Crowd cannot communicate with mail server

dpliatsios

Hello all,

I have installed Crowd in my local server and I cannot configure it to use a GMail account.

I have set the following settings:

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

SMTP Port: 465

Username: t***ar@gmail.com

Password: ********

and enabled the Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

However, if I try to send a test email I get the following error:

Test failed

There was a problem communicating with the mail server.

DEBUG: setDebug: JavaMail version 1.4.7
DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtps,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSSLTransport,Oracle]
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true
DEBUG SMTP: trying to connect to host "smtp.gmail.com", port 465, isSSL true

I have used the same settings in Confluence and everything works as expected.

Thank you for your time

Hi, welcome to the Community!

It looks like you have to import an SSL certificate and configure a JNDI resource before you can use Gmail for an SMTP server with Crowd. This article has all the necessary steps Using Gmail as a Crowd Mail Server.

I look forward to hearing how it goes.
