Setting up the bot user The bridge requires a Teams user to be registered as a "bot" to send messages on behalf of Matrix users. You just need to allocate one user from the Teams interface to do this. First, you must go to the Azure Active Directory page. Click users. Click New user. Ensure Create user is selected. Enter a User name ex. "matrixbridge". Enter a Name ex. "Matrix Bridge". Enter an Initial password. Create the user. Optionally, set more profile details like an avatar. You will now need to log in as this new bot user to set a permanent password (Teams requires you to reset the password on login). After logging in you should be prompted to set a new password. Enter the bot username and password into config under teams_bot_username and teams_bot_password Getting the groupId The groupId can be found by opening Teams, clicking ... on a team, and clicking "Get link to team". The groupId is included in the URL 12345678-abcd-efgh-ijkl-lmnopqrstuvw in this example. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3XXX%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=12345678-abcd-efgh-ijkl-lmnopqrstuvw&tenantId=87654321-dcba-hgfe-lkji-zyxwvutsrqpo On the hosting machine Generate teams registration keys openssl genrsa -out teams.key 1024 openssl req -new -x509 -key teams.key -out teams.crt -days 365 These keys need to be placed in ~/.element-enterprise-server/config/legacy/certs/teams on the machine that you are running the installer on.
