[SOLVED] Using attribute for Email Account Login Credentials

Jaymer

Consider a StaffMembers BO, with an Email address and Email password field.
This will contain the user's GMAIL addy & pw.
--> jaymerjaymer2@gmail.com
--> xyzzy

If the StaffMember emails Contacts, which is set as Intelligent Object, then in that setup screen, I'm having trouble referencing the LISM (LoggedInStaffMember) fields.

Hardcoded username & password: WORKS! But then all email sent appears to come from that same account.

variable username & hardcoded password (to eliminate pw as issue, since you can't see it): FAILS - Gmail Bad Credentials

What am I missing here?
You want the email to be sent from that user's actual GMail account - so it has to be dynamic, but there's no way to see what values are being submitted, via Output windows or Logging, so I can't really tell what is wrong. Just Output Window msg saying Bad Credentials.

Stuck in that 1 hour+ Aware cycle of try something, run it, change it, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
any ideas?
thx

Try making this setting in the Notification setup (this is v7.1, the same should apply)

No, the issue is not the from address.
The issue is the username and password to login to the email server.

Thanks
I read it but am in bed. Cannot download.
I understand “USING Users.emailaddress” for the smtp account.
But where does it get the password to login?

from earlier post:

Hi there,

I have requested the Reply-To field to respect the RFC standards in sending emails corectlly.

Above is a sample BSV which uses the Reply-to and the "USING" statment in processes.

The idea is:

If you have non-techincal users your app can be defined as sending emails with

<From>:<<SystemSettings.OutgoingEmailAddress>>
Reply-to:><<LoggedInUser.EmailAddress>>

If your users wants to use their SMTP server you can use:
<From:><<LoggedInUser.EmailAddress>>
In BSV -> right click on "Business Objects" tree menu-> "Add Outgoing Email Account Object" (see my sample above)
In process you will have to use : "SEND My_Notification TO UsersBO USING UsersBO.EmailAccount

If you need deeper help, please let me know, I'll be gladly help you...

bye,

Jaymer

Yes
I read this
But each user must record his unique password
Where?
USING will set that address to login to smtp server.
One user may use google. Another yahoo.
But let’s assume they all use the same.
How does Aware know how to use their password to login to their email account?
Just the address is not enough.

Steps to reproduce/test:

Sleep well
In morning, get off bed
Turn on your pc
test my bsv

George, yes, that worked great.
Took a few extra mins to figure out, but does the job.
I will write this up formally for a tutorial soon.
