rClone on large scale Linux desktops + AzureAD auth

hi all,

we actually found a solutions that worked for us.

  1. we figured there was a permission missing on our side. this was revealed by logging in with our o365 admin account. i checked the rclone documentation and, indeed, it needs 6 permissions in total where we had only 5 set.

  1. we used the client_id and client_secret we created earlier. in addition, we added the auth_url (auth_token was not necessary)
[onedrive]
type = onedrive
drive_type = business
client_id = xxxxxxxxx
client_secret = xxxxxxxx
auth_url = https://login.microsoftonline.com/*YOUR_TENANT_ID*/oauth2/v2.0/authorize

This allows us now to deploy the rconf config, refresh the token using MS MFA, and have happy rclone users :slight_smile: we tested this on a few clients and also on win + mac. so far, so great. many thanks for your guidance, nick!
