ooauth2.py:
-----------
The script ooauth2.py is a python script that can be used to obtain the initial refresh token 
and access token for an app, or to renew an access token, and in both cases obtain the encoded 
base64 encoded string that is used to add to an authorization command in an IMAP or SMTP 
server.

 * In order to get the initial refresh token and access token, determine the tenant
   you will use. The default is 'common'. You also need to supply the client-id of
   your app.

   ooauth2  [--tenant=common] --client_id=f21d...  --generate_refresh_and_access_token

   The script will give you a url and a code. Open the url with a browser and enter
   the code where requested. You will be redirected to login with your username
   and password. After a succesful login, you will be asked to authorize
   the app. Once you have authorized the app, close that window and return to
   this script. Press "ENTER" and you will see your refresh-token, access-token
   and total amount of time (in seconds) that your token is valid. This is typically
   3600 seconds (one hour). Please note that the refresh token and access token are
   very long strings, each one them should be saved in a file one line long each.

 * You can also use this script to generate a new access_token. In order to do this
   you need the tenant, the client-id, and a refresh-token. Then you would run this
   script as

   ooauth2 [--tenant=common] --client_id=f21d... --refresh_token=MCRagxlHaZfUvV9kG0lnBk...

   as an advice copy and paste the refresh token that you were given into a file,
   and replace the command line option
      --refresh_token=MCRagxlHaZfUvV9kG0lnBk...
   by
      --refresh_token=`cat filename`

 * The last way to use this script is to use the previous commands, but add
   --encoded to any of the previous commands. This will produce a base64 string that
   can be added to an IMAP "AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH2" command, or a "AUTH XOAUTH2" SMTP
   command, to login to that server. The access token will not be displayed, only
   the encoded base64 string. If you use this option, you must also provide
   the --user option. For example:

    ooauth2  [--tenant=common] --client_id=f21d... --generate_refresh_and_access_token \
     --encoded --user=YourID@outlook.com

   or

   ooauth2 [--tenant=common] --client_id=f21d... --refresh_token=MCRagxlHaZfUvV9kG0lnBk... \
   --encoded --user=YourID@outlook.com
