Subject: [RFC cluster/docs/manager/proxmox{,-perl-rs,-widget-toolkit} 00/15] fix #7238: Add XOAUTH2 authentication support for SMTP notification targets
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 17:13:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204161354.458814-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
Sending this as an RFC to get early feedback on the overall direction.
This series adds OAuth2 support for SMTP notification targets, motivated by Microsoft's
upcoming deprecation of basic authentication for SMTP [1]. Google and Microsoft are supported as
OAuth2 providers.
The main architectural decisions are:
- OAuth2 refresh tokens are treated as state, not config. They are persisted in a separate JSON file and managed
entirely from the Rust side via standard I/O.
- The oauth2 crate is used with a local ureq backend (newtype over ureq::Agent), since the upstream ureq feature
is currently patched out in Debian due to a ureq 2/3 version mismatch [2].
- Token refresh is triggered both proactively via pveupdate and when sending a notification to handle idle periods
and providers like Microsoft that rotate refresh tokens on every use.
Known issues:
- Microsoft is untested (no test tenant, somehow impossible to create a free test account)
