SMTP server password requirement and testing email functionality

1) XtremIO GUI insists that i specify username and password for SMTP server. My SMTP server does not require credentials when being accessed from internal networks.  How do i get around that ?

2) Is there a way to test email functionality ?

Thanks

    Not wrong, just upgraded one of our bricks to 4.0.0-64 this week, and was told a new update might be available as soon as this Friday...

    Brett,

    do you upgrade yourself or get RCM involved ?

    RCM. As much as I would have loved to do it myself, wasn't an option.

    Still have one to go, as the first attempt was affected by a known upgrade bug with folder guids. Hopefully sorted this week, then out them both through their paces.

    mine arrived with 4.0.0-64, ESRS is configured to go to my ESRS gateways via FTP so i wanted to use SMTP configuration to email myself of any hardware/software issues.  I guess in the mean time i will need to roll my own script  that will ssh to XMS and parse xmcli output (not ready for REST just yet).

    looked at the release notes for 4.0.1-7  released today but don't see any fixes for the SMTP issue.

    I would recommend working through your EMC account team to get an answer for when the fix would be made available to the customers.

    I've found as a workaround you can leave username blank and just put random characters in the password field.
