Configuring GMail for Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

Configuring GMail for Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

Follow the instructions from Configuring JIRA to Send SMTP Mail
:

Download OpenSSL:

Linux
: http://www.openssl.org/

Windows
: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/openssl.htm

Import the SSL certificate from Gmail:

For Windows
: double-click the openssl file from the directory that gets installed. Run

s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465

For Linux
: run:

 openssls_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465

From the output, you want only the alphanumeric string between the lines
which say 'BEGIN CERTIFICATE' and 'END CERTIFICATE' (inclusive
). Copy
the results into a file called gmail.cert using your favorite text
editor.



Exit the openssl prompt, and return to your Java installation's bin
directory. Import the cert into your keystore:

"A keystore is created whenever you use a -genkey, -import, or -identitydb command to add data to a keystore that doesn't yet exist. More specifically, if you specify, in the -keystore option, a keystore that doesn't yet exist, that keystore will be created. If you don't specify a -keystore option, the default keystore is a file named .keystore in your home directory. If that file does not yet exist, it will be created." From Sun´s Documentation on Keytool

For Windows
:

keytool -import

-alias smtp.gmail.com -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file C:/path/to/gmail.cert

Fore Linux
:(use the keytool under $JAVA_HOME
)

sudo keytool -import

-alias smtp.gmail.com -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file /path/to/gmail.cert

The default keystore password is 'changeit'. 如果导入失败，可以尝试换-keystore 后面的路径，或者将cacerts删掉后再导入（删除可能会影响其他cert）

Move
( not copy! ) the activation and mail jar files from
the /WEB-INF/lib folder to the /common/lib (Tomcat 5.5) or /lib (Tomcat
6) folder.

Add Gmail as a JNDI Resource in /conf/server.xml in-between JIRA's
<Context>...</Context> ( after line 49 ). Change your
username and password:

<Resource name="mail/GmailSmtpServer"

auth="Container"

type="javax.mail.Session"

mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"

mail.smtp.port="465"

mail.smtp.auth="true"

mail.smtp.user="myusername@gmail.com"

password="mypassword"

mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"

mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"

/>

Add
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts to JAVA_OPTS(, or
JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts $JAVA_OPTS"
to the top of bin/setenv.sh)

Configure the SMTP server in JIRA's interface, use the JNDI setting. The proper value (if using the default example), is:

java:comp/env/mail/GmailSmtpServer

restart jira
