User Credentials for Authentication
Parameter set hosts is used to manage user credentials for SMTP
authentication. Credentials are stored as follows:
<servername>:smtp:username <username>
<servername>:smtp:password <password>
For more information, see section Parameter Set hosts on page 219 .
If using authentication mode PLAIN, an additional credential
Authorization identity, may be required. By default, this is the same
as username, and no separate setting is necessary. If needed,
authorization identity is created in the configuration dialog by clicking
the Add button and entering the following attributes for the parameter:
- Name: authid
- Data type: text
- Value: authorization identity
where
<servername>
= Name of the server
<username> = Assigned username
<password> = Assigned password
NOTE Even if these authentication modes use encoding for sending the user
credentials, this encoding can be easily translated to plain text. No
encrypting for the mail transaction is provided by QML201.
NOTE Any station-specific settings to the authentication selection or user
credentials become effective only after logger restart.
