Hi!

A customer reached out and asked about the the SMTP authentication for Event Actions in IFS Cloud 22R1. Are there an option to use a modern authentication (like Oauth 2.0) when connecting to Office 365 Exchange server ? 

 

The background is that Microsoft are moving away from legacy authentication methods (in some areas it’s deprecated) and recommend upgrading your authentication method.

Hi @NovAlbinL, 

I hope you’re doing well and keeping safe.

This is a new feature request and we’re aware of the requirement. And this option will be available with IFS Cloud 22R2 release. 

Best Regards,

Great, thx for the information!

What about IFS10 version? It will not be possible to configure MAIL_SENDER with using MS account?

I hope you’re doing well and keeping safe.

This is a new feature request and we’re aware of the requirement. And this option will be available with IFS Cloud 22R2 release. 

Best Regards,

 

Do we know if this got implimented? 

 

Are there any instructons as I couldn’t get it to work.

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi @NovAlbinL,

Best Regards,

we are trying to do this in 22R2 but I think this is delayed to 22R3 can you please confirm?

Is this feature, promised for 22R2, available yet? We’re on 23R1 and we can’t get it to work. It will be a blocker for our implementation if we can’t send emails through Microsoft Office 365.

I am looking for this functionality too. We are on 23R1, but can’t get it to work. Worked with my partner, no luck. Asked support, they told me to open a consultancy ticket because they don’t support implementing features, opened a consultancy ticket and they forwarded it on to my partner without communicating with me in any way. #momentofservice

Guessing that someone at IFS knows how to configure this. Would be nice if they would share their knowledge.

Exchange Online removed all forms of Basic auth as of 2022-12-31, with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) being the only exception.

SMTP AUTH is now off by default and will be completely going away in September 2025.

We're already looking to move our email tenant to reduce our spend, and it's going to cost us extra money to keep an ERP around that can't support this.

Is this working yet?
