#Tips & Tricks

. . . 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.authenticator.AccessToken = "user="_emailaddress_$C(1)_"auth=Bearer "_token_$C(1,1)

Hey Community, 

Yeah, I know we have a lot of tips & tricks articles - we even have a special tag for it, right? But I can not share my own collection. In this collection, you can find snippets for beginners, as well as some everyday ObjectScript constructions. In fact, it's also a way to learn something new about my favorite programming language. So, if you guys have anything to add, you are welcome!

If you’re wondering where to begin, here’s what you’ll find there:

The Management Portal doesn't have a native way to switch to Dark Mode. This can be resolved using a Chrome extension called Dark Reader. See the result:

Hi, every one. Again, it's me!!😀😀

Recently I was trying to organize some learning materials for InterSystems IRIS😆, and realized that the resources are actually quite scattered.🤐

So I put together a list here—grouped by categories—for anyone who:

• is new to InterSystems
• or wants to go deeper into specific areas

Also adding some of my own experience on what worked (and what didn’t, may be only not work for me🤫🤐).
