Unable to authentication using app id and secret

Instead of using delegated authentication, I have a registered app with application permissions assigned to it.

The app has admin consent already applied it’s permissions.

This is the sample code that I am using that is causing the below two problems:

from O365 import Account

credentials = ('my_client_id', 'my_client_secret')

# the default protocol will be Microsoft Graph

account = Account(credentials, auth_flow_type='credentials')
if account.authenticate():
   print('Authenticated!')

When I try to use Account class to get a token, I run into two problems.

1. When using application permissions, the documentation mentions I don’t need to specify any scopes. If I don’t specify any scopes, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/****/Documents/office_365/token_manager.py", line 51, in generate_app_token
    if account.authenticate():
TypeError: authenticate() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'scopes'

1. In order to bypass the issue#1, I passed in default scope. This time, the method account.authenticate print’s a URL that I have to visit in order to give consent. If I understand this correctly, the URL for consent should only be needed when using “on behalf of the user” authentication method.

Can you check now? version 2.0.3 is on pypi with the fix

Verified 2.0.3 works with application ID and application secret along with a custom tenant. Thanks again @janscas 😃
