Login with university domain

I tried to login, but the link went to the general login site, even though I had already logged in to my OneDrive account which belongs to my university domain.

What you need to do (and this is not clearly articulated in the documentation) is configure the client in the 'config' file with your Azure tenant identifier for your university domain as your university Azure deployment does not support multi-tenant applications.

To update your 'config' file, you need to add the following:

azure_tenant_id = "insert valid entry here"

The entry you add is unique to your university.

This will configure your client to use the specified tenant id in its Azure AD and Graph endpoint URIs, instead of "common". The tenant id may be the GUID Directory ID (formatted "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"), or the fully qualified tenant name (e.g. "example.onmicrosoft.us").

The GUID Directory ID may be located in the Azure administration page as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/find-your-office-365-tenant-id.

The tenant name may also be obtained by following the PowerShell instructions on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/find-your-office-365-tenant-id; it is shown as the "TenantDomain" upon completion of the "Connect-AzureAD" command.

Configuration Example:

azure_tenant_id = "example.onmicrosoft.us"
# or
azure_tenant_id = "0c4be462-a1ab-499b-99e0-da08ce52a2cc"

Next Steps

1. Obtain your Azure tenant identifier for your university
2. Configure the client as required. Please read https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/usage.md#how-to-change-the-default-configuration-of-the-client to assist you
3. Perform the authentication with the client again using the --reauth command to authenticate you against your university tenant

I clearly following your instructions side by side, but the issue persist. After login, it said "Need admin approval" with description "OneDrive Client for Linux needs permission to access resources in your organization that only an admin can grant. Please ask an admin to grant permission to this app before you can use it.".

am I need additional config?

After login, it said "Need admin approval" with description "OneDrive Client for Linux needs permission to access resources in your organization that only an admin can grant. Please ask an admin to grant permission to this app before you can use it.".

Unfortunately you have gone as far as you can.

Your University must approve the client for use against their (your) data.

No further application configuration can solve this.

Please speak to your University IT Help Desk to resolve (they have to grant the access)

The most common response by your IT will be:

• How secure is it?
• What are the clients terms of service?

Please refer them to:

• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/client-architecture.md
• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/application-security.md
• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/terms-of-service.md

If they have any other questions they can reach out directly.

of course, I would assume that behaviour is included by default as part of microsoft x universities partnership. Our IT help desk didn't know much about this. It's possible that, no one has ever raised this issue before.

Thank you so much for reaching me out. At least, I should moving around to addressing this issue.
