Exchange Online Connector
The Exchange Online connector contains multiple Azure services, including microservices, web jobs, and Azure functions used for inventorying and managing Exchange Online in EmpowerID. The Exchange Online connector is an enterprise-scale, high-security product that can be run on-premise or as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) run by EmpowerID as Web and Application Server containers both in the cloud or on-premise. Key to the connector is the Exchange Online PowerShell microservice, which you deploy to each Exchange tenant you want to manage in EmpowerID. If you are taking advantage of EmpowerID SaaS, you simply deploy the microservice to your Exchange tenants as described in the below topics. Organizations self-hosting EmpowerID need to perform additional steps beyond deploying the microservice to enable EmpowerID to inventory Exchange Online. These additional steps are outlined in the Configuration of Exchange Online Inventory topic.
