M365 support for sending email? Legacy SMTP Username/Password to be retired Started By DNNDude Hi Nukers, Does DNN support sending email via M365 without resorting to legacy username/password authentication I currently have sites configured to use Gmail SMTP with a username/password. In order to use this legacy authentication method, you need to configure Gmail to 'allow less secure applications', etc. Is Oauth / App registrations possible to send email, or is SMTP the only way wtih DNN	14	5631	4	5/28/2022 10:04 PM by DNNDude
Changing SMTP settings creates errors with SMTP Started By amurraygbhu So I have been using DNN locally for a while now and SMTP has been working fine. My server is hosted on site. I use an SMTP relay on my local environment that sends the email to Office 365. For Authentication I use anonymous. I am working on moving my website to a web host and so I need to change the SMTP settings. I changed it to OAuth and tried to get OAuth to work. Not having much success, but that might be another issue unless someone has good documentation. I get an error that the URL Redir...	2	871	0	4/9/2024 10:17 AM by amurraygbhu
Cannot use Office 365 OAUTH2 Started By Fab.Lser Hello, I have some throubles configuring Office 365 oauth2. I created the application in Office365 and configured it in my DNN test installation.

How to force lower case urls? Started By tony bonn There is a site setting for SEO which enables forcing urls as lower case. i probably misunderstand the feature, but i thought that it would force urls lower case even if the page name was upper or mixed case.

Can I add conditions on a page? Started By MakHen Hello, I don't have access to our website's server computer, but I am wondering if it's possible for me (as someone who can otherwise edit the websie, add and remove modules, etc.) to create conditions on a page. What I mean is, if only people named 'John' can buy tomatoes, the box to tick for tomatoes won't be selectable unless a name field equals 'John'. Pretty rough example but that's what I need. Thanks!	5	290	1	1/15/2025 3:36 PM by MakHen
