Microsoft retires SMTP Basic Auth

Hello,

We have a growing number of customers who rely on Qlik NPrinting for their email reporting distribution via Office 365 (Exchange Online).

As many of you know, Microsoft has been proactively disabling Basic Authentication for SMTP AUTH, with a final deadline for full retirement currently set for April 2026.
Exchange Online to retire Basic auth for Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) | Microsoft Community Hub

Since NPrinting currently only supports Basic Authentication for its built-in SMTP connection, this presents a significant problem for many organizations.

The Problem

  • NPrinting currently does not support OAuth 2.0 (Modern Authentication) for connecting to smtp.office365.com.

  • As Microsoft retires Basic Auth, our current reporting setup for many customers will break entirely.

My Questions for the Community & Qlik

  1. Is there any official roadmap information regarding the implementation of OAuth 2.0 / Modern Authentication for NPrinting's SMTP configuration?

  2. What is the long-term, supported strategy for Qlik NPrinting to connect to Microsoft 365 mailboxes for report distribution?

@Suhr ,

I've seen many customers using services like Amazon SES (stands for Simple Email Service) to act as the email sender service.

You would still use your corporate domain, preserving the identity. And you wouldn't be limited to Microsoft's supported protocols.
