Data Protector 24.1 - Secure SMTP configuration

Hello,

We use DP24.1 on a Windows Server 2022 and we need to send reports using the Email(SMTP) method but our SMTP server requires authentication. We don't have Exchange server, just a normal SMTP server.

I tried the method described in https://docs.microfocus.com/doc/Data_Protector/24.1/TraditionalReports#Configure_Secure_SMTP  and also disabled the SSL certificate verification using the specified parameter in omnirc file.

But...

C:\Users\administrator.***>omnirpt -smtp_config -add -server_name ******  -user_name ******  -email_id ******  -server_port 25
Enter the Password:
Confirm the Password:
Secure SMTP configuration added successfully.


C:\Users\administrator.***>omnirpt -smtp_config -test
Secure SMTP connection failed.

How can I use simple SMTP server with authentication? Where/how can I find any log in DP side that shows what is the problem with SMTP test?

    Hello,

    I have seen a similar problem in other versions there is fix but from a previous version, open a case to see if your problem can be fixed with a fix or if we already have the fix for your version.

    Hi Despoina, 

    A doubt from your screenshot, I supposed that you have used your own values , isn't it ? I'm asking it because the values which I can see in your last screenshot are the same of my example. Only to confirm. ;-) 

    C:\Program Files\OmniBack\bin>omnirpt.exe -smtp_config -add -server_name <iyour_own_servername> -server_port 587 -user_name <username> -email_id <username_mailaddress> -passwd <userpassword>

    Another thing to check is if the port 587 is opened in your server ? you can test it doing from Cell Server a : telnet <mailservername> 587

    If you have used your own values and the problem still there, better to proceed as has said Eblyn, to open a case with Support and provide the steps followed by you , error and debug logs obtained running the command as follow:

    omnirpt -smtp_config -test -debug 1-500 SMTP_test_01.txt

    This command will create some files named : OB2**SMTP_test_01.txt ( debug files )

    Hi Toni,

    Yes my screenshot was a bit confusing, I used my own values and the connection fails. Port 587 is not open, because our SMTP server uses port 25.

    I've already opened a case with Support so I'm waiting now. 

    Thanks for the command for the debug logs, I'll use it and see what is happening.
