Setting Advanced Properties for an Email Active Monitor
You can configure the advanced properties for the Email Monitor.
Type or select the appropriate information in the following fields.
SMTP Advanced Properties
SMTP server requires authentication. Select this option if your SMTP server requires
authentication.
Note: The Email Monitor supports CRAM-MD5, LOGIN and PLAIN authentication methods.
The authentication method is not configurable. It is negotiated with the SMTP server
automatically using the strongest mutually supported authentication method.
Username. Type the username to be used with SMTP authentication.
Password. Type the password of the username to be used with authentication.
Use an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS). If your SMTP server supports encrypting
data over a TLS connection (formerly known as SSL), select this option to encrypt
SMTP traffic.
Note: For SMTP connections, WhatsUp Gold only supports explicit SSL sessions negotiated
using the STARTTLS command.
Timeout. Type the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response from the SMTP
server for each command WhatsUp Gold issued. If this time limit is exceeded, the
monitor fails.
Incoming server (IMAP or POP3) advanced properties
Note: WhatsUp Gold supports only clear text authentication method for retrieving mail. To
protect your username and password while retrieving mail, you must use one of the SSL
encryption methods.
Port. Type the port on which your POP3 or IMAP server is running.
Use an encrypted connection. Select this option to connect to a POP3 or IMAP server
in an encrypted mode. Select one of the following encryption methods:
Use implicit SSL. Select this option to login to your POP3 or IMAP server in an
encrypted mode.
Use SSL with STLS. Select this option to login to your POP3 or IMAP server in an
unencrypted mode, and then switch to a TLS connection by sending STARTTLS or
STLS command to the server.
