How to configure email sending via SMTP using OAuth2 authentication in KIC

Solution

See the References at the bottom of the page for related documentation and information.

Below, you can find screenshots for a sample configuration for sending out emails via SMTP using OAuth 2 authentication in KIC.
It's recommended to have a separate Application on Azure for this purpose.
KIC only supports the Authorization Code Grant for this purpose. 
This sample configuration uses the "Authorization Code Grant" with the "Mobile and desktop applications" platform.
