Description Rodrigo A B Freire 2009-06-16 12:58:00 UTC

RHQ should support user/password SMTP authentication for sending alerts.

On an modern environment, isn't typical to have an "open relay" for sending the email alerts.
Deploying an MTA on local machine exclusively for relaying the email isn't exactly an user friendly operation.

This bug was previously known as http://jira.rhq-project.org/browse/RHQ-2151

Comment 2 Heiko W. Rupp 2010-08-10 15:03:31 UTC

This needs ssl support too

Comment 3 John Mazzitelli 2010-08-10 15:04:17 UTC

this is in our mail-service.xml - it needs to be paramaterized and the user/password should be added to rhq-server.properties

<mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
       name="jboss:service=Mail">
    <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute>
    <attribute name="User">nobody</attribute>
    <attribute name="Password">password</attribute>

Comment 4 Corey Welton 2010-08-10 18:01:35 UTC

Per triage, we should be looking at SSL here too.

Lowering prio. This is still very desirable, but not urgent.

Comment 7 Heiko W. Rupp 2013-09-04 08:37:22 UTC

And btw:

a) the setup has been changed since RHQ 4.6 with the new EAP6 container
b) this is for the upstream RHQ project, which is happy to accept patches :-)
