OAuth Support for SMTP Email in Exchange Online
Alteryx Server now supports OAuth for SMTP email delivery, in response to Microsoft’s retirement of Basic Authentication in Exchange Online starting March 2025.
If you use Exchange Online, update your SMTP authentication settings in System Settings > Server UI to ensure continued delivery of critical system emails, including workflow alerts and notifications.
For more information on how to configure Server email, go to Configure Email for Server Notifications.
Centralized Proxy Management
We’ve added support for centralized proxy management on Alteryx Server for engine runs on Worker nodes. This update aligns Server more closely with Designer and provides improved proxy configuration consistency, visibility, and control.
For more information about the new proxy settings, refer to the Engine and Data Connection Manager help pages.
AI Tools Support on Server
Added support for running workflows that include Prompt and LLM Override tools on Alteryx Server.
To run these workflows on Server, you must configure a DCM connection that authenticates to Alteryx One using Service Principal credentials. Update the Prompt and LLM Override tools to use this DCM connection instead of Designer’s Active Link, and ensure all referenced LLM connections are shared (with credentials) with the Service Principal.
Workflows run successfully on Server when DCM connections are synchronized and the Server environment allows network access to the Alteryx One Platform.
