Overview

Special Note

Please consult with your mail-server admin for these details before contacting support. The email system is reliable. The details entered are the only variables.

Don't configure the settings in Email Server Settings. Those settings are not relevant in an Exchange Online environment.

This is a brand-new feature as of 6.9.0. It was produced on an emergency basis to support Advanced Authentication in Exchange Online before Basic Authentication was deprecated. As a result, the interface is subject to changes in subsequent versions.

Changing Email Server Settings

If you need to change your email server settings, please schedule a time when you can change them, then restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service and LaytonServiceDesk service in the Windows Services console. Restarting the World Wide Web Publishing Services is disruptive and Layton ServiceDesk will be unavailable to users while it is restarting.

Failure to restart these services will not purge the old details from memory, and Layton ServiceDesk will continue to try to use the old settings, causing failures to import and send mail.

Configuration

  1. Obtain from your Exchange Online provider, the following values:
    • Client ID
    • Tenant ID
    • Client Secret
    • Exchange Online username, in the format name@domain.
  2. Enter the Client ID in the Client ID field.
  3. Enter the Tenant ID in the Tenant ID field.
  4. Enter the Client Secret in the Client Secret field.
  5. The Display Name field is functionally equivalent to the field on the Email Server Settings page. As of 6.9.0, whatever is populated here will not be saved. Do not use.
  6. Enter the Exchange Online username, in the format name@domain, in the User Email field.
  7. The Password field is not used and will be removed. Do not populate.
  8. Click the Click to Test Exchange button. This will generate an Access Token, which will appear in the Access Token field.
  9. Clicking the Test Settings link will open a dialog where you can enter an email address. Clicking the Save button will send the email.

Queues

Both the incoming and outgoing mail queues can be viewed.

Incoming Email Queue

The Incoming Email queue is available on the Exchange Online Settings page by clicking the View Incoming Emails link, or by clicking the Email Queue button in the header. See here for details on how to use the queue.

Outgoing Email Queue

The Outgoing Email queue is only available on the Exchange Online Settings page by clicking the View Pending Outgoing Emails link. You would not normally need to monitor this page, but would access it to debug outgoing mail.
