. . . you are not alone. 

Help is available.

This took me a while to figure out, and I assume there may be others struggling too. I made my way through all the Entra stuff to set up a client credentials workflow to send email through a Microsoft 365 account. I was able to successfully retrieve my token, but I couldn't ever get it to authenticate with the SMTP server using the %Net.SMTP class. There were two parts to fixing this.

First, the authenticator's access token needs to be more than JUST the access token. It has to be formatted as:

set smtp.

This article is intended as a beginner level article for people that want to learn how to use OAuth2 in their web applications natively.

There is an accompanying video/demo that may be helpful here: 

and you can reproduce this locally with the Open Exchange application attached.

OAuth2 as a native authentication type for web applications

Question Bernat · Mar 30

Hi everyone,

I’ve configured an integration scenario in InterSystems IRIS with a Business Service exposed as a SOAP web service. Everything works correctly when the web application allows unauthenticated access.

However, when I switch the web application to require Basic Authentication, I’m unable to get it working properly. I have configured a resource and assigned it to both the web application and the user I’m using for the request, but I consistently get login failures (visible in the audit log).
