AuthMechanism Property

The authentication mechanism to be used when connecting to the mail server.

Syntax

public int getAuthMechanism();
public void setAuthMechanism(int authMechanism);


Enumerated values:
  public final static int amUserPassword = 0;
  public final static int amCRAMMD5 = 1;
  public final static int amNTLM = 2;
  public final static int amSASLPlain = 4;
  public final static int amSASLDigestMD5 = 5;
  public final static int amKerberos = 6;
  public final static int amXOAUTH2 = 7;

Remarks

By default, AuthMechanism is amUserPassword (0), and default plaintext authentication is used to login to the server. If AuthMechanism is set to amCRAMMD5 (1), the more secure CRAM-MD5 authentication is used instead.

If AuthMechanism is set to amNTLM (2) NTLM authentication will be used.

AuthMechanism can be set to amSASLPlain (4) as well. Note, however, that servers will often require SSL or some other encrypted session protection be used when this authentication mechanism is requested.

If AuthMechanism is set to amKerberos (6) Kerberos authentication will be used. NOTE: This functionality is only available in Windows.

Default Value

0
