Issue/Introduction

Microsoft Office 365 (O365) is a cloud hosted group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. CA Identity Manager introduced a connector in Identity Manager (IM) 14.1 to enable access to O365 (details can be found in the link below), however there are some limitations.
