In Devolutions Server, the modern authentication for Azure can be used for the email configuration.

Before proceeding with the configuration in Devolutions Server, you must perform the following in your Azure portal:

1. Create an app registration. You can also reuse the one used for Azure AD / Office 365 authentication.

2. Add the "Mail.Send" application permission.

You can now configure the SMTP email in Devolutions Server.

1. In Devolutions Server, go to Administration – Server Settings – Email.

2. In the Authentication type drop-down list, select Azure.

   

3. In the Administrator Email field, enter the recipient email address that will receive the errors.

4. In the Client ID field, enter the ID of the application. In the Azure portal, this information is called Application (client) ID and can be found in the Overview of your app.

5. In the Tenant ID field, enter the ID of the tenant that can be found in the Overview of your application.

6. In the User ID field, enter the ID of the user that is listed in the "From" section of the email.
