anchor link Requirements to authenticate against seppmail.cloud

A number of requirements have to be met in order to authenticate against seppmail.cloud via M365.

  • seppmail.cloud only accepts business Microsoft accounts, not private or consumer accounts.
  • The so-called primary SMTP address of the M365 user must match exactly the email address of the user in seppmail.cloud. (This is also why the consent step during the M365 login popup is necessary, because SEPPmail has to read the primary SMTP address of that M365 user to compare it against the seppmail.cloud database).
  • The M365 tenant admin must allow that their M365 users have the permissions to give consent to 3rd-party applications like the seppmail.cloud application. The request for permission needs to be accepted during the first login via M365, see above.
  • There is a new Extended Field setting called Enable Login via M365. Per default, it is switched to on, meaning that every user can sign in via this option. This default can be overruled by the settings for the domain and the internal user, see below.
