Configuring Edge SMTP Using SSL

[#1]

Attempting to configure Edge's smtp configuration using SSL with 4.15.07.03. It appears that smtp portion is using a hardcoded value of 465 for the port. We ran the script ui-set.smtp.sh and entered the following information.

Script Prompt

Host: XXXXXXX

Port: 587

Use SSL: y

User/Pass: XXXXXX

apigee4/conf/ui

#mail.smtp.user=

#mail.smtp.pass=

mail.smtp.channel=ssl

mail.smtp.port=587

mail.smtp.tls="true"

UI - start.out log file

Caused by: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: XXXXXXX, port: 465;
  nested exception is:

We tried other configurations without SSL and it appears that these settings work as designed. We see the port number updated appropriately in the error messages.

In case anyone hits this issue, I created a manual workaround to force traffic to 587 using iptables. Not the prettiest solution but it will work until a code fix is made available.

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 465 -j DNAT --to :587
