Documentation: Add info on passing log in credentials to configured SMTP server.

[kcondon]

A user installed Dataverse and wanted to use a third party email service that supports SMTP but requires log in credentials. We currently do not support this, this ticket is a request to implement it.
See RT 234442 for more information. The third party service is mailgun.org.

Update: This may be natively supported through additional properties in the Java mail client config. We'll confirm and close if that is the case.

It looks like this can be configured though admin console/ domain.xml:

Someone popped into chat today and said at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2016-04-19#i_34377 that after initial trouble using Mailgun's SMTP server they got it all working by following http://osama-zienadden.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-send-e-mail-using-glassfish.html

There was much rejoicing!

So.... can we close it? Thanks!

https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=234442 has been marked "resolved" so I vote we close it.

[djbrooke]

Closed it!

Add info on how to do this to the installation guide. Also, ideally, installer might ask whether logon is needed and update accordingly.

Put credentials info here: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/installation-main.html?highlight=smtp

Either of these links work:
http://www.hildeberto.com/2010/02/sending-e-mails-with-javamail-on-glassfish-v3.html
http://osama-zienadden.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-send-e-mail-using-glassfish.html

Have had several requests for this info, another being RT 241625

I just added this issue to the long list at #2944.

[pdurbin]

Today someone asked about this at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2016-11-29#i_45534

[pdurbin]

@bsilverstein95 as we discussed, please take a look at http://osama-zienadden.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-send-e-mail-using-glassfish.html including adding these properties:

[pdurbin]

As part of this, we should change MAIL_SERVER from mail.hmdc.harvard.edu to something less Harvard-specific such as smtp.gmail.com or whatever we can get to work. Places to change as of the v4.7 tag:

• https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.7/doc/sphinx-guides/source/_static/util/default.config#L4
• https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.7/scripts/installer/install#L75

( @michbarsinai can we delete your asadmin-setup.sh script at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.7/scripts/setup/asadmin-setup.sh ? It hasn't been updated in over three years.)

[michbarsinai]

Dunno. Do we have an alternative automated way of setting up Glassfish?

@michbarsinai yes. Please see the comment that was added to the top of your script three years ago:

# STOP!
# DO NOT ADD MORE ASADMIN COMMANDS TO THIS SCRIPT!
# IF YOU NEED TO ADD MORE GLASSFISH CONFIG SETTINGS, ADD THEM 
# TO THE ../installer/glassfish-setup.sh SCRIPT. 

😄

[michbarsinai]

Should have been deleted 3 years ago, then :-))

Just an update on this, I did manage to narrow down the necessary settings and fields for configuring Gmail SMTP on Dataverse reliably on @ferrys and my own machine(s). Google doesn't give a ton of information on the service but it's still free and still works!

Planning to document the setup process asap. 📝

[pdurbin]

@bsilverstein95 cool. At standup you said that you might not want to touch the installation script. That's fine. If so, please open a new issue to capture what I wrote about mail.hmdc.harvard.edu at #3061 (comment)

[pdurbin]

@bsilverstein95 great work! I made a small tweak at b737d63 but I'm moving this to QA.
