Switching from SMTP to oAuth

Hi,

Because of a new company policy need to switch our site email configurations from SMTP to oAuth. However, I can’t find that option in the admin panel.

Any help?

Thanks

SMTP sends emails (daily digests, password reset), while OAuth authenticates (and logs in) users. I don’t think they are substitutes for each other, unless I’m understanding wrong…

If I understand correctly, I think a similar question has been asked a few years back, and this was the response:

Grazie per la referenza alla discussione precedente.
Tuttavia da parte del nostro IT mi dicono:

This response seems to be misleading. SMTP Auth is a parent category that includes both basic and modern auth (OAuth2). By the description of the configuration, you are still configuring basic username and password. Here is an explanation from the Microsoft forums:

“SMTP AUTH is usually recommended by most vendors/suppliers and is supported by most apps/devices. SMTP AUTH can be done using Basic and Modern Auth, depending on the vendor/app/device (but since MS is deprecating basic auth, it needs to be configured with Modern Auth)… Modern authentication is based on the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) and OAuth 2.0.”

So while it is correct that Microsoft is not discontinuing SMTP Auth, it is true that one of the methods included in SMTP Auth will not be available (specifically using a username and password).

La soluzione suggerita non sembra applicable per come viene descritta. Come possiamo fare?
