The G4MSREGSVC command allows you to register a service with your Microsoft ID.  Registering a service allows G4MS to access the functionality of this service for the ID specified using OAuth v2.0 security.

When this command is run you'll be presented with a URL to go to in your browser after first signing into your Microsoft account.  

Next you'll be given a code to enter when asked.  You will then be asked in the browser if you wish to grant access to G4MS to the specific service.  Once complete, G4MS will have access to the particular service for your Microsoft ID.

See the example below for the flow you should expect.

• Microsoft ID  - Specify the Microsoft ID that you want to register a service for.  Normally this is your Outlook address (including outlook.com).

• Service  - Specify the service to register.

• Registration Method - If you want to try registering using a userid and password, specify *USERPW for this and enter the password for the account on the PASSWORD parameter.  Otherwise leave this as *WEB.

• Tenant - Normally this will be left as the default

• Password - Enter the password for the account if registering using a password instead of the web method.

• Register for Groups - Specify *YES if you would like to add the scopes/permissions for working with Groups.

• Redo Registration - If you have previously registered and are re-registering because of an expired password or another update, specify *YES.

• CCSID - Sepcify a CCSID to use for data conversions.

• Debug - Specify *YES to turn on debugging.

• Debug File - Enter the fully qualified name of the debug file you wish to use.  If left blank, this value defaults to /tmp/g4ms_<id>_registerServiceDebug.txt.
