- Install the app via the offline package
Many organizations may have an internal network and limited internet access for some security reasons. Even though, they can benefit from using the add-on by taking our offline app package and install installing it in on their hosting server. This procedure must be done after doing some changes as follow:
- Install the packages needed for hosting the add-on (e.g. .NET core SDK and .NET core hosting bundle for hosting the app in the IIS server).
- Whitelisting some URLs accessed by the app:
- https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1/hosted/office.js
- https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
- https://login.microsoftonline.com
- https://msoutlookapp.azurewebsites.net (this link must be whitelisted just in case the app is hosted by our side)
