  • 1.  SMTP settings using apikey

    Posted Wed January 06, 2021 03:24 PM
    Hi fellows!

    I'd like know if the new version of Guardium accepts SMTP settings using apikey instead username and password.
    Let me say my scenario, i have a Guardium enviroment with the SendGrid SMTP settings configured with username and password.
    However, the Twilio SendGrid sent a notification that your system doesnt accept anymore this kind of configuration, only API Keys.
    Follow the note:
    https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/upgrade-your-authentication-method-to-api-keys

    Hi Alexandre,

    I never heard about API configuration for SMTP authentication in guardium. Also I have checked the guardium V11 documentation and there are only two below options available for SMPT authentication configuration. There is no authentication type as API keys. I would suggest you to open the case with guardium support team  or use the sendgrid basic authentication credential. 

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    store alerter smtp authentication type ==> Sets the authentication type required by the SMTP server to the one of the following values:

    none: Send without authentication.
    auth: Username/password authentication.

    Thanks
