Authentication

[jlicini]

1. What is the differnce between:

• app principals (client credentials) auth (refer Granting access using SharePoint App-Only for a details)
• user credentials auth

2. Why when I use :

 use Office365\Runtime\Auth\UserCredentials;
 use Office365\SharePoint\ClientContext;
 
 $credentials = new UserCredentials("myuser", "mypsw");
 $ctx = (new ClientContext("https//mydomainname.sharepoint.com"))->withCredentials($credentials);

I have this problem Authentication failed: An error occurred while obtaining a token, check your URL or credentials

Try including the site itself in the url for your site: https//mydomainname.sharepoint.com/sites/foobar

https//mydomainname.sharepoint.com => https://mydomainname.sharepoint.com
