consent. If your application requires admin consent, there are two ways you can do this.

The easiest way to grant admin consent is to have an admin log into portal.azure.com and navigate to the application you have created in App Registrations. Under API Permissions, click Grant Consent. This gives your application permissions on the tenant under which it was created.

If your organization has multiple tenants or you must grant application permissions for other tenants outside your organization, use the GetAdminConsentURL stored procedure to generate the Admin Authorization URL. Unlike the GetOAuthAuthorizationURL stored procedure, no important information is returned from this endpoint. Rather, after the OAuth application is successfully authorized, it returns a Boolean indicating that permissions have been granted.

After the administrator has approved the OAuth Application, you can continue to authenticate.

Client Credentials

Client credentials refers to a flow in OAuth where there is no direct user authentication taking place. Instead, credentials are created for just the application itself. All tasks taken by the application are done without a default user context. This makes the authentication flow a bit different from the standard flow.

All permissions related to the client OAuth flow require admin consent. This means you cannot use the application embedded with the Microsoft OneNote connector in the client OAuth flow. You must create your own OAuth application to use client credentials. See

Create a Custom OAuth Application

Microsoft OneNote supports authentication using Azure AD and Azure Service Principal, both of which are OAuth-based.

12. If you have specified the use of permissions that require admin consent (such as the Application Permissions), you can grant them from the current tenant on the API Permissions page.

Azure Service Principal

To use Azure Service Principal authentication, you must set up the ability to assign a role to the authentication application, then register an application with the Azure AD tenant to create a new Service Principal. That new Service Principal can then leverage the assigned role-based access

control to access resources in your subscription.

In portal.azure.com:

1. Create a custom OAuth AD application, as described above.
2. Use the search bar to search for the Subscriptions service.
3. Open the Subscriptions page.
4. Select the subscription to which to assign the application.
5. Open the Access control (IAM).
6. Select Add > Add role assignment. Microsoft OneNote opens the Add role assignment page.
7. Assign your custom Azure AD application the role of Owner.

Admin Consent

Some custom applications require administrative permissions to operate within an Azure Active Directory tenant. Admin consent can be granted when creating a new custom OAuth application, by adding relevant permissions that are already marked with "Admin Consent Required". Admin consent is also required to use Client Credentials in the OAuth flow.

To grant admin consent:

1. Have an admin log in to portal.azure.com.
2. Navigate to App Registrations and find the custom OAuth application you created.
3. Under API Permissions, click Grant Consent.

This gives your application permissions on the tenant under which it was created.

Consent for Client Credentials

OAuth supports the use of client credentials to authenticate. In a client credentials OAuth flow, credentials are created for the authenticating application itself. The auth flow acts just like the usual auth flow except that there is no prompt for an associated user to provide credentials.

All tasks accepted by the application are executed outside of the context of a default user.

use them in a client OAuth flow. You must always create a custom OAuth application to use client credentials.

In portal.azure.com:

3. Find the application you just created, and open API Permissions.
4. Select the Microsoft Graph permissions. There are two distinct sets of permissions: Delegated and Application.
5. Under Application Permissions, select the permissions you require for your integration.

Client OAuth Flow With a Certificate

All permissions related to the client OAuth flow require admin consent. This means the application embedded with the Microsoft OneNote connector cannot be used in the client OAuth flow. You must

create your own OAuth application in order to use client credentials, as described above.

After your OAuth application is created:

1. Return to portal.azure.com.

2. Navigate to App Registration.

3. Find the application you just created.

4. Under API Permissions, select the Microsoft Graph permissions.

   There are two distinct sets of permissions: Delegated permissions and Application permissions. The permissions used during client credential authentication are under Application Permissions.

5. Select the permissions that apply to your particular integration.

Create a Custom OAuth Application

Microsoft OneNote supports authentication using Azure AD and Azure Service Principal, both of which are OAuth-based.

This topic describes how to:

• create and register custom OAuth application for Azure AD or Azure Service Principal
• provide Admin Consent to a custom OAuth application
• create a custom OAuth application for use with client credentials

Administrative Tasks

The Microsoft OneNote connector can be used to perform administrative tasks. This can be done by specifying the UserId column to execute CUD operations.

The UserId Column

Many tables expose a special UserId column. This is designed to be used by an administrator to modify records on another user's account. If you are not an administrator or do not desire this behavior, do not specify the UserId when performing an INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE operation. For instance, executing the following will insert a notebook for another user:

INSERT INTO Notebooks (displayName, UserId) VALUES ('Test Notebook', '12345')

The above request will have the overall effect of attempting to add a notebook under the resource at /users/12345/notebooks. When UserId is not specified, the resources affected will instead be modified under /users/me/notebooks. In general if you are not an administrator, you can only affect or view records under /users/me, so it is not recommended to set UserId when you are not an admin.

Important Notes

Configuration Files and Their Paths

• All references to adding configuration files and their paths refer to files and locations on the Jitterbit agent where the connector is installed. These paths are to be adjusted as appropriate depending on the agent and the operating system. If multiple agents are used in an agent group, identical files will be required on each agent.

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the Microsoft OneNote connector.

User Defined Views

The connector allows you to define virtual tables, called user defined views, whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. See User Defined Views for an overview of creating and configuring custom views.

SSL Configuration

Use SSL Configuration to adjust how connector handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats; see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" for more information.

Proxy

To configure the connector using private agent proxy settings, select the Use Proxy Settings checkbox on the connection configuration screen.

Query Processing

The connector offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to Microsoft OneNote and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

User Defined Views

The Microsoft OneNote connector allows you to define a virtual table whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These are called User Defined Views, which are useful in situations where you cannot directly control the query being issued to the driver, e.g. when using the driver from Jitterbit. The User Defined Views can be used to define predicates that are always applied. If you specify additional predicates in the query to the view, they are combined with the query already defined as part of the view.

There are two ways to create user defined views:

• Create a JSON-formatted configuration file defining the views you want.
• DDL statements.

Define Views Using a Configuration File

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The connector automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the connector.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

• Each root element defines the name of a view.
• Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
    "MyView": {
        "query": "SELECT * FROM Notebooks WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
    },
    "MyView2": {
        "query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
    }
}

Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:

"UserDefinedViews", "C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\tmp\UserDefinedViews.json"

Define Views Using DDL Statements

The connector is also capable of creating and altering the schema via DDL Statements such as CREATE LOCAL VIEW, ALTER LOCAL VIEW, and DROP LOCAL VIEW.

Create a View

To create a new view using DDL statements, provide the view name and query as follows:

CREATE LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName] AS SELECT * FROM Customers LIMIT 20;

If no JSON file exists, the above code creates one. The view is then created in the JSON configuration file and is now discoverable. The JSON file location is specified by the UserDefinedViews connection property.

Alter a View

To alter an existing view, provide the name of an existing view alongside the new query you would like to use instead:

ALTER LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName] AS SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE TimeModified > '3/1/2020';

The view is then updated in the JSON configuration file.

Drop a View

To drop an existing view, provide the name of an existing schema alongside the new query you would like to use instead.

DROP LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName]

This removes the view from the JSON configuration file. It can no longer be queried.

Schema for User Defined Views

User Defined Views are exposed in the UserViews schema by default. This is done to avoid the view's name clashing with an actual entity in the data model. You can change the name of the schema used for UserViews by setting the UserViewsSchemaName property.

Work with User Defined Views

For example, a SQL statement with a User Defined View called UserViews.RCustomers only lists customers in Raleigh:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh';

An example of a query to the driver:

SELECT * FROM UserViews.RCustomers WHERE Status = 'Active';

Resulting in the effective query to the source:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh' AND Status = 'Active';

That is a very simple example of a query to a User Defined View that is effectively a combination of the view query and the view definition. It is possible to compose these queries in much more complex patterns. All SQL operations are allowed in both queries and are combined when appropriate.

SSL Configuration

Customize the SSL Configuration

By default, the connector attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

Data Model

Overview

This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to Microsoft OneNote APIs.

Key Features

• The connector models Microsoft OneNote entities like users and groups as relational views, entities like notebooks, sections, section groups and pages as relational tables, allowing you to write SQL to query Microsoft OneNote data.
• Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Microsoft OneNote, including retrieving the access token and keeping it refreshed in OAuth 2.0.
• Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your Microsoft OneNote account are immediately reflected when using the connector.

Views

Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model Users and Groups.

Tables

Tables describes the available tables. Tables are statically defined to model Notebooks, SectionGroups, Sections and Pages.

Columns

Views

Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views are read-only.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table.

Microsoft OneNote Connector Views

Groups

Retrieves all Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) groups, which can be Office 365 groups, or security groups.

Table Specific Information

Groups require Administrator permissions. To work with them, you must create your own custom OAuth App and set the appropriate OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret. In this app, you must configure it to request the Group.Read.All permission. This can be done at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com, or in the App Registrations panel at http://portal.azure.com. See Creating a Custom Authentication App for more details on creating a custom app.

To authorize Groups permissions, an administrator must grant the Groups permissions for your organization at large. This can be done via the administrator authorization endpoint. Simply have the administrator navigate to the following web page and grant permissions. Then run the OAuth authorization as normal afterwards.

In this app, you must configure it to request the User.Read.All permission. This can be done at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com, or in the App Registrations panel at http://portal.azure.com. See Creating a Custom Authentication App for more details on creating a custom app.

To authorize User permissions, an administrator must grant the Users permissions for your organization at large. This can be done via the administrator authorization endpoint. Simply have the administrator navigate to the following web page and grant permissions. Then run the OAuth authorization as normal afterwards.

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=[YourClientId]&redirect_uri=http://localhost:33333

Select

Most filters are handled server side, but the specific field of ID will change the endpoint we use to retrieve the data. It must be specified with an '=' or IN condition. For example:

SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Id = '616391f0-32d8-4127-8f25-aa55771d6617'
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE ID IN ('616391f0-32d8-4127-8f25-aa55771d6617', 'dfgd4rw3-5rvg-76hy-tr5t-aa55771d6617')

Columns

Stored Procedures

Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the connector beyond simple SELECT/INSERT operations with Microsoft OneNote.

Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from Microsoft OneNote, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.

Advanced Configurations Properties

The advanced configurations properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure. Click the links for further details.

Authentication

Connection

Azure Authentication

OAuth

JWT OAuth

SSL

Schema

Miscellaneous

Authentication

This section provides a complete list of authentication properties you can configure.

AuthScheme

The type of authentication to use when connecting to Microsoft OneNote.

Possible Values

AzureAD, AzureMSI, AzureServicePrincipal, AzureServicePrincipalCert

Data Type

string

Default Value

AzureAD

Remarks

• AzureAD: Set this to perform Azure Active Directory OAuth authentication.
• AzureMSI: Set this to automatically obtain Managed Service Identity credentials when running on an Azure VM.
• AzureServicePrincipal: Set this to authenticate as an Azure Service Principal using a Client Secret.
• AzureServicePrincipalCert: Set this to authenticate as an Azure Service Principal using a Certificate.

Connection

This section provides a complete list of connection properties you can configure.

IncludeSharePointSites

Whether to retrieve drives for all SharePoint sites when querying Drives view. If 'true' the provider will retrieve all Site IDs recursively and for each of them issue a separate call to get their drives. Therefore, be aware that setting this property to 'true' may decrease performance for the Drives view. Note that the SharePointAccessToken or OAuthJWTCert connection property must be specified to query the SharePointSites view and other views if IncludeSharePointSites is set to 'true' when using the CLIENT OAuthGrantType or the AzureServicePrincipal AuthScheme.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property affects only Drives views.

Azure Authentication

This section provides a complete list of Azure authentication properties you can configure.

AzureTenant

The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. If not specified, your default tenant is used.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. For instance, contoso.onmicrosoft.com. Alternatively, specify the tenant Id. This value is the directory ID in the Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > Properties.

Typically it is not necessary to specify the Tenant. This can be automatically determined by Microsoft when using the OAuthGrantType set to CODE (default). However, it may fail in the case that the user belongs to multiple tenants. For instance, if an Admin of domain A invites a user of domain B to be a guest user. The user will now belong to both tenants. It is a good practice to specify the Tenant, although in general things should normally work without having to specify it.

The AzureTenant is required when setting OAuthGrantType to CLIENT. When using client credentials, there is no user context. The credentials are taken from the context of the app itself. While Microsoft still allows client credentials to be obtained without specifying which Tenant, it has a much lower probability of picking the specific tenant you want to work with. For this reason, we require AzureTenant to be explicitly stated for all client credentials connections to ensure you get credentials that are applicable for the domain you intend to connect to.

AzureEnvironment

The Azure Environment to use when establishing a connection.

Possible Values

GLOBAL, CHINA, USGOVT, USGOVTDOD

Data Type

string

Default Value

GLOBAL

Remarks

In most cases, leaving the environment set to global will work. However, if your Azure Account has been added to a different environment, the AzureEnvironment may be used to specify which environment. The available values are GLOBAL, CHINA, USGOVT, USGOVTDOD.

OAuth

This section provides a complete list of OAuth properties you can configure.

InitiateOAuth

Set this property to initiate the process to obtain or refresh the OAuth access token when you connect.

Possible Values

OFF, GETANDREFRESH, REFRESH

Data Type

string

Default Value

OFF

Remarks

The following options are available:

1. OFF: Indicates that the OAuth flow will be handled entirely by the user. An OAuthAccessToken will be required to authenticate.
2. GETANDREFRESH: Indicates that the entire OAuth Flow will be handled by the connector. If no token currently exists, it will be obtained by prompting the user via the browser. If a token exists, it will be refreshed when applicable.
3. REFRESH: Indicates that the connector will only handle refreshing the OAuthAccessToken. The user will never be prompted by the connector to authenticate via the browser. The user must handle obtaining the OAuthAccessToken and OAuthRefreshToken initially.

OAuthClientId

The client ID assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

As part of registering an OAuth application, you will receive the OAuthClientId value, sometimes also called a consumer key, and a client secret, the OAuthClientSecret.

OAuthClientSecret

The client secret assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

As part of registering an OAuth application, you will receive the OAuthClientId, also called a consumer key. You will also receive a client secret, also called a consumer secret. Set the client secret in the OAuthClientSecret property.

OAuthAccessToken

The access token for connecting using OAuth.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The OAuthAccessToken property is used to connect using OAuth. The OAuthAccessToken is retrieved from the OAuth server as part of the authentication process. It has a server-dependent timeout and can be reused between requests.

The access token is used in place of your user name and password. The access token protects your credentials by keeping them on the server.

OAuthSettingsLocation

The location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved when InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH . Alternatively, you can hold this location in memory by specifying a value starting with 'memory://'.

Data Type

string

Default Value

%APPDATA%\OneNote Data Provider\OAuthSettings.txt

Remarks

When InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH, the connector saves OAuth values to avoid requiring the user to manually enter OAuth connection properties and to allow the credentials to be shared across connections or processes.

Instead of specifying a file path, you can use memory storage. Memory locations are specified by using a value starting with 'memory://' followed by a unique identifier for that set of credentials (for example, memory://user1). The identifier can be anything you choose but should be unique to the user. Unlike file-based storage, where credentials persist across connections, memory storage loads the credentials into static memory, and the credentials are shared between connections using the same identifier for the life of the process. To persist credentials outside the current process, you must manually store the credentials prior to closing the connection. This enables you to set them in the connection when the process is started again. You can retrieve OAuth property values with a query to the sys_connection_props system table. If there are multiple connections using the same credentials, the properties are read from the previously closed connection.

The default location is "%APPDATA%\OneNote Data Provider\OAuthSettings.txt" with %APPDATA% set to the user's configuration directory. The default values are

• Windows: "register://%DSN"
• Unix: "%AppData%..."
• Mac: "%AppData%..."

where DSN is the name of the current DSN used in the open connection.

The following table lists the value of %APPDATA% by OS:

CallbackURL

The OAuth callback URL to return to when authenticating. This value must match the callback URL you specify in your app settings.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

During the authentication process, the OAuth authorization server redirects the user to this URL. This value must match the callback URL you specify in your app settings.

OAuthGrantType

The grant type for the OAuth flow.

Possible Values

CODE, CLIENT

Data Type

string

Default Value

CLIENT

Remarks

The following options are available: CODE,CLIENT

OAuthVerifier

The verifier code returned from the OAuth authorization URL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The verifier code returned from the OAuth authorization URL. This can be used on systems where a browser cannot be launched such as headless systems.

Authentication on Headless Machines

See to obtain the OAuthVerifier value.

Set OAuthSettingsLocation along with OAuthVerifier. When you connect, the connector exchanges the OAuthVerifier for the OAuth authentication tokens and saves them, encrypted, to the specified location. Set InitiateOAuth to GETANDREFRESH to automate the exchange.

Once the OAuth settings file has been generated, you can remove OAuthVerifier from the connection properties and connect with OAuthSettingsLocation set.

To automatically refresh the OAuth token values, set OAuthSettingsLocation and additionally set InitiateOAuth to REFRESH.

OAuthRefreshToken

The OAuth refresh token for the corresponding OAuth access token.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The OAuthRefreshToken property is used to refresh the OAuthAccessToken when using OAuth authentication.

OAuthExpiresIn

The lifetime in seconds of the OAuth AccessToken.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Pair with OAuthTokenTimestamp to determine when the AccessToken will expire.

OAuthTokenTimestamp

The Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds when the current Access Token was created.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Pair with OAuthExpiresIn to determine when the AccessToken will expire.

JWT OAuth

This section provides a complete list of JWT OAuth properties you can configure.

OAuthJWTCert

The JWT Certificate store.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The OAuthJWTCertType field specifies the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthJWTCert. If the store is password protected, specify the password in OAuthJWTCertPassword.

OAuthJWTCert is used in conjunction with the OAuthJWTCertSubject

field in order to specify client certificates. If OAuthJWTCert has a value, and OAuthJWTCertSubject is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please refer to the OAuthJWTCertSubject field for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

In Java, the certificate store normally is a file containing certificates and optional private keys.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e. PKCS12 certificate store).

OAuthJWTCertType

The type of key store containing the JWT Certificate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

USER

Remarks

This property can take one of the following values:

OAuthJWTCertPassword

The password for the OAuth JWT certificate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password in order to open the certificate store.

OAuthJWTCertSubject

The subject of the OAuth JWT certificate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

*

Remarks

When loading a certificate the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks the first certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@jbexample.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

SSL

This section provides a complete list of SSL properties you can configure.

SSLServerCert

The certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If using a TLS/SSL connection, this property can be used to specify the TLS/SSL certificate to be accepted from the server. Any other certificate that is not trusted by the machine is rejected.

This property can take the following forms:

If not specified, any certificate trusted by the machine is accepted.

Certificates are validated as trusted by the machine based on the System's trust store. The trust store used is the 'javax.net.ssl.trustStore' value specified for the system. If no value is specified for this property, Java's default trust store is used (for example, JAVA_HOME\lib\security\cacerts).

Use '*' to signify to accept all certificates. Note that this is not recommended due to security concerns.

Schema

This section provides a complete list of schema properties you can configure.

Location

A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.

Data Type

string

Default Value

%APPDATA%\OneNote Data Provider\Schema

Remarks

The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the connector (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.

If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\OneNote Data Provider\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

BrowsableSchemas

This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the schemas from databases can be expensive. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string improves the performance.

Tables

This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the tables from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of tables in the connection string improves the performance of the connector.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

Specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.

Note that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

Views

Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the views from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of views in the connection string improves the performance of the connector.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

Specify the views you want in a comma-separated list. Each view should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Views=ViewA,[ViewB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`ViewC With Space`.

Note that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of miscellaneous properties you can configure.

GroupId

Specify this GroupId in order to access the OneNote documents for this group.

Data Type

string

Default Value

MaxRows

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

Other

These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The properties listed below are available for specific use cases. Normal driver use cases and functionality should not require these properties.

Specify multiple properties in a semicolon-separated list.

Integration and Formatting

PseudoColumns

This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This setting is particularly helpful in Entity Framework, which does not allow you to set a value for a pseudo column unless it is a table column. The value of this connection setting is of the format "Table1=Column1, Table1=Column2, Table2=Column3". You can use the "*" character to include all tables and all columns; for example, "*=*".

Timeout

The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

If Timeout = 0, operations do not time out. The operations run until they complete successfully or until they encounter an error condition.

If Timeout expires and the operation is not yet complete, the connector throws an exception.

UserDefinedViews

A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The connector automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the connector.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

• Each root element defines the name of a view.
• Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
    "MyView": {
        "query": "SELECT * FROM Notebooks WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
    },
    "MyView2": {
        "query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
    }
}

Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:

"UserDefinedViews", C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\tmp\UserDefinedViews.json

Note that the specified path is not embedded in quotation marks.

UserId

Specify this UserId in order to access the OneNote documents for this user.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Specify this UserId in order to access the OneNote documents for this user.
