On-Prem BC Current User Email Setup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mnitcomputerguy 22

I have a customer that wants to use the "Current User" setup to allow individual users to send email from their on premise BC 18 environment.  

Does that require setting up Azure AD authentication on the BC services like the edit in excel functionality does or do we only have to create an Azure App and associate it?  I'm unclear on this from the documentation. 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi, yes you need to register an application in Azure Active Directory.

    Hope the following will help.

    I understand that an app registration needs to be created but does the user need to sign into business central with azure credentials or can this work with local windows ad authentication, navuser password etc.

    Hello,

    This is not a requirement though we do recommend to use Azure AD authentication with at least MFA enabled.

    Thanks.
