Does ONTAP support OAuth 2.0 authentication for ASUP email hosts
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Microsoft 365
- Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (AWS SES)
- Open Authorization (OAuth)
Answer
- ONTAP does not support OAuth 2.0 for ASUP email transmission.
- Microsoft 365 will deprecate basic authentication by September 2025 and require OAuth 2.0 for SMTP authentication.
- When basic authentication is disabled in Microsoft 365, ASUP email transmission using Microsoft 365 will not work.
- ONTAP supports HTTPS for ASUP transmission as an alternative to email-based ASUP.
- Using Microsoft 365 as an ASUP email host must consider the following options:
- Upgrade to ONTAP 9.16 or later to enable TLS authentication if their email host requires it.
- Prepare an alternative email host that supports basic authentication or HTTPS for ASUP transmission.
