Authentication needed on SMTP server

Hi,
We are using Sun ONE Messaging Server 5.2 and Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1sp2. We want to go for authentication on SMTP server. To elaborate on this, when the customer sends mail using our smtp, he has to be authenticated at server level before his mail passes thru the channel.
Please shed some light on how to configure this?
TIA
Regards,
Dharani

First, you do truly need to evaluate exactly what connections need authenticated smtp. If you require all connections, then you will eliminate the ability to receive mail from the internet, at large.
If what you want to do is require your internal users to authenticate, then adding
mustsasl instead of maysasl in your tcp_intranet channel configuration may help.
You should already have saslswitchchannel tcp_auth in there, by default.

How do I set up the SMTP server on Lion

Hello
I want to use my OS X Lion server to send mail only (I use Rumpus FTP - which needs a SMTP server so that it can send notification emails)
Is this possible to do with OS X Lion Server? If so - how?
Server is set up and running nicely, with DNS etc all running.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Camelot
Thank you for your reply.
Is there a way of testing for sure that SMTP is set up and running, using say telnet??
I've turned on mail and entered my server domain name, port 25 into the email settings of my Rumpus client (so that it can send notification emails - it also happens to be running on the same server, so I tried localhost and 127.0.0.1 as well but no sucess.
I have not entered authentication credentials, but turned off authentication using Server Admin.
Thanks again
Andrew

How to find out about the SMTP Server

Hi,
I have been trying to configure groupware in the portal - in particular I want to enable the sending of emails through the portal. I already have a how-to-guide that that seems to explain the steps quite well. However, it mentions that I need to know the SMTP Server of the email. Can you tell me how to find out about the SMTP Server? Where do I need to look for the name of it?
Thank you and regards,
Katharina

Hi Katharina,
you need the SMTP server of your company. This means you can't look for it in the portal, but have to ask the responsible person in your company.
Kind regards,
dominik

SMTP server list

In my email settings for my isp account there are 8 SMTP servers listed. All have the same settings and all are grayed out. I have intermittent problems getting mail and would like to whittle this list down, but there is no edit function. How do these get on the list, I have never added another server.

I've never seen any grayed out, but I do see that I can't remove the ATT one.
Others say they can't be removed because they are set as the primary for one or the other of my mail accounts.
If I go to those mail accounts, and set the ATT one primary, then I can
delete the ones I don't want.
When adding a new mail account, you can select a smtp server from one already there, instead of adding a new one each time. So if you use two Gmail accounts, you only need one smtp server (plus the ATT one).

5.3-SP12 CUP-SMTP Server-Redirection URL

Hi experts,
I've configured the SMTP server by setting the Applicattion URL : Configuration>Workflow>SMTP Server, but there is another field: Redirection URL that I have not full-filled.
Which is the functionality of setting the redirection URL at the SMTP Server?
Many thanks!

It's two different URLs:
- you will need the SMTP server (which is not a URL but a host name, i.e. "mail.yourcompany.com")
- you do not need the redirect URL if you don't do SSO

Email via an SMTP server which needs authentication

JSC bundles codes for emailing via an SMTP server which does not need authentication. But, can I get codes for emailing via an SMTP server which needs authentication?
Thank you very much.

I'd recommend the following free, open source library
from Apache. It's powerful and simple to use.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/email/
I get the following exception when I use Apache commons. This occurs in both circumstances when SMTP authentication is needed or not.

Send email from OWB with authenticated SMTP server (AUTH_LOGIN)

Hi all,
I want to send email from Oracle Warehouse Builder 11.2.0.2 using a SMTP server with basic authentication (AUTH_LOGIN).
I've created an ACL for OWBSYS user according to note ID 1229769.1 in support.oracle.com.
But, I need to configure again the ACL to connect to the SMTP server using user and password.
I read the article in metalink, *How to Send an Email Using SMTP over an SSL Connection [ID 1323140.1]*+
but I don't know how can I configure again the ACL for use in OWB.
How OWB is able to authenticate with the SMTP server?
Thanks!
Maximiliano.

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.

Given Below is the Error.. The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.
Solution:
The error might occur due to following cases.
case 1: when the password is wrong
case 2: when you try to login from some App
case 3: when you try to login from the domain other than your time zone/domain/computer (This
is the case in most of scenarios when sending mail from code)
There is a solution for each
solution for case 1: Enter the correct password.
Recomended: solution for case 2: go to
security settings at the following link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and
enable less secure apps . So that you will be able to login from all apps.
solution 1 for case 3: (This might be helpful) you need to review the activity. but reviewing the activity will not be helpful due to latest security
standards the link will not be useful. So try the below case.
solution 2 for case 3: If you have hosted your code somewhere on production server and if you have access to the production server, than take remote
desktop connection to the production server and try to login once from the browser of the production server. This will add exception for login to google and you will be allowed to login from code.
But what if you don't have access to the production server. try
the solution 3
solution 3 for case 3: You have to enable
login from other timezone / ip for your google account.
to do this follow the link https://g.co/allowaccess and
allow access by clicking the continue button.
And that's it. Here you go. Now you will be able to login from any of the computer and by any means of app to your google account.

Need to use x509 certificate for a SMTP server

Hello everybody,
if I want to send e-mail from a location different than my company builing, my company SMTP server requires authentication with my peronal x509 certificate.
I had no problem using Thunderbird, but I would like to use OS X Mail.
I installed the x509 certificate into the keyring, and in fact I can send digitally signed emails, but I was not able to find how to tell Mail to use my x509 certificate to authenticate myself to the SMTP server.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks and bye,
Lapoz.

Browsers such as iCabMobile and Atomic allow you to choose how the device identifies itself to a website. IE is one of the options. However, if the reason you need IE is for something like ActiveX, it's not going to work.

How to check whether a SMTP server is supporting Authentication or not

Hi All,
We are using Java Mail API 1.3.1/1.3.2 to send the messages. some of the SMTP servers that we use are supporting authentication and some of them are not.
As the SMTPTransport.supportsAuthentication() is not available only in Java mail API 1.4.1, we are identifying the SMTP server whether it is supporting authentication or not in the following way.
Socket clientSocket = null;
InetSocketAddress socketAddress = null;
OutputStream outStream = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
InputStreamReader inReader = null;
OutputStreamWriter outWritter = null;
try
clientSocket = new Socket();
socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
clientSocket.connect(socketAddress, timeout*1000); // convert timeout from second to miliseconds
// 1: now try to execute the given command by passing that on Out-Socket
outStream = clientSocket.getOutputStream();
outWritter = new OutputStreamWriter(outStream);
outWritter.write("ehlo localhost" +"\n");
outWritter.flush();
// 2:Read output of above command
inStream = clientSocket.getInputStream();
inReader = new InputStreamReader(inStream);
// This array limit would be fine to get "AUTH" extension of smtp server.
char[] arr = new char[16384];
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
inReader.read(arr);
for(int i=0; i< arr.length; i++)
strBuilder.append(arr);
System.out.println(METHOD_NAME + "SMTP server response for ehlo localhost command ->"+strBuilder.toString());
// The output EHLO command comes like below :
// ehlo localhost
// 250-ap9058pc.us.oracle.com Hello ap614ses.us.oracle.com [130.35.33.43], pleased to meet you
// 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
// 250-PIPELINING
// 250-8BITMIME
// 250-SIZE
// 250-DSN
// 250-ETRN
// 250-AUTH GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN
// Since for XATUH ( like internal IP),
// we are not sure, so just checking for AUTH capability.
supported = strBuilder.indexOf("250-AUTH") >=0? true : false;
As shown in above code, we are issuing 'ehlo localhost' command to SMTP server, if the response i. 'strBuilder' contains '250-AUTH' then we are assuming that it is supporting authentication.
But for one SMTP server the 'strBuilder' value is showing as '220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready at Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:57:20 +0100' only which is socket connection output but not 'ehlo localhost' command output.
where as the telnet test output is showing correct only as below
# telnet mail.durofelguera.com 25
Trying 172.20.16.65...
Connected to mail.durofelguera.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.durofelguera.com ESMTP Service (Lotus Domino Release 8.5.2) ready

yu
250-HELP
250-AUTH LOGIN
250-SIZE
250 PIPELINING
AUTH LOGIN
The question is why the 'strBuilder' is not showing 'ehlo localhost' conad output where as the telnet test results are showing correctly, what is going wrong here?
Is there any other way to check that whether SMTP server is supporting authentication or not?
Edited by: sarojak on Feb 19, 2012 10:11 PM

There are so many things wrong with your code, it's hard to know where to start...
Basically, the problem is not as simple as you think it is.
For example, some servers might not allow authentication until you've issued
the STARTTLS command.
These days, essentially all servers allow authentication. You're probably better
off just assuming the server supports.

ICloud smtp server authentication.

The IMAP server authentication works fine in Outlook 2010.
Will not accept the same password for the SMTP server.
Can anyone help?

I have the same problem.
Iam using Outlook 2007 and the icloud control panel. Everything works great also the calender and contact sync runs great, but I can't send any Mails. I heard that there might be a problem with the password. So your password must have at least one capital letter and number. My Passwort has both and also an aditional letter.
Maybe some has an answer for our problem?
