After setting the CLASSPATH, the required connection information needs to be passed in the form of a connection URL. The following example includes the properties required for connecting with OAuth 2.0 refresh token grant authentication.

Connection URL Syntax

The connection URL takes the following form:

jdbc:datadirect:sharepoint:ServiceURL=serviceurl;ClientID=client_id;
ClientSecret=client_secret;TokenURI=token_uri;RefreshToken=refresh_token;
[property=value[;...]];

where:

serviceurl
specifies the URL of a SharePoint site (or "site collection"), for example, https://mycorp.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/global. The URL must include the base URL (https://mycorp.sharepoint.com/), as well as the path to the site (marketing/global). The driver uses the base URL to infer an OData endpoint, and the site path is used to locate the site that will be accessed.
client_id
specifies the client ID key for your application.
client_secret
specifies the client secret for your application.

Important: The client secret is a confidential value used to authenticate the application to the server. To prevent unauthorized access, this value must be securely maintained.

token_uri
specifies the endpoint used to exchange authentication credentials for access tokens.
refresh_token
specifies the refresh token used to either request a new access token or renew an expired access token.

Important: The refresh token is a confidential value used to authenticate to the server. To prevent unauthorized access, this value must be securely maintained.

property=value
specifies connection property settings. Multiple properties are separated by a semi-colon.

The following example connection string includes the properties required for connecting with the OAuth 2.0 refresh token grant.

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
  ("jdbc:datadirect:sharepoint:
    ServiceURL=https://mycorp.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/global;
    ClientID=29453d6f-6789-25gh-gd8g-44tk3c527831;
    ClientSecret=12a3=bCD/EfGh4Ijk+Lm5P67qR8s=//TuV+WXy1Zabcd;
    TokenURI=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token;
    RefreshToken=12a3=bCD/EfGh4Ijk+Lgd8g-44tk3c527831;");
