Email server needs authentication

I want to send an email from a Creator project, but my email server requires authentication. The sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient does not seem to provide an API for that.
Can anyone supply a solution?

It has the bells and whistles that allow you to provide authentication. Search/google the web for
"Javamail authentication" and look for examples.
It's not as simple to use as SmtpClient, but has the
flexibility to do many things.

Email server LDAP authentication

I have a Sun One Directory Server 5.2 and want to set up the sun mail server. I understand that the install lets you set it up with a directory server. But I want to know exactly how the mail server is using the ldap for authentication. Is there differences between OS's? Is it using a pam module on solaris? Is it application based or host based authentication? Thanks!

Messaging Server uses a Directory Server very exstensively, not the PAM model at all. It's NOT host-based authentication.
For additional information, you may want to examine some of the 5.2 documentation, including the Schema Guide and the Provisioning Guide:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-6021-10

How to make my URLConnection through proxy(need authentication)

Hi...
we are writing a net program behind the firewall,and the proxy server need authentication(you have to input your id,pswd and the domain where you are), so, our URLConnection cant reach the outside of the firewall.
Is there any solution???

For HTTP:
Check for example http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=360245

TLS enabling on Email Server

Hi
We are planning to use TLS at the email server for authentication. We are using Oracle B2B 10g and in that using 'Custom document over generic exchange' protocol. Is there any other additional setting to be done in B2B for this set up? The TLS is mainly between the mail server of host the TP. A quiick response is required so that we can make a decision.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kavitha

Kavitha,
Don't think any additional configuration may be required except enabling SSL at your B2B server and configuring wallets.

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.

Ios7.1.2 email server authentication error

We have a problem sending email using iMail client on a) iPad (ios7.1.2(11D257) and b) iMac (Auto updating Mavericks OS10). However, we can send email from iPad (ios7.1.1 (11D201). All three devices can receive email.
All machines use the same email account and servers. All are using the same email client. All have been working effectively for past 4 years - the problem started about 1 month ago.
Have spent "hours" with email service provider to troubleshoot the problem. Here is a list of the steps we have taken:
1) checked email servers, confirming that email accounts can both send and receive email. This included testing via a webmail client, and from a Microsoft Outlook client. In both cases the tests confirmed that email can be received AND sent via the email server.
2) setup alternate email servers, on different ports, on iPad - can always receive email but cannot send. The error message that is received is "username or password for 'mail.iinet.net.au' is incorrect"
3) deleted email accounts and rest device to wipe it clean, then started from scratch - can establish the email account, can receive email, but still get the same error message when trying to send email "username of password for 'mail.iinet.net.au' is incorrect"
4) tried alternative email client (CloudMagic, Evomail, Canonball) - not possible to connect to the email account, typical error is "unable to verify your account information"
5) tried to setup account on iPhone across mobile phone network to isolate whether problem was local WiFi - same result
The only thing that has shone any light on this was when we identified the outgoing mail server as "mailout.comhem,se" with no authentication. With this setting email would send. This could suggest a problem with the WiFi network, but it has been working perfectly well up till now, and on other WiFi networks. It also does not explain the problem with iMac from home which is directly connected to an ADSL service provided by our email service provider (no intermediary in play at all). This also means that for every new WiFi network that I use (I travel a lot) I will need to find the details of an intermediate outgoing mail server for the specific WiFi provider. It is not clear why routing through an intermediary email server overcomes the authentication error at the destination email server, unless there is some more fundamental problem at play.
The authentication error has been isolated to somewhere between the device and the server - could there be some ios7.1.2 issue at play that is causing the authentication to fail, but not when directed through an intermediary mail server?
This problem is deeply frustrating, and any help would be greatly appreciated

I haven't ran across this, but I do see that there is no SQL Instance Name in your screenshot. Try putting SQLTMS in there and then click next and see what happens. Or if you know the name of your TMS database instance, put that in there.

Do I need a email server? Please help

Hi,
currently my school project needs to create a email system that send reminder and notice to users. However, we are unable to tap the school email server, I am using my own pop3 account (my ISP). I dun think it is a good way. Do i need an email server to make the system more appropiate? If yes, any email server to recommend?? Please guide..thanks

you don't need an email server to send mail. Just write a small "main" class that opens a socket to whatever domain you're sending to (ex: hotmail.com) on port 25. Then just use all the SMTP commands:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt
Basically, you'll have a conversation with their server, something like this:
//FOR READING WHAT THE SERVER SAYS
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
//SO YOU CAN RESPOND
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(sock.getOutputStream() );
//STORE THEIR RESPONSES
String strResponse;
//SEND IT CONNECTION OK, YOU REACHED...
out.println("220 mail.myserver.com SMTP Server (Billy Bob's Personal Server v5.0) ready");
out.flush();
strResponse = in.readLine();
if (strResponse.equals("EHLO") || strResponse.equals("HELO"))
out.println("250 mail.myserver.com");
out.flush();
etc...Now, it won't actually be "EHLO" or "HELO", it'll probably be that plus their name or something. So maybe: "EHLO mail.yahoo.com". Anyways, don't worry about all that. You can get that info at the link I put above. it'll do the assignment, and be more fun!

I need to forward some photos and I keep getting this message " the email server didn't recognize your user name or password.

In trying to forward some photos, I keep getting the message:
The email server didn't recognize your user name
and password.

First go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Close iPhoto, reopen and add your email account to the Accounts preference pane and try again.
Next, and IMO the better solution, set Mail are the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane:
This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy and, if you need a layout like iPhoto gives you, similar layouts in iPhoto's stationary option.

Email Server Problems

I've been using Outlook Express as my preferred Email Portal for 25+ years without any connectivity problems, even when I was using dial-in. I've been with BT as my ISP since returning to the UK in 2001 and over the last 18 moths have been experiencing numerous unfathomable error messages when connecting. "Password not recognised," "Server timed-out due to inactivity," (when first logging in) and being forced to use my sub-accounts to send and receive messages.
This is an annoingly intermittent problem with not set pattern of failures. Numerous calls to the Help Line have been useless, as they have looked around and seen no problems with my Server settings (POP3) A recent call to the Tech Help line (that I reluctantly paid for) saw the lady I spoke to, take control and change my POP3 In-Out settings and all has been fixed (it seems)
I have a new Windows 8.1 PC (still in the annoying set-up process) onto which I have installed MS Office Professional Plus 2010, and the Outlook settings showed as my old POP3 configuration. I changed it to the new ones the Tech Desk set up but I still cannot get on it to send/receive as I get an Error/Warning that says the IMAP Server has disconnected. The Outlook Account Settings do not have IMAP in the Pull-Down menu to choose as an option for connecting.
I used to be up-to-date with IT matters, but now I'm dreadfully confused.

Outlook can be set up as either a POP account or an IMAP account. You can not change a POP account to IMAP account on the fly. Yoy will need to either delete the POP account and start again or setup an IMAP account to run in tandem with the POP one. Once up and running you could then delete the POP account.
You are best to set it up manually by ticking the "manually configure server settings" and enter all the settings rather than using the set up "wizard"
The settings you need to use are:
Your Name
Email address: Full btinternet email address
Account type: IMAP or (POP)
Incoming server: mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing server: mail.btinternet.com
Logon information:
User name: prefix only of email address
Password: Email password
Tick remember password
Do not tick Require password auth (SPA)
Click Button More settings
Tick box my out going server requires authentication
Tick box use same as incoming
Do not tick log onto incoming server
Advanced Button
Incoming server 993 or (POP 995) Tick requires SSL
Outgoing server 465 Use following type encryption SSL

Server requires authentication - How do I program for this?

Hello,
I'm testing out a webpage I have created that will be used to send email. I have DSL service...just recently subscribed. Previously I had Dial up. The server at that time didn't require authentication, but now that I have DSL it does. I'm a bit lost as to how to update my program (I've included the snippet in the post), so that it will run correctly. I am having some difficulty.
My program looked like this :
String POP3 = "pop.windstream.net";
String SMTP = "smtp.windstream.net";
// Specify the SMTP host
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(POP3, SMTP);
// Create a mail session
Session ssn = Session.getInstance(props, null);
ssn.setDebug(true);
//...html to make up the body of the message
// set the from information
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(emailaddress, fromName);
// Set the to information
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(EmailAddress2, toName);
// Create the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(ssn);
msg.setFrom(from);
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
msg.setSubject(emailsubject);
msg.setContent(body, "text/html");
Transport.send(msg);
//....                        I did some research already, and have looked at some other forum posts. The one thing I have noted when I run my program is that the dos prompt for tomcat is showing this:
*DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smpt,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Sun Microsystem, Inc]*
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth false
DEBUG: SMTPTransport trying to connect to hose "localhost", port 25
My ISP provider, Windstream, assures me that port 25 is NOT blocked. Also, I've noticed that useAuth is set to false, whereas the posts I have been looking at say true. It would make sense to me for it to be set to true in my case, since my server requires authentication. But how do I do that?
I found this bit of information from another person's post :
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
you also need an Authenticator like this
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
private PasswordAuthentication pwdAuth = new PasswordAuthentication("myaccount", "mypassword");
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
pwdAuth;
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);*
Post located at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=43&threadID=537461
From the FAQ section of JavaMail
Q: When I try to send a message I get an error like SMTPSendFailedException: 530, Address requires authentication.
A: You need to authenticate to your SMTP server. The package javadocs for the com.sun.mail.smtp package describe several methods to do this. The easiest is often to replace the call Transport.send(msg); with
String protocol = "smtp";
props.put("mail." + protocol + ".auth", "true");
Transport t = session.getTransport(protocol);
try {
t.connect(username, password);
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
} finally {
t.close();
You'll have to supply the appropriate username and password needed by your mail server. Note that you can change the protocol to "smtps" to make a secure connection over SSL.
One thing I have noticed in the majority of the posts is that useAuth in the tomcat dos prompt should be set to true, and not false. Mine is coming up as false. Also, I think it should be set to true because the ISP's server requires authentication for sending and receiving email.
Can you please provide me with some input on how to update my program so it will run?
Thank you in advance:)

Thank you for replying.
Per your advice, I made these changes to my code:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.pop3.host", POP3);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP);
Session ssn = Session.getInstance(props, null); The props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth","true"); is something I found previously to posting my question. I'm assuming this is the line of code that has changed useAuth from false to true...is that correct?
I'm most pleased to report that with the changes made above, my program works! But is my code good? As soon as I start taking on clients, I will need my code to be reliable, and it needs to work with Dial Up and DSL connections.
With regards to your question about how I had found the authentication code but hadn't used it. Well, I did try it, again, this was previous to posting my question, and the compiler couldn't compile the program because of this statement - pwdAuth;
I also tried this code I had found in the JavaMail FAQ section -
String protocol = "smtp";
props.put("mail." + protocol + ".auth", "true");
Transport t = session.getTransport(protocol);
try {
t.connect(username, password);
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
} finally {
t.close();
}But according to the compiler, t.connect(username,password); was not an available method. I checked the documentation and found that to be true. Do you have any suggestions? Looking into the documentation I find that there are 3 methods called connect that are inherited by the Transport class from javax.mail.Service.
connect()
connect(java.lang.String host, int port, java.lang.String user, java.lang.String password)
connect(java.lang.String host, java.lang.String user, java.lang.String password)
I would opt to try the third connect method, but what would I put for host?
Thank you for helping me with this issue, I'm not an expert on using the JavaMail package, at least not yet, and I appreciate the help you have provided.

Email server failure

When I use the credentials for verizon.net, the Verizon email server fails to authenticate. This is true whether accessing the mail server through Outlook or the Service support page. Does anyone have a clue about what would cause credentials that work to sign onto verizon.net and access email would fail when presented through Outlook or the service support email test page.
In outlook, I have tried to present the userID as both [email protected] and username . The service support page only supports [email protected]

--The account name should only be username, no need to type [email protected]
--Outgoing server requires authentication.
