The smtp authentication command creates a user name and password for logging in to the SMTP server.
The undo smtp authentication command deletes the specified user name and password for logging in to the SMTP server.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| user-name | Specifies the user name for authentication on the SMTP server. | The value must be a registered user name on the SMTP
server. The value is a case-sensitive string. Its length ranges from 1 to 64. NOTE:
Whether the user name needs to carry the domain
name is determined by SMTP mail servers. The user names used to log
in to some SMTP mail servers must carry domain names, whereas the
user names used to log in to other SMTP mail servers do not need to
carry domain names. |
| password | Specifies the password for authentication on the SMTP server. | The value must be the same as the password of the user name registered on the SMTP server. To enhance security, the password is recommended to meet the minimum strength requirement, that is, it needs to contain at least three types of the following characters: upper-case letters (A to Z), lower-case letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters such as exclamation points (!), at signs (@), number signs (#), dollar signs ($), and percent (%). |
Before you create an SMTP server account, run the smtp server command to configure the SMTP server and ensure that the FW and SMTP server can communicate.
