Indy components (IdPOP3)

[James Williams]

Hello

I am not quite sure where to ask this question, so I figured I would start
in this group.

Has anyone successfully used the IdPOP3 to access a mail client that uses
the SPA authentication. I have tried different authentication settings, but
have not been able to get the component to login in sucessfully.

Thanks,


James

Which version of Indy are you using?

And what exactly have you tried so far?

Ok. I have Indy 10.1.5

Here is what I am trying to do. I want to pull the email off of my mail
server, which uses the ActiveDirectory for usernames. I also set POP3
server to use SPA secure password authentication. Nothing big there.

Now, on the IdPOP3, I have tried atAPOP and set the username and password
accordingly. I get a Login Failure. I know it is partially working because
if I try this to many times, it locks the user account.

I have tried atUserpass, then I get a message saying SPA Required, use AUTH
or APOP. First, AUTH is not an option for AuthType. And I have tried
atAPOP.

I have tried atSASL and tried TIdSASLLogin, TIdSASLExternal, well all of the
available TIdSASL and none of them work.

Does Indy even support the Microsoft SPA at all??? and if not, is there
another email component that does?

Thanks,


James

You have a very old version then, and should consider upgrading.

Yes, it is - use atSASL for that.

Not natively just yet. SPA requires the use of NTLM. The Tiburon branch of
Indy 10.2.3 has an experimental SASL implementation of NTLM, but I don't
know if it has been tested yet. If you don't want to use a test build, then
you could write your own TIdSASL-derived class that implements NTLM. Either
way, such a class can then be used in TIdPOP3's SASLMechanisms collection,
and set AuthType to atSASL.

Thanks Remy.

Just one last question. Can you tell me how to get the latest version of
Indy for BDS 2006. I have been to the Indy site and it is a maze just
trying to find the download. Then I went to the link for Indy via
www.indyproject.org:8080/svn , then selected indy10 in the Repository
instances, but it only points to branches, tags and trunk, whatever that is.

Regards,


James

Follow the download links on Indy's website.

I have been to the Indy site and it is a maze just trying to
find the download.

Look for the Development Snapshot. You can download it as a single .zip
file from the Fulgan mirror.

Then I went to the link for Indy via www.indyproject.org:8080/svn,
then selected indy10 in the Repository instances, but it only points
to branches, tags and trunk, whatever that is.

The SVN server contains the live source code for Indyin its raw form.
