Issue/Introduction
This article addresses queries regarding the support for modern authentication methods, specifically OAuth 2.0, when configuring email notifications.
Environment
VCF Operations for Networks
Cause
Native support for OAuth 2.0 authentication for outgoing mail is currently a product limitation. The built-in mail server configuration in VCF Operations for Networks is designed to use standard SMTP parameters, including:
- Sender Email Address
- Mail Server FQDN/IP and Port
- Standard Username/Password (Basic Authentication)
Resolution
Currently, there is no native resolution or workaround available within the product UI to enable OAuth 2.0 authentication directly.
To ensure successful delivery of email notifications, outgoing mail configurations must utilize supported standard SMTP parameters with Basic Authentication or leverage an internal SMTP relay configured to accept standard SMTP traffic from VCF Operations for Networks before relaying out via modern authentication.
