Authentication: Microsoft

Follow the step-by-step guide on the following page: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/entra/identity-platform/quickstart-register-app

  • Keep the ObjectId and ApplicationId, as they will be used in later steps.
  • In the step for adding credentials, create a client secret and save this information, as it will also be necessary for later steps.

Configure API permissions

In the application created, follow the step-by-step guide on the following page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/exchange/client-developer/legacy-protocols/how-to-authenticate-an-imap-pop-smtp-application-by-using-oauth#useclient-credentials-grant-flow-to-authenticate-smtp-imap-and-pop-connections

And provide the following permissions:

  • IMAP.AccessAsApp

  • SMTP.SendAsApp

After doing this, the administrator of your directory will need to create a Service Principal.

Create a service principal

1. Open an Azure PowerShell and install the ExchangeOnlineManagement module:

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllowPrerelease
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement 
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Organization **<tenantId>**

2. Then, register the Service Principal for the application created earlier:

New-ServicePrincipal -AppId **<APPLICATION_ID>** -ObjectId **<OBJECT_ID>** [-Organization **<ORGANIZATION_ID>**]

Delegate permissions to the application

1. To grant permissions to the previously created application, first load the Service Principal using the following command:

Get-ServicePrincipal | fl

2. Now that you have the Service Principal Id, use the following command to grant mailbox permissions for the account the service will be using:

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity **"john.smith@example.com"** -User **<SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_ID>** -AccessRights FullAccess

Configuration in AEVO Innovate

  • Navigate to the SMTP Configuration page

  • Select Microsoft Authentication Type in the dropdown menu

Watch the video below describing the above process:

Field dictionary:

  • Email address: Email for which mailbox permissions were granted

  • Name: The name that will appear as the sender

  • TenantId: TenantId used when creating the application in the first step

  • SMTP User: ApplicationId of the application created in the first step

  • SMTP Password: ClientSecret generated in the first step

Perform the email sending test make sure everything is correctly configured. If successful, you will receive a notification confirming that the test was performed successfully, and the email will arrive in the recipient’s inbox.
