Re: V5R4 SMTP Authentication

Jeff,

First, you shouldn't need to create a self-signed Certificate for google
apps email. It does use SSL, but since you are the client all you need to
do is import the CA from the cert they use into your certificate store (if
it's not there by default).

Second, iNav sounds like it has options not on the green screen then.
Interesting! The only issue is you're still using the IBM SMTP server
which is a crapshoot. :)

It is new for V6R1.

We recently (just over a week) switched from using the i as our mail
server to Google Apps Premier. I had to open a PMR to get everything
working correctly, but it has been wonderful since then.

I had to:

CHGSMTPA MAILROUTER("smtp.gmail.com") FIREWALL(*YES) ALWAUTH(*NONE)
FWDHUBSVR("smtp.gmail.com")

Set up a self-signed security certificate.

ADDSMTPLE TYPE(ACCEPT) INTNETADR('192.168.0.0') SUBNETMASK('255.255.0.0')

We use ESEND from Help Systems as well as the Advanced Job Scheduler
("AJS"). AJS emails stuff under user profile "jsuser", so I set up
jsuser as a user in Google Apps. In iNav I was able to tell it to
authenticate as [3]jsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Had to pay for an additional
user in Google Apps, but what I did was to let my
Windows/networking/support consultant use it as well. He can then do
support work while I'm on vacation. (Serendipitously, his initials
are "js".)

We have just changed email service providers, so all outbound email must
provide a userid and pwd for the senders email account. I have not seen
that i5/OS supports this natively at V5R4******Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
