Authenticate an IMAP, POP or SMTP connection using OAuth

I don't think you'll be able to do that using the EWS Managed API, which is only available in C#. You'll need to submit a ticket to Adobe to get that resolved.

Thanks.

1) So I see now that the one technote has TWO sections, with the second having a sub-heading of "Apply the update for cfexchange". 

Sadly, the top of the technote really doesn't make that clear, and it would be really helpful if it did--especially for the sake of folks who are being pointed to the technote from elsewhere (slack, twitter, and the tracker ticket on the matter), who may not see the clarification you've offered here.

2) On a separate matter, I notice that the code in the first section names a response.cfm file in the various redirect URLs (within the cfoauth and cfhttp code), but only the second section of the technote actually indicates a code section having that response.cfm file as its name.

Is it that for each of the "get the access token" references (for the smtp, imap, and pop examples), those should have been indicated to be the "response.cfm" referred to for that example? That should be indicated.

3) And since the redirect urls refer to localhost:8500, there should be at least a little clarification in the technote about what that means (and how it may differ for some folks), and most importantly WHERE that response.cfm would be expected to be placed, to be found via that URL.

And people would probably really want such processing done in pages that were in their regular web app code. Some insight into how they should proceed in that respect would be helpful.

4) And if someone might argue "a technote is not the place for all that detail", then fair enough: such things could be discussed in a docs page, and the technote changed to point to that. 

5) Finally, it's not clear if that last sentence (about "impersonating a user" and the new jvm arg) is referring ONLY to the last section on cfexchange or perhaps also is related to the first section. Can you perhaps get that clarified in the note?

As it stands, there is already chatter going on in the tracker ticket about people trying to do what the technote says, and surely many discussions will happen in slack and twitter, etc., if not also here, discussing various aspects of applying the steps in this technote.

That's why I'm trying to get the technote itself to better clarify things--or point to a docs page that does.

As always, just trying to help--not merely to criticize.
