From Sage 100 Help regarding configuring E-mail settings in Company Maintenance: E-mail Authentication Method - Select an authentication method.
- Basic authentication requires the use of a user name and password.
- If you select Basic, 25 is the default value in the Port field.
- OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open standard authorization protocol used to grant access using access tokens instead of sharing a user name and password.
- If you're going to use the OAuth method, you will need to obtain your OAuth client credentials from your authenticating application, such as Microsoft or Google.
- If you select OAuth, 587 is the default value in the Port field and TLS is the default SMTP Encryption type.

Address Type the DNS address or IP address of the SMTP e-mail server. Port Type the port ID that the SMTP e-mail server is using if it is not using the default port. If you selected Basic as the authentication method, the default port is 25. If you selected OAuth, the default port is 587 and the default Encryption is TLS. SMTP Encryption Select the type of encryption to use between the SMTP client and SMTP server when sending e-mail. - Select None for no encryption. This is traditionally offered on port ID 25.
- Select SSL (sometimes called Implicit SSL) to encrypt the communication for the entire session. This is normally offered on port ID 465.
- Select TLS (sometimes called Explicit SSL) to begin the communication unencrypted, and then the client issues a STARTTLS command to start using encryption before authenticating and sending the e-mail. This can be offered on a variety of ports including port ID 25, 443, or 587.
- If you selected OAuth as the authentication method, the default selection is TLS, but it can be changed.
User ID Type the user ID to use to log on to the SMTP e-mail server. Domain If a domain name is required by your SMTP server, type the domain name. This field is available if Basic is selected in the Authentication Method field. Password Type the user ID password to log on to the SMTP e-mail server. This field is available if Basic is selected in the Authentication Method field. Confirm Password Retype the user ID password to confirm the password. This field is available if Basic is selected in the Authentication Method field. Client ID Enter the client ID that will identify the application to the OAuth service. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Client Secret Enter the client secret for the application on the OAuth service. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Auth End Point Enter the URL provided by the OAuth service that is used to obtain an authorization grant. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Token End Point Enter the URL provided by the OAuth service for exchanging an authorization grant for an access token. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Scope Enter the scope of access as required by the OAuth service. If you're entering multiple scopes, separate them with a space. Examples This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Redirect URL Enter the callback URL. Leaving this field blank or entering http://localhost will work for most OAuth services. For OAuth services that do not allow http://localhost:port callback URLs, enter a URI on your web server that is configured to send a response to redirect back to http://localhost:3017. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Redirect Port If the OAuth service requires that a specific port be used to listen for the redirect URI request, enter the port number here. If the OAuth service does not require a specific port, enter 0 (zero). A random port will be used. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Code Challenge Method Select the option specified in the OAuth service requirements. This field is available if OAuth is selected in the Authentication Method field. Use 128-bit Encryption for Password Protected Documents Select this check box to use the 128-bit encryption when password-protected documents are e-mailed. Clear this check box if you do not want to use encryption for e-mails. |
