Hello everyone.
I think Passbolt is great.
I use Passbolt on a Debian 12 server.
I use the latest version of passbolt.

I would like to configure the Passbolt mail server with 365.
I’ve tried several leads, including this one:

But this procedure is almost 4 years old, and Microsoft has changed its security policy since then.
My Passbolt installation works with another mail server, but now, I must use 365.

Could someone give me a procedure or could the admins update this procedure ?

My tests answer : timeout or wrong password.

hey @yoannyop welcome to the forum!

Could you paste the actual output from the send test email?

Additionally could you share your config for this? (make sure to censor anything that you need to hide)

Hello and thank you for response.

My configuration :

Email provider = Other
Athentification = username & pwd
username = user@mydomaine.fr
smtp host = smtp.office365.com
TLS = yes
port = 587
smtp client = mydomaine.fr
sender name = user@mydomaine.fr
sender email = user@mydomaine.fr

this user can send email from another webapp

Output from send test email :

Thanks a lot

I believe you don’t need this for o365, could you try with that empty?

Thanks, but error again.

It seems 4.5.0-rc.1 release has added feature “PB-21484 As an administrator I can define Microsoft 365 and Outlook providers in SMTP settings”. Maybe this will make 365 mail integration easier, haven’t tested it yet though…

Thanks for the information. I hope so too.

So, wait and see …

:pray:

Hello all.

How can I be informed of the release of the update, other than by visiting this forum every day?

Thanks a lot.

Easiest way is by following our RSS feed

Of course.

Thank a lot.

Hello @yoannyop

Just to confirm, are you using your own password or an app password for the authentication? Also is the sender email the account where this app password have been created?

Hello.
The app password function has not been available with 365 for at least a year.
I therefore use a user password, which I use in particular for GLPI (with Oauth authentication) or Zabbix.
Have a nice day.

Hello.
Nobody use o365 with Passbolt to help me ?

Hello @yoannyop !

Where you able to upgrade your Passbolt server to the latest version?

Hello Steph.
Yes, I update each version as soon as they are released.
I’m trying every combination with o365 but nothing.

Just to clarify, my server is not accessible from the Internet.

Hello @yoannyop,

Did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem when trying to send a test mail.

Hello Mikey.
No solution, I don’t understand, we shouldn’t be the only ones to use emails with 365?
In fact, I’m still waiting a little while, but otherwise I don’t know if I’ll continue to use Passbolt because of this problem.
Have a nice day.

Hello guys,

I took a look at the official documentation. From that it looks like you’ll need to make some adjustments to settings on the microsoft side to allow this authentication type.

Also, @Mikey, is the server air gapped or is just not being accessible from internet?

Hi,

I made the ajustments to the mailbox i want to use for passbolt. And becasue of 2fa i use a AppPassword as recommended by Microsoft.

My server is accessible from the internet, so users can assesses it with extra vpn installation.

Hello all… I just installed Passbolt with an email account on M365. It’s just using SMTP AUTH, and it works fine. Depending on the age of your tenant, it’s probably important to check the status of SMTP AUTH for the account and, if necessary, enable it:
