Make APEX Instance OpenID Connect client for email

s.giuffrida Public · Oct 20 2025

Idea Summary
Currently it is possible to configure email of an APEX instance as an SMTP client authenticated with a username and password.

The implementation proposal is to increase APEX security by making possible to configure an instance as an authenticated REST client for a mail service, using OpenID Connect and Oauth2.

Use Case
This configuration is applied whenever APEX_MAIL is used, and the code is not modified/customizable (e. g. Password Reset Emails,
Download and Subscription features in Iteractive Reports and Interactive Grids).

Preferred Solution (Optional)
OpenID Connect and Oauth2 configuration

This idea is open.

    I think it is important to make email communications safer using other tecniques than SMTP. Applications can use custom REST email services but if APEX platform will be equipped with more safier and up-to-date solutions for sending recovery password messages, automatic email from workflows end report notifications it would be a plus.
