This integration focuses on Mimecast and is using the Mimecast API for interacting with resources.

Mimecast account setup

It is assumed you have admin access to your mimecast account. In the mimecast admin console:

• go to Administration -> Services -> API and Platform Integrations
• go to the Your Application Integrations category
• click on Add API Application or click on an existing enabled Application in this section
• here you will be able to view the Application ID and Application Key, which you will need for authentication.
• If you have not already generated keys, do so now by clicking the Create Keys option
• Save the contents of the accessKey and secretKey generated. They will be needed for authentication

Authentication

Copy the .env.example to .env file and fill in the variables using the user information and API token information generated from instructions above. The mapping is as follows:

• CLIENT_ID= ${accessKey}
• CLIENT_SECRET= ${secretKey}
• APP_KEY= ${Application Key}
• APP_ID= ${Application ID}
