Configuring Orchid Modules with Office 365 and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Overview

As security is increasingly strict, many users of Orchid modules have disabled basic authentication and enabled Multi-Factor Authentication.

This applies to sending emails using SMTP and to configuring Document Management Link with SharePoint.

Sending Emails

Orchid modules support Microsoft Graph to send emails without using basic authentication and App Passwords if enabled for the users with MFA.

Refer to Office 365 and Microsoft Graph and Using Orchid Modules with Office 365 App Passwords

DML and SharePoint

To configure SharePoint for Office 365 integration with Document Management Link, you need to use the Interactive method as Microsoft has retired support for Basic Authentication in Office 365.

  • Leave the SharePoint details blank in the tray

  • DML will prompt the users for details in a browser.
