STRATTLS and TLS Profile.

Is it possible to use UStartTLSSMTP with a TLS Profile, rather than having to rely on USYS$TLS_PARAMS. It doesn't seem so from the documentation, but I wondered if I was just missing something? 
I'd prefer not to set system wide settings for all just to affect SMTP from UPOPMAIL if I can help it.

Yes, that should be possible. For details see:

• LogonSMTP

===
Log on to the designated SMTP server via TCP or TLS.

TCP Example: activate "UPOPMAIL".logonsmtp("smtp.myorg.com", "", "")

TLS Example: activate "UPOPMAIL".logonsmtp("TLS:smtp.myorg.com+465:smtp_profile", "", "")

===

I hope this helps.

LogonSMTP(NetworkConnectionString,"","")

where NetworkConnectionString is:

{NetworkConnector:}HostId{+PortNumber}{:TLSProfile}

TCP Example: activate "UPOPMAIL".logonsmtp("smtp.myorg.com", "", "")

TLS Example: activate "UPOPMAIL".logonsmtp("TLS:smtp.myorg.com+465:smtp_profile", "", "")

Hi Daniel, 
Okay, my understanding of the documentation I have read, is that if you want to use STARTTLS, then the logonSMTP should not use the TLS connector string, but a TCP one because STARTTLS is supposed to be used to upgrade a TCP connection to a TLS one after  initial connection. 
I am trying to mail to an AWS SMTP server. 
I have worked out how to use both the LogonSMTP and the UStartTLSSMTP to make the connection, but the AWS documentation I have found indicates that the TLS Wrapper concept used by the LogonSMTP TLS connection is "Old fashioned" and I am worried that may mean "Obsolete" in the near future.

Hi Iain,

I think that STARTTLS is somewhat "old fashioned". I know that (e.g.) GMail does not support STARTTLS anymore for some time. You need to use a different authorization, like e.g. OAUTH2.

I now can see that it is explicitly mentioned in the doc that the default connection profile is used that is defined by USYS$TLS_PARAMS. Sorry, missed the fine print. Maybe it is an idea to use a different authorization than STARTTLS? We have a sample (in the Rocket Uniface Community Samples library) that shows how to use OAUTH2 authorization (XOAUTH2 Security Driver):

• Using OAUTH2 for the authorization of external apps such as MS Outlook and Gmail

Daniel
