I'm evaluating JIRA Service Desk and I cannot get my exchange server connected in as the incoming mail source. When I enter the information for my server and test it I get the error: "AuthenticationFailedException: AUTHENTICATE failed."
I searched the knowledge base and found this article: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Authenticate+Failed+Error+when+Connecting+to+Exchange
I then added -Dmail.imap.auth.plain.disable=true and -Dmail.imaps.auth.plain.disable=true to the setenv.sh file in the JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS section. Then restarted the JIRA service. This did not work, same error message.
I turned on email debugging by adding the -Dmail.debug into the same section and file referenced above. (The setenv.sh file I'm working on is located in /opt/atlassian/jira/bin by the way). Then I tried to test again and got the same error message.
After combing through the logs I pulled this line out:
http-bio-8080-exec-11 ERROR <username> 911x91x1 1u33boo <my ip address> /secure/admin/VerifyPopServerConnection!update.jspa [plugins.mail.webwork.VerifyMailServer] Unable to connect to the server at <email server name> due to the following exception: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: AUTHENTICATE failed.
I'm combing through the knowledge base and forums and cannot find anything relevant. My JIRA server is linux, my exchange is 2007 and I'm trying to connect via IMAP.
I've tried different user names, that doesn't change the error. I've tried referencing the email server by ip address and by DNS name, that doesn't change the error. My server can ping the email server. The username I'm using has full admin rights on the mail server.
Any help is appreciated as I'd really like to try this software out.
