I can't wait to see how they do this. Better late than never I guess.

I wonder if part of it will part of it be setting up an app in O365 or
GMail for your organization or will IBM take care of that themselves (which
makes things SO much easier for the end user)?

I know with Google getting your app verified is impossible with the scopes
required, but creating your own internal app doesn't need verification.

IBM i Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) support for OAuth 2.0
OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open-standard protocol that uses access
tokens rather than credentials like username and password. The access

token

grants scoped and time-limited permissions to access user data on another
service.

Many providers currently or will require OAuth tokens instead of

passwords.

IBM i SMTP will support OAuth 2.0 by 19 June 2026 for IBM i 7.4 and

later.

Implements as Service Account with domain-wide delegation
Supports Gmail (Google Workspace) and Office 365 (Microsoft 365)
