In PBXware version 7, Oauth option has been added for Google and Microsoft 365 mail servers, and the SMTP configuration
page has been updated accordingly.
Although users can still use basic SMTP configuration to manually set up Gmail or Microsoft SMTP connection, the Oauth
option has been added for Google and Microsoft mail servers.
The first step is to select one of the three available authentication types:
Basic - for custom SMTP configuration
Google - for use with Google OAuth or
Microsoft - for use with Office365 OAuth
NOTE: If STARTTLS is selected, Server Port should be set to 587. Alternatively, use port number 465.
If one of the Oauth authorization options is selected, the matching server address will auto-populate
(smtp.gmail.com, smtp.office365.com).
To proceed with configuration, you will have to enter a valid E-mail account.
Google - OAuth Authentication
The next step is to get the authorization code, to obtain it, you must click on the Get Code button.
Once the authorization code is acquired, paste it into the Auth code field and click the Get Token button.
If all fields are correctly populated, a notification that the token is generated will be displayed.
Click OK and then click Save to preserve the configuration.
Microsoft - OAuth Authentication for Office365
The next step is to get the authorization code, to obtain it, you must click on the Get Code button.
Once the authorization code is acquired, paste it into the Auth code field and click the Get Token button.
If all fields are correctly populated, a notification that the token is generated will be displayed.
Click OK and then click Save to preserve the configuration.
With everything in place, your PBXware should be ready to use the configured SMTP server and send e-mail notifications.
NOTE: Please note, for Google and Microsoft account setup, the e-mail address used must be the same as the one you
used to log into your Google/Microsoft account.
