We are facing this issue again (this time for an attended process) while using Sharepoint application scope (UiPathteam.SharePoint.Activities v1.7.0):
Get List Items: The sign-in name or password does not match one in the Microsoft account system.
I know this has been a known issue for a while(since 2023), and we were advised to switch to Microsoft O365 package.
But, I wanted to check with you all if any other solution has been found to this problem statement than switching to o365 package as this switch is not really a quick/simple way for us given our organization setup.
Same issue we are facing as well. Until today evening it was fine but after that we started receiving the same issue. Did you manage to solve the problem?
Though, I am not quite sure if this is something that would be approved by our security team, however, I will check with them and revert back.
It would be really helpful for us right now if this works as we have processes that require downloading of sharepoint list attachments and there seems to be no direct activity available in O365 package for same.
This solution by Bhagyashri didn’t work in our case but we used an alternative method and it worked.
We mapped the SharePoint folder in OneDrive desktop (open the SharePoint folder and add a shortcut to your OneDrive), now we are using this SharePoint folder as a local folder in this virtual desktop.
If you are using this method please make sure “Always keep on this device” is checked. To avoid any syncing issue while re-uploading or modifying the an existing file.
We are trying to change this setting and see if it works in our org. I will update on same once we are able to test.
Yes, for other sharepoint activities, there is an alternate solution available in o365 package as well. And the solution you have shared, we are also using the same in many other projects.
However, for me, current requirement is to deal with sharepoint list item.
We need to download list attachments, for that we have not been able to find a solution yet. If you come across any working solution for same, kindly share
We have now moved to O365 package. This is also recommended my UiPath and functionality is extremely stable. Works flawlessly for SharePoint list items, OneDrive and outlook.
yes, thats right. We have also moved most of our processes to O365 package. However, this one doesn’t have any activity to interact with list item attachments.
hence, we are struggling to do the same. Currently trying to see if the attachment URLs are exposed via http request.
We checked in our org for excluding users for legacy authentication, however, due to security concerns, that cannot be enabled. But this was spot on!! it really was the root cause of this error. Thanks for that @bhagyashri.kasture.
O365 have limitation - it can’t fetch attachment URLs from sharepoint list items, so we ended up trying below solutions:
Fetch attachments details from sharepoint list via http request. This step should work but didn’t work in our case due to access issues, seems like app id and secret had some restrictions which we have not been able to resolve yet.
Created a power automate flow to fetch attachment details. Call that PA flow using http request from UiPath and collect the response. This worked like a charm!
Hope this helps someone struggling with this issue.
