Configure the Notification service with Microsoft 365 SMTP server and Modern Authentication

This topic describes the second part of the fourth configuration task in the process of setting up the Notification service configured with Microsoft 365 SMTP server to use modern authentication.

Perform this task in the eCopy ShareScan Administration Console after you have successfully:

  • registered a Microsoft 365 application for Token Vault through the Microsoft Identity Platform (Azure Active Directory) admin center,
  • registered a Microsoft 365 authorization provider with Exchange scope set in Token Vault,
  • authorized Token Vault in Microsoft 365, and
  • configured Token Vault settings in the ShareScan Administration Console under Advanced > Tools.

To configure the eCopy ShareScan Notification service with Microsoft 365 SMTP server and modern authentication, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Notification service configuration panel, and set the Configured setting as 'Yes' in the Administration Console.
  2. For SMTP Server type, either select 'Microsoft 365' to set the default values for the Microsoft 365 SMTP server automatically, or select 'Generic' and enter the Microsoft 365 SMTP server fully qualified name and port as SMTP Server and SMTP server port , and then select 'Yes' as Secure SMTP.
  3. Select Use Modern Authentication (OAuth2) as the SMTP Server Authentication.
  4. Enter the Username, Password and Domain to specify the user under the Token Vault setting group.
    Verify that this user has previously authorized the Token Vault in Microsoft 365 through a Token Vault Microsoft 365 authorization provider - as described in Authorize a Microsoft 365 provider in Token Vault.
  5. Configure other settings for the Notification service (such as From and To under the E-mail address setting group).
  6. Click the Test button to test the configuration.

    If the above authorization was not completed before the test, this test fails.

  7. Continue the Notification service configuration.

    Once these configuration steps are also complete, the Notification service configured with Microsoft 365 SMTP server and modern authentication is operational in the eCopy ShareScan workflows.
