Using Gmail as JIRA mail server error

Rumceisz

Hi Jobin,

yes I am behind a firewall but it can be done. ()

I summarize what I did - maybe it has to extend with sg.

1. I moved the 'activation' and 'mail' JAR files from the from the <jira-application-dir>/WEB-INF/lib/ to C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA\lib

maybe it can be wrong but based on the documentation I couldn't identify which is actually the Jira installation dir.

2. I added Gmail as a JNDI resource within the within the <Context/> elements of the /conf/server.xml file.

3. I set 2 things in the setenv.bat file:

* I put this line: set JVM_PROXY=-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.xxx.xxx.xxx.de -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="127.0.0.1|*.xxx.xx"

* And I added to JAVA_OPTS this: %JVM_PROXY%

I didn't do this OPENSSL step because I didn't understand at all.

I attach a picture of the settings in the Outgoing Mail section and my setenv.bat file. Can you please check whether I pasted the proxy settings in a wrong place in the setenv.

Thanks in advance!

Exactly, 465 is for SSL whereas 587 is TLS

Are you sure all the parameters are right? If so, is it blocked in firewall?

Rumceisz

Here are the excerpts from my setenv.bat file:

IF "x%JIRA_HOME%x" == "xx" GOTO NOJIRAHOME2
echo Using JIRA_HOME: %JIRA_HOME%
:NOJIRAHOME2

set JVM_PROXY=-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="127.0.0.1|*.xxx.xx"

and:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms%JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY% -Xmx%JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY% %JVM_REQUIRED_ARGS% %DISABLE_NOTIFICATIONS% %JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS% %JVM_EXTRA_ARGS% %JIRA_HOME_MINUSD%JVM_PROXY%

Have you tried SMTP settings instead of JNDI?

Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]

You don't need to open it. Make sure the TLS option is checked. Can you post a screenshot?

With TLS set, try port 587 instead of port 465 or uncheck TLS if you do not need it and then use port 465.

Hi GCM and Norman,

do you mean it will work inside of firewall with SMTP Port: 587?

Norman Abramovitz

What we are saying you need to specify the correct combination of parameters to get email to work. In the image below where you had TLS checked, you need to use port 587.

Yes, gmail communication behind a firewall is possible. but you need to

1) configure Jira for email access correctly.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Using+Gmail+as+a+JIRA+Mail+Server

2) Use the correct set of parameters for your email service

(See the comments on the above url about certificates and the url below

http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78775

3) Configure your firewall(s) to allow email communications.

See your network administrator or see the person who configures your firewall(s) or call your firewall vendor to get some help on configuration.

Rumceisz, If I misspoke for you, I apologize.

See here https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Configuring+your+Mail+Server

If you have something like this

<Resource name="mail/YahooSmtpServer"

auth="Container"

type="javax.mail.Session"

mail.smtp.host="smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com"

mail.smtp.port="587"

mail.smtp.auth="true"

mail.smtp.user="xxx"

password="xxx"

mail.debug="true"

/>

In your server.xml, quoting:

You will also need to ensure that the JavaMail classes and Java Beans Activation Framework are present in your application server's classpath.

This is, to copy activation-1.0.2.jar and mail-1.4.1.jar from tomcat/confluence/WEB-INF/lib to tomcat/lib/
