PowersHell and Basic authentication
Because Exchange and SfBO use "hacks" to connect. They are basically fetching the token via the ADAL controls, but still passing it using Basic authentication. I have some examples on how you can do this on my blog: https://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/1771/hacking-your-way-around-modern-authentication-and-the-powershell-modules-for-office-365
Bottom line is, they do need Basic authentication enabled in WinRM settings.
VasilMichev"They are basically fetching the token via the ADAL controls, but still passing it using Basic authentication." Is this based on your own investigation or do you have a document that spells this out?
No need for a document, simply look at the way credentials are passed and the connection string.
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/PowerShell-LiveId?BasicAuthToOAuthConversion=true -Credential $Ctoken -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
