5.5.1 Considering user authentication for sending emails
Consider the authentication method to be used when sending emails. JP1/Service Support supports the following user authentication methods that can be used when sending emails:
-
POP before SMTP
-
SMTP Authentication (PLAIN and LOGIN)
-
No user authentication
If an attempt to send an email fails, a message indicating the failure appears in the window. In addition, a message indicating the cause of the failure is output to a log file. Therefore, check the log file if you need to determine the cause.
Specify the user ID and password for user authentication in the email definition file by executing the jssauthusersetup (authentication user setup) command.
You must specify the settings for user authentication for sending email in the email definition file in advance. By default, authentication is disabled. Consider the authentication method to be used with regard to your system operations, and change the settings in the email definition file as needed.
For details about the email definition file, see Email definition file (jp1imss_mail_setting.conf) in Chapter 13. Definition Files. For details about the jssauthusersetup command, see jssauthusersetup (authentication-user setting) in Chapter 12. Commands.
