Issue

  • Need to configure AWS email service to Liferay with the use of OAuth 2.0 authorization.
  • Configure SMTP with client ID/Secret instead of the use of email address and password i.e. Basic Authentication.

Environment

  • DXP 2024.Q1

Resolution

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides various email services, including Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), which allows sending emails using SMTP.
  • Configuring the SMTP using Amazon SES supports only Basic Authentication as of now (i.e. connecting with an email address and password). 
  • Configure AWS email service to Liferay with the use of OAuth 2.0 authorization is considered a feature request and is being covered here: LPD-29120  


Additional Information

  • Requesting a New Feature or Feature Improvement
  • Please be aware that the implementation of new ideas within Liferay products is entirely dependent on their evaluation or investigations since this will need modifying existing product code, therefore there will be no ETA on this, but users can certainly vote for it.
