Redmine

SSL? Is redmine email suport SSL? How to?

help.... help

That's what I'm wondering.
Is there a more active Redmine community somewhere else?

So I followed up with this:
http://douglasfshearer.com/blog/gmail-smtp-with-ruby-on-rails-and-actionmailer

Installed the plugin via:
./script/plugin install http://svn.douglasfshearer.com/rails/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls

Plopped the following into environment.rb (after the Rails::Initializer.run do |config| block):
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,
:address => "mailserver_address",
:port => "25",
:domain => "YOURDOMAIN",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "username",
:password => "password"
}

Didn't work.
Error:

Followed a different suggestion by editing environment.rb with this:
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
(instead of ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {)

No go.

So I've negated the errors, redmine's running again but whenever I try and send a test email (administration - settings - email notifications - test email) I receive the following error:

An error occurred while sending mail (wrong number of arguments (7 for 6))

Any ideas?

- Brennan

Found the solution:

Error:
wrong number of arguments (7 for 6)

Solution:
As I found out, both the ar_mailer and action_mailer_optional_tls have smtp_tls.rb and they are different. So ar_mailer includes it’s own tls file which doesn’t work. Solution was to copy vendor/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls/lib/smtp_tls.rb over to gems/ar_mailer-1.3.1/lib/smtp_tls.rb. Might have to "read between the lines" and if you don't have "ar_mailer" run updatedb and see where else smtp_tls.rb could be.

So simply:
sudo cp /redmine_path/vendor/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls/lib/smtp_tls.rb /redmine_path/lib/smtp_tls.rb

Error:
wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

Solution:
Edit:
/opt/redmine/lib/smtp_tls.rb
/opt/redmine/vendor/plugins/action_mailer_optional_tls/lib/smtp_tls.rb
Change line 33 from:
check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret
To:
check_auth_args user, secret if user or secret
And add this afterwards (next line) for safe measure:
check_auth_method authtype

I hope this helps anyone else encountering this issue.

Hi Brennan,
Thanks a lot, your post was really helpful.

I had this issue since last week and only now it could be solved.

Thanks again,
nah

I agree with the previous reply, I had this issue since yesterday and Brennan's post gave me a solution that worked. =)

Thanks, Brennan!

Hello,
I'm in trouble,
I have followed your post but still cannot manage to reach my goal (just one thing: i don't find this path "gems/ar_mailer-1.3.1/lib/" in my redmine app).
I try to use the Hotmail SMTP with this config :

in environment.rb :

...
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
 config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :tls => true,
  :address => "smtp.live.com",
  :port => "587",
  :domain => "mail.live.com",
  :authentication => :plain,
  :user_name => "MY_EMAIL",
  :password => "MY_PASSWORD" 
 }
 config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
 config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
 ...

An error occurred while sending mail (Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n'a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d'une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l'hôte de connexion n'a pas répondu. - connect(2))

I need your help...

Regards.

Hi,

I hope I can help you a little.

In your Redmine directory you can locate your logs, usually, you can read all them in production.log.
For instance, my log is located at:

/var/redmine/log

Also, when I configured my Redmine I haven't looked for the path "gems/ar_mailer-1.3.1/lib/". The only thing I've done was:

• download smtp_tls.rb (from some site someone had put in this page, look above)
• send smtp_tls.rb to lib/ (lib/ directory is located at you /redmine/ directory)
• edit it with Brennan's solution:

Change line 33 from:
check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret
To:
check_auth_args user, secret if user or secret
And add this afterwards (next line) for safe measure:
check_auth_method authtype

Thanks i'll try to reinstall everything and just adding the file (not using the ruby install plugin) cause my server is completely down and i cannot go back.
So we have to :

1- install bitnami redmine for windows configuring our smtp mail server

2- just add the file smtp_tls.rb in the directory : apps/redmine/lib/. (DO NOT FOLLOW THE EXPLANATION WE FOUND THERE http://douglasfshearer.com/blog/gmail-smtp-with-ruby-on-rails-and-actionmailer CAUSE IT BREAKS THE SERVER)
  then Go to line 33 of lib/smtp_tls.rb and change
    "check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret" 
  to
    "check_auth_args user, secret if user or secret" 

3- change the file apps/redmine/config/environment.rb adding these lines at the end :

  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    :tls => true,
    :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
    :port => "587",
    :domain => "YOURDOMAIN",
    :authentication => :plain,
    :user_name => "GOOGLEUSERNAME",
    :password => "GOOGLEPASSWORD" 
  }

Finally it's not so easy to send emails using hotmail or gmail smtp server... i hope this solution will work. it's gonna be 3 days i fail.

Ah, by the way, there is a file called email.yml it is located at /redmine/config/. As far as I know, it is the file which you should configure your email server, not in environment.rb - but I really don't know how it works with Windows, I'm in linux.

I'm using Gmail to send emails too, it works pretty well!

Look my config:

# File: config/email.yml
production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    tls: true
    address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
    port: 587
    domain: "DOMAIN" 
    authentication: :plain
    user_name: "USER@DOMAIN" 
    password: "PASSWD" 

development:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    tls: true
    address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
    port: '587'
    domain: "DOMAIN" 
    authentication: :plain
    user_name: "USER@DOMAIN" 
    password: "PASSWD" 

My smtp is using the SSL.And push something by my step ( and it's working well ^_)

1. Install the Plugin : action_mailer_optional_tls.

2. Copy the smtp_tls.rb to redmine/lib path.

3. Change the line below "def do_ssl_start" of smtp_tls.rb:
change :
check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret
to:
check_auth_args user, secret if user or secret

4. Modify the email.yml
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
tls: false
ssl: true
address: "smtp.xxx.com"
port: 465
domain: "xxx.com"
authentication: :login
user_name: "username"
password: "password"

NOTE:

1. The version of action_mailer_optional_tls : no mind what it is , but download at 2010-09-07
2. Windows XP / Ruby 1.8.7 / Redmine 1.0.1

Thank you so much for the timely help. Using this we solved the errors of email notifications in Redmine

I tried replacing

check_auth_args user, secret, authtype if user or secret

with:

check_auth_args user, secret if user or secret
check_auth_method authtype

and then tried the "Send a test email" link from the redmine->settings->notification but got following error:

An error occurred while sending mail (wrong number of arguments (8 for 6))

I then removed:

check_auth_method authtype

and tried again and found that the mail was sent successfully. ;) Thanks Brennan.

I tried everything above and mentioned here: http://www.redmine.org/issues/1598
But it's still not working. Error: (535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure ) while the credentials are correct 100% sure!
