What’s New in This Patch Release
HF801-02 extends Composer 8 to support OAuth 2.0-enabled email services. This update allows Composer 8 processes to securely integrate with Microsoft 365 email services using modern, token-based authentication, helping customers transition away from Basic Authentication while maintaining existing workflows.
SMTPMailService
Send emails using OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication, with support for typical email needs such as attachments and encryption (where configured).
POP3MailService
Receive and process emails using OAuth 2.0 tokens instead of stored usernames and passwords.
Supported OAuth 2.0 Parameters in Composer 8
Composer 8 exposes the following OAuth 2.0 configuration parameters for SMTP and POP3 activities:
- Authentication type
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Authentication Token Endpoint
- Authentication Scope
Why This Matters
Improved Security
OAuth 2.0 removes the need for static credentials by using short-lived access tokens, reducing the risk of credential theft.
Microsoft 365 Ready
As Microsoft continues to phase out Basic Authentication for Exchange Online (officially deprecated from April 2026), this patch ensures Composer-based email integrations remain compliant and supported.
Minimal Workflow Change
Existing Composer workflows can continue to operate while adopting OAuth 2.0, avoiding costly redesigns.
Flexible Migration
Composer 8 remains backward-compatible with Basic Authentication, enabling a phased and low-risk transition
