As a system administrator, you can configure e-mail listeners to use OAuth 2.0 for
cloud-based e-mail providers that also use OAuth 2.0.
Before you begin
Ensure that the version of the JavaMail API that is included in your Java™ 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition application server is version 1.5.2 or
later. Earlier versions do not support 0Auth 2.0. If 0Auth 2.0 is selected in the e-mail listener
but is not supported by the API, the IMAP protocol is used instead.
About this task
When you configure OAuth2.0 for an e-mail listener, you specify information for the e-mail
address and provider. A limited-lifespan access token is automatically obtained by using that
information. The life of the token is typically 1 hour, and a new token is obtained when the prior
token expires.
Procedure
-
In the E-Mail Listeners application, open the e-mail listener.
- In the Protocol field, select oauth.
- In the OAuth 2.0 Configuration section, specify the relevant information. Review the
documentation for your e-mail provider to determine how to retrieve the information.
- In the Client ID field, specify the client ID.
- In the Client Secret field, specify the client
secret.
- In the Refresh Token field, specify the refresh token for the
e-mail address.
- In the Token URL field, specify the access token URL for the
e-mail provider.
