Developer issue, not Outlook desktop client issue. So I removed the Outlook tag here. And to better help solve your issue, I added some dev-related tags here. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Your Outlook add-in can access information from anywhere on the Internet, whether from the server that hosts the add-in, from your internal network, or from somewhere else in the cloud. If that information is protected, your add-in needs a way to authenticate your user. Outlook add-ins provide a number of different methods to authenticate, depending on your specific scenario. You may want get it started from here, consider oAuth2 flows and see other which options suits your scenario.
