GLPI configuration

• When you click on Save, you will be redirected to the Microsoft account to be connected.

Point of attention

The account synchronised with Oauth SMTP must also be the one sending the emails. This account is identified in the sender's email

Authenticated SMTP configuration

In order for the account using SMTP services to be authorised to send mail, it is imperative to activate authenticated SMTP from the Entra Tenant.

• Connect to your tenant

• Go to Users > Active users and click on the relevant account

• Then go to Mail > Manage mail applications and select SMTP Authenticated

Authenticated SMTP enabled

Send test

• Once you have entered your Microsoft account details, you will need to accept the necessary authorisations. All that's left is to carry out a test send.
