javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: failed to connect, no password specified?
Try to create an javax.mail.Authenticator Object, and send that in with the properties object to the Session object.
Authenticator edit:
You can modify this to accept a username and password and you can store them there, or where ever you want.
public class SmtpAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
public SmtpAuthenticator() {
super();
}
@Override
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
String username = "user";
String password = "password";
if ((username != null) && (username.length() > 0) && (password != null)
&& (password.length () > 0)) {
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
}
return null;
}
In your class where you send the email:
SmtpAuthenticator authentication = new SmtpAuthenticator();
javax.mail.Message msg = new MimeMessage(Session
.getDefaultInstance(emailProperties, authenticator));
You need to add the Object Authentication as the Parameter to the Session. such as
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator(){
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(
"[email protected]", "XXXXX");// Specify the Username and the PassWord
}
});
now You will not get this kind of Exception....
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: failed to connect, no password specified?
Your email session should be provided an authenticator instance as below
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(
"[email protected]", "password");
}
});
