Hi I’m using a ficus deployment and recently Microsoft disabeld basic auth for their SMTP. I wanted to know how to migrate from basic auth to oauth to comply. Thank you.

Hi @swigman

there is no known way to authenticate SMTP connection via complex schemes like oauth.
can you please provide more details on your issue?

this is example of OpenEdx configuration, which is currently works perfect:

EDXAPP_EMAIL_HOST: "smtp.office365.com"
EDXAPP_EMAIL_HOST_USER: "support@my-project.com"
EDXAPP_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD: "***********"
EDXAPP_EMAIL_PORT: 587
EDXAPP_EMAIL_USE_TLS: True
EDXAPP_DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL: "support@my-project.com"
