KanBo Modern Webpart Installation

1. Before you start, make sure you have the right permissions to access the SharePoint Admin Center of your Office 365 tenant – to do so try to open this link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185077

2. Locate your KanBo web.config and open it with any text editor.

3. Anywhere in the <plugins> section, add these lines:

<auth.app issuer="ISSUER">

<signature algo="hs256" password="PASSWORD"/>

<mapper type="login" roles="external-services"/>

</auth.app>

Replace the ISSUER with the issuer name You want to use and replace PASSWORD with a secure password.

Example:

<auth.app issuer="KanBoWebPart">

<signature algo="hs256" password="Sup3rPa$word"/>

<mapper type="login" roles="external-services"/>


</auth.app>

4. Save the web.config

5. Locate the .sppkg package (SharePoint hosted App) you have downloaded from the link we sent you.

6. Change the extension of the file from .sppkg to .zip

7. Open the .zip file, go to the folder named “1c14dbb2-0965-4ae3-98da-6133ccf74bbe” and unpack the “WebPart_1c14dbb2-0965-4ae3-98da-6133ccf74bbe.xml” file to another folder

8. Open the XML file with a file editor

9. We will have to find and change 3 values:

- Search for {kanbo-url} and replace kanbo-url with the URL of Your KanBo, like https://mykanbo.com

- Then search for {password} and replace it with the password You’ve set in the webconfig in step 2

- Lastly, look for {issuer-name} and replace it with the issuer name set in step 2

After all that is done, the exerpt from the .xml file should look like this:

Save the file
