SMTP Client security provider in Jitterbit App Builder

Introduction

Since App Builder 4.57, there is a dedicated SMTP Client security provider that simplifies how you manage email authentication.

It supports anonymous or basic (password) authentication types, and you can toggle the IgnoreTlsErrors property.

Configuration

The following can be configured when setting up or editing an SMTP Client security provider.

Authentication

  • Basic: Basic authentication is treated as a service account, meaning all App Builder users authenticate with the same credential. The credential (user name and password) is configured at the data source level.

    Basic authentication is enabled in one of two ways:

    1. Implicit. The credential is defined at the data source level and the data source is not associated with a security provider.

    2. Explicit. The credential is defined at the data source level and the data source is associated with a security provider that has an Authentication Type of Basic.

  • Anonymous: Anonymous authentication is used by default when a credential is not supplied and no other authentication type is selected. Anonymous authentication does not require any configuration. However, it can be explicitly enabled by associating the data source with a security provider that has an Authentication Type of Anonymous.

Credentials

The following credentials can be set when editing an SMTP Client security provider:

Type Description
Password Basic authentication user name and password.

Properties

The following properties can be set when editing an SMTP Client security provider:

Parameter Default Description
IgnoreTlsErrors False Tells App Builder to ignore TLS certificate validation errors.
This is for testing purposes only and should not be enabled on a production system.
