SMTP Password not saved

Hi! I got problem with mail notifications setup (Deadline-7.0.3.0 WIN). Test message pass well, but when I hit ok button, seems like password erased and authentication fails. Opening settings again shows empty password string. Secondary smtp is not working too…

2015-03-14 23:21:39: Error occurred while trying to send email:
2015-03-14 23:21:39: System.Net.Mail.SmtpException - The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at
2015-03-14 23:21:39: Failed to send email using Primary SMTP Server. Trying again with Secondary SMTP Server.

Hello,

So it looks like that error is one we have seen in 7.0 when the smtd password is too long. We have fixed this in Deadline 7.1, which is in beta, so I would suggest either trying out the beta, or maybe shortening the password for your smtp server a little.

Cheers,
