Microsoft SMTP authentication with OAuth 2.0

RapidIdentity now supports Microsoft SMTP authentication using OAuth 2.0. Microsoft plans to deprecate basic authentication for SMTP and OAuth 2.0 is the recommended replacement. For more information, see Microsoft's Updated Exchange Online SMTP AUTH Basic Authentication Deprecation Timeline community post.

When you configure email integration, you can choose between the following authentication methods:
  • Microsoft SMTP with OAuth 2.0, which uses token-based authentication

  • Google SMTP with app passwords

Other Changes and Improvements

  • The People and Roles modules now include a Skip to Main option and a consistent navigation element that returns you to the default landing page from any page. These keyboard-accessible bypass mechanisms bring the RapidIdentity portal into conformance with WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.4.1.

  • Additional WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility improvements are available across the Applications, People, and Roles modules and the profile actions in the enterprise view. These improvements include:
    • Content reflows at 400% zoom without horizontal scrolling and the Applications footer collapses into a kebab menu on narrow web views.

    • Custom text spacing applied by assistive tools no longer breaks the screen layout.

    • Tooltips and popovers are hoverable, persistent, and dismissible with the Escape key.

    • App tiles and authentication methods support reordering with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.

    • Visible labels match the accessible name in the Applications module and the self-service menu.

    • Screen readers announce toasts and alerts without moving focus.

    • Application action buttons are focusable and keyboard operable.
