WIndows 7 Live Mail Server Config: Clear Text Authentication - mail-server

I've been following instructions to configure the mail server, noticing they all suggest using "Log on using clear text authentication" setting.
What are the ramifications of that? I wouldn't want to send my credentials in clear text, if that's what this setting implies :)

FMS 16 cant get a green lock

Good afternoon everyone,
Question about Uploading file in FMS 16 but getting an Orange Security Lock.
I already installed the Filemaker Server 16 and install SSL Certificate and domain from Go Daddy.
Then try uploading an existing file in Filemaker Pro Advanced 16, after choosing local host and type the admin console credentials im getting the orange security lock and cant upload the file. (Attached image)
I read in another thread to reinstall FMS and it should change it to a green lock, but even after a fresh reinstall, it hasn't changed it to green.
I can verify the certificate is good, Am I missing something?
I already purchase SSL certificate and Domain in Go Daddy, yet im getting in webdirect an error "Certificate is not valid".
Thanks in advance for any advice.enter image description here
It looks you have entered IP address instead of domain name. That might be the reason for orange lock. SSL verifies the domain name, not IP address.
File Upload error says Encryption password is incorrect. You have enabled encryption on rest. Enter the correct encryption password. Once file uploaded, go to admin console, open the file. Enter the encryption password and save it. Hope, it fixes the issue.

Thunderbird: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder

So I've been getting this error using Thunderbird with my Gmail account when trying to send emails:
Thunderbird: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-
This is actually happening with all my Mail accounts and not just Thunderbird...
Things I have tried:
I changed the connection security on server settings from STARTTLS to SSL/TLS.
I tried changing THUNDERBIRD preferences editor security.tls.version.min from 3 to 1
Both didn't seem to work for me. Anyone have the same problem and found a solution to this?
Help menu -> turn troubleshoot mode on
this will disable all your addons and restart thunderbird in troubleshoot mode on.
This solved my problem.
go to settings /passwords/ note both SMTP and IMAP passwords , delete the registered passwords, restart Thunderbird enter the password again IMAP, then create a message Send it , it will prompt for SMTP password, enter it. That's it, it worked for me
I just reconfigured "Copies & Folders"
When sending messages, automatically:
Place a copy in:
(and selected "Sent" Folder on:)
Previously "Other" was selected (and worked just fine...)
This happened from one day to the other, with no update from Thunderbird... this is very very strange!

The parameter is incorrect (WinMgmt)

I have a BizTalk 2013r2 Standard Edition application server with CU7 installed. The BizTalk databases are hosted on a separate Sql Server 2014 server. This setup has been working fine for many months - until today! A colleague used the BizTalk admin console to make a change to the address BizTalk uses to the reach the SMTP server, by selecting Platform Settings\Adapters\SMTP\\properties.
After making this change, on attempting to refresh the BizTalk Admin Console, the following error is displayed:
From what I've googled, it seems this may be due to some corruption in the SSO database. I have a backup of the SSO database, and a backup of the SSO key along with the password. Before restoring the backup of the SSO database, I wanted to check that I would be able to restore the key, so I ran ssoconfig -restoreSecret from the command line. I was prompted to enter the password. If I intentionally enter the wrong password then it tells me the password is incorrect. However, if I enter the correct password then it displays the message "BAD DATA".
Although the BizTalk admin console is currently unusable, thankfully the BizTalk host instance continue to run and messages are being processed as expected.
Can anyone please suggest why I'm getting the "BAD DATA" message, or perhaps a work-around in order to solve the problem?
I had this problem again and blogged about it at BizTalk WinMgt error solution. As Colin says the hard part is identifying the corrupt handler. It is probably the SMTP send handler but you should check this using WBEMTEST first. I found this link helpful on using WBEMTest. The parameter is incorrect (WinMgt)" error when refreshing the BizTalk Group in BizTalk Administration Console
In my case a quick fix to bring the BizTalk Administration Console back to life was to hack the database. N.B. This probably won't be supported by MS. In my case it was the FTP send handler that screwed up. So I ran
USE [BizTalkMgmtDb]
GO
DECLARE #return_value int
EXEC #return_value = [dbo].[adm_SendHandler2_Delete]
#AdapterName = N'FTP',
#HostName = N'Sending32'
SELECT 'Return Value' = #return_value
GO
At this point the BizTalk Administration console came back to life. In my case it worked because I was creating a new handler but in your case you just edited it. It will take all your SMTP handling out.
I then fixed the corruption using the BizTalk Administration console.
In my case I had to set every FTP receive and send adapter temporarily to a FILE adapter.
I then deleted the FTP adapter and then re-added it. Finally I reset the all the change receive and send location from FILE back to FTP.
This was all very scary on a live system.
Finally I believe that this is bug in BizTalk 2013 R2 because I've seen it happen on 2 systems and now I have heard that the same thing happened to you.
The WinMgt error happens when one of the Adapters setting has gotten itself corrupted. See WinMgt error when refreshing Group Hub
Removing and re-adding the adapter to the host usually fixes it. The trick of course is identifying which Adapter / Host, I would start with the SMTP adapter in your case.

Firefox 37.0.2 mailto link doesn't launch compose window in Live Mail

After Win 7->8.1 upgrade, Email links in Firefox 37.0.2 browser now launch my mail client (Windows Live Mail) but not a compose message window in that app. In Windows 7, Firefox option "Email Link" would launch WLM and open a compose message window pre-populated with my email address as sender and web page link. This message was integrated with my address book for autocomplete suggestions for "To". My default mail settings are all correct as evidenced by the fact that WLM DOES launch from mailto. But it seems to launch just the WLM executable without the -compose option.
Another oddity: When I first reset my defaults for mailto to WLM, mailto DID link to the compose message function of WLM, but has not done so since. No other software installs were done. I've checked and rechecked, turned on and off mail default, with no change.
Any advice is much appreciated. I've researched this for hours but can't find solution save a registry change which seems edge to me.

Can Selenium IDE deal effectively with Browser alerts

Hi I am currently writing a Test script for an ecommerce site using Seleneium IDE, this is in a testing environment in HTTP. The issue I am having is the test payment gateway 3D Secure is in HTTPS so when using FireFox the browser displays the security warning message when I am returning from the payment gateway 3D Secure HTTPS to the site testing environment.
'Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?'
I have tried the various commands in the IDE for waitForAlert* and asertAlert* but this javascript alert just seems to over ride any of the commands I use and essentially halts the script until manual intervention is used.
I am unable to turn this particular alert off in FF from what I can assertain from various forums as it is too important to be switched off, I have tried in FF about:config
I can obviusly switch the 3D secure off to allow thee script to run, but I would prefer a complete user scenario to be tested as opposed to a test adapted to suit automation.
Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
I had exactly the same problem :
I use Selenium web driver to test against my local http server which sends redirects to https service (3DS as well btw ;). The problem is not with certs, but with this hardcoded warning of switching between https/http.
Based on the link from MacGyver's answer and this answer Key press in (Ctrl+A) Selenium WebDriver, I tested this and I can confirm it closes "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party" dialog:
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
The other solution, seems to work fine but you'll get UnhandledAlertException with latest Selenium versions (e.g. 2.25.0) :
Actions a = new Actions(driver);
a.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).perform();
Option #1:
The easiest way is to remove the option in security options for your profile:

Option #2:
Not sure if this applies to an untrusted certifiate or your security warning, but the forum thread seemed to fit. It requires that you use Selenium RC Server.

If using Firefox 3, see the following post https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Cert_override.txt
The solution I use to get past this security pop-up is only applicable to Firefox 3 browsers and might be more of an hack than a fix but it works.
Run the selenium test
Select "Accept this certificate permanently" when prompted by popup
Click on the OK button (it might be neccessary to have a pause after this because we need to open explorer to find a file now)
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to => "C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDirxxxx"
This is a temparary profile created by Firefox which contains a file called "cert_override.txt"
Copy "cert_override.txt" to your temp directory
Stop your selenium server.
Open your "selenium-server.jar" file from "c:\selenium-remote-control-xxx\selenium-server-xxx" using WinRar
Drag "cert_override.txt" file into the "selenium-server.jar\customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME" folder in WinRar (do not delete or edit anything in the .jar file!!!!!)
Close WinRar, start selenium and try it again :)
