Re: [Dspace-tech] SMTP Authentication failed

2013-05-26 Thread Alan Orth 

Bram,

Sorry, I meant to say that Maven filtering broke our setup with regards 
to SMTP only.  I migrated our configs to *.properties based on the 
default build.properties and we've had no other problems. :)

Glad to hear that.

I'm actually on the fence with this one - in a certain aspect it is a
fix, but it changes the past behaviour, which also brings potential to
break a corner case. There is still the possibility that sending empty
username and password serves a purpose, I just don't know about it.

Since DSpace 3 the release numbering actually changed and 3.2 would be
the next bugfix release and 4.0 will be the next major release.

Hey, helix.

I just had a go at solving this... :)

https://gist.github.com/alanorth/5652740

This works, both for `dspace test-email` as well as "Forgot password" 
functions.

I will comment on the Jira bug.  I'm not sure how DSpace releases go, 
but is this type of fix a candidate for 3.1.x or 3.2?

Yes, I've verified again that commenting out the mail.server.username 
and mail.server.password in dspace.cfg and then restarting Tomcat fixes 
it.  For some reason reloading the context via Tomcat admin didn't work...

For now I'll have to remember to comment that line out after deployment, 
or look into using authenticated SMTP.

Helix,

Correct; if I comment out the mail.server.username and 
mail.server.password in the generated / "final" dspace.cfg sending email 
works.  Also, I was mistaken before regarding `dspace test-email`, it 
behaves the same way as the emails from the "Forgot Password" etc; I had

This is probably a corner case for people using un-authenticated SMTP I 
guess... Ironically, I've been yelling at our ISP to enable

OK, here's how I understood it: if you comment out
mail.server.username and mail.server.password, it works, but if you
leave them empty, it doesn't work (presumably because it sends empty
values).

I guess the the only solution we can provide in DSpace is not to send
username and password if they're both empty.


The relevant code is here:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.1/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/core/Email.java#L265

It seems to me the code should behave the same (username == null)
regardless of whether mail.server.username is commented out or has an
empty value. But I would need to verify this.

Re: [Dspace-tech] SMTP Authentication failed

2013-05-23 Thread Alan Orth 

Ok,

I've done some more tests...

When I specify my mail settings in a custom config -- 
[dspace-src]/dspace/config/production.cfg -- and then install with `ant 
update -Dconfig=../../config/production.cfg`, sending mail via DSpace 
works fine.  The [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg generated by the build/ant 
process has these SMTP settings:


   # SMTP mail server
   mail.server = my.smtp.com

   # SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
   # mail.server.username =
   # mail.server.password =

   # SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
   # mail.server.port =

When I use a stock DSpace config -- 
[dspace-src]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg -- with a custom build.properties 
-- [dspace-src]/production.properties -- and then build with 
-Denv=production and install with `ant update`, sending mail via DSpace 
errors with javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException.  The 
[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg generated by the build/ant process has these 
SMTP settings:


   # SMTP mail server
   mail.server = smtp.serv.cgnet.com

   # SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
   mail.server.username =
   mail.server.password =

   # SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
   mail.server.port = 25

If I comment out the mail.* settings in my production.properties file I 
get an error about circular definitions:


   BUILD FAILED
   /home/aorth/src/git/DSpace/dspace/target/dspace-3.1-build/build.xml:88:
   Property mail.server.password was circularly defined.

I think the build.properties way of doing things is a step forward, as 
it allows for management of multiple DSpace instances from one code 
base, but it's a bit confusing!  Also, we're using unauthenticated SMTP, 
so these username/password settings are really not useful to us.


Thanks,

Alan

OK, in this case that didn't tell me anything new.



My mail.* properties from dspace.cfg:

Looks good.



 mail.allowed.referrers = cgspace.cgiar.org

I have localhost here, so try this:
mail.allowed.referrers = localhost, cgspace.cgiar.org

But I don't think this is the issue (the error would be different).



We did switch to using build.properties (one for
dev and production) with a common dspace.cfg, though... I will try to
use our old config file maybe...

This sounds like a likely culprit to me. Make sure you didn't comment
out any properties present in the default build.properties. You have
to leave the value empty instead of commenting it out.

Ok,

I've just reverted to our "all in one" dspace.cfg and emails work fine.  
Sounds like there are some issues with my build.properties 
(dev.properties and production.properties)...

Hey, Helix.

Here's the full stack trace, including the "Caused by": 
https://gist.github.com/alanorth/4e942aa252764a3d87aa/raw/2c4a9ad30f537386cc3bb1c9a885204e949038e2/gistfile1.txt

My mail.* properties from dspace.cfg:

# SMTP mail server
mail.server = smtp.serv.cgnet.com
# SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
mail.server.username =
mail.server.password =
# SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
mail.server.port = 25
mail.from.address = cgspace-supp...@cgiar.org
mail.admin = a.o...@cgiar.org
# Recipient for new user registration emails
# Set the default mail character set. This may be overridden by
providing a line
# inside the email template "charset: ", otherwise this
default is used.
mail.charset = UTF-8
# A comma-separated list of hostnames that are allowed to refer
browsers to email forms.
mail.allowed.referrers = cgspace.cgiar.org
# Pass extra settings to the Java mail library. Comma-separated,
equals sign between
#mail.extraproperties = mail.smtp.socketFactory.port=465, \
# mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory, \
#   mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false
# An option is added to disable the mailserver. By default, this
property is set to false
# By setting mail.server.disabled = true, DSpace will not send out
emails.
# It will instead log the subject of the email which should have
been sent
#mail.server.disabled = false
# By default RSS feeds, OAI-PMH and subscription emails will include
ALL items
# For backwards compatibility, the subscription emails by default
include any modified items
# uncomment the following entry for only new items to be emailed
# since that usually contains email addresses which ought to be kept

If I recall correctly we upgraded from DSpace 1.8 -> 3.1 in March, but 
one user reported that emails were working last month (April).  On the 
server side, I can't think of anything (it's Debian 6.0, so not much new 
packages these days).  We did switch to using build.properties (one for 
dev and production) with a common dspace.cfg, though... I will try to 
use our old config file maybe...

Cheers,

Alan

2013-05-21 Thread helix84 
Isn't there a "Caused by" line just after the snippet you sent?

I'm baffled why sending email from DSpace wouldn't work when using
test-email works - both use the same send() method of the
org.dspace.core.Email class. The only difference is that one is
launched from command line, the other one from Tomcat.

Can you think of any changes you made between when the email last
worked and now?

Also attach your mail.* properties from dspace.cfg. We're looking for
an inconspicuous problem here.

[Dspace-tech] SMTP Authentication failed

2013-05-21 Thread Alan Orth 
All,

I'm getting a javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException[0] when trying to 
send emails from DSpace, such as the "Forgot Password" function.  Other 
things like workflow alerts simply fail silently (users don't receive 
alerts).  I've tested the following:

1. SMTP server is working (send mail manually via port 25, HELO, etc)
2. `dspace test-email` is working.

We are using unauthenticated SMTP mail and our dspace.cfg configuration 
has not changed.  We're running DSpace 3.1 on Linux with Tomcat 6.

Thanks!
