Make Mandatory Configuration Updates Due to OneDrive, Outlook Mail, and SharePoint Module Changes

As a result of our renaming from Formpipe to Lasernet Group, we updated the Microsoft Azure app registrations that underpin the OneDrive, Outlook Mail, and SharePoint modules in Lasernet Core 10. As a result of this change, you must upgrade to Lasernet Core 10.13, and then update and redeploy Lasernet Core configurations that use any of the affected modules.

Important

If your Lasernet version is between 10.0 and 10.12 (inclusive) and your configuration contains an affected module, but you do not follow the steps in this article, your Lasernet Core system will stop working from December 2026.  

Affected Modules

If your Lasernet Core 10 workflow contains any of the following modules, you must follow the steps in this article:

• Input

  • OneDrive input

  • Outlook Mail input

• Output

  • OneDrive output

  • Outlook Mail output

  • SharePoint output (only if the module connects through Graph API and user authentication)

Summary of the Change

The OneDrive, Outlook Mail, and SharePoint modules are each linked to a dedicated app registration in Microsoft Azure. To function, these modules must be able to access the relevant app registration.

In Lasernet 10.0 to 10.12, these modules are linked to app registrations in the Formpipe tenant (in Microsoft Azure). However, following our renaming from Formpipe to Lasernet Group, we cannot guarantee that access to the Formpipe tenant will continue indefinitely.

To overcome this issue, we have created replacement app registrations in the new Lasernet Group tenant. These app registrations will remain available in the future. Lasernet Core 10.13 contains updated OneDrive, Outlook Mail, and SharePoint modules that link to these new app registrations.

If your Lasernet Core 10 system uses an affected module, you must upgrade to Lasernet Core 10.13. Then, you must update your Lasernet Core configuration to use the updated versions of these modules. After you have tested the updated configuration, you can deploy it to your Lasernet Core servers.

Steps

The update process involves upgrading Lasernet Core and updating your Lasernet Core configuration, testing the updated configuration, and then deploying it to production environments.

To achieve this, follow these steps:

1. Upgrade the Lasernet server to Lasernet Core 10.13.

2. Load your Lasernet Core configuration in Lasernet Developer.

3. For every affected module in the workflow defined by the configuration, follow these steps:

   1. Open the Properties window for the module.

   2. Reauthorize the module. The method depends on the module:

      • OneDrive: On the Setup tab, click Obtain Authorization and then follow the authorization process.

      • Outlook Mail: On the Setup tab, click Obtain Authorization and then follow the authorization process.

      • SharePoint

        Note

        The SharePoint list in a SharePoint output module contains connections that are either:

        • Embedded, meaning that the connection is defined within that SharePoint module and can be used only by that module.

        • Defined in the Connections list in the Commands tool in Lasernet Developer. These connections can be used by any SharePoint module in the workflow defined by the Lasernet Core configuration.

        If the SharePoint module uses an embedded connection, follow the instructions below.

        Else, if it uses a connection defined in the Commands tool, you can either follow the instructions below, or edit the connection in the Commands tool (and use the Obtain Authorization and Test Connection buttons in the connection’s Properties window). Regardless of how you edit the connection, your changes are available to every SharePoint module that uses the connection.

        1. On the Setup tab of the Properties window, click the Connection tab.

        2. From the SharePoint list, select the SharePoint 365 connection that the module is using.

        3. Click Edit.

        4. In the connection properties window, click Obtain Authorization.

   3. As part of the authorization process, grant the app registration (in the Lasernet Group tenant) access to your organization’s tenant.

      

      Note

      Depending on your organization’s Microsoft Azure configuration, this part of the process might require an Azure administrator to approve the access request. In this scenario, follow these steps:

      1. Request admin approval for the access request:

         1. Enter a justification for the request.

         2. Click Request approval.

            

            Azure will confirm that the request has been sent:

            

            If a Redirection Error message is displayed, click OK.

            

      2. The Azure administrator must approve your request in the Azure Portal.

      3. In Lasernet Developer, click Obtain Authorization again, and then follow the authorization process.

   4. SharePoint module only: After the authorization process completes, click Test Connection.

4. Patch the updated configuration to a test Lasernet Core server. Thoroughly test the updated modules.

5. When the configuration is verified as working, commit your configuration changes.

6. Deploy the new configuration revision to the production Lasernet Core server.
