Updating your Microsoft 365 Backup Certificate

Overview¤

This guide outlines the steps required to upload a new public key (certificate) to your Microsoft 365 tenancy to ensure the correct functioning of your AUColoud M365 Backup Solution. As an AUCloud M365 backup customer, you will be provided with a public key during your initial onboarding. Throughout the duration of your M365 backup service, your public key will expire annually. AUCloud will reach out to you with a new public key prior to expiry, and request that you update your public key using these instructions.
