More information

AttributeDescription
Property name glide.smtp.auth
Configuration type System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do)
Configure in Instance Security Center No
Purpose Enforces SMTP Authentication
Recommended value true
Functional ImpactThis remediation enforces authentication to the external mail server before the content is delivered in the form of an email. If automation is set up to deliver email content, there may be an impact until you set the property and provide a relevant username/password for mail server access.
Security risk (Low) Enable SMTP authentication before sending the content to the external mail server. Authentication should always take place before the transactions take place to/from to the instance.
