Sending Windchill notification with SMTP server using TLS

There' are a few discussions on this already but I was not able to get things working after following them so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I want to configure Windchill to use an SMTP server that uses TLS.  I wasn't successful in getting this to work and don't have access to the SMTP server so I switched to trying to use gmail SMTP since it looks like others have gotten this to work in the past. 

I have:

1) Enabled IMAP in the gmail account

2) Enabled less secure access in the gmail account

3) Exported a certificate for smtp.gmail.com and imported it into the JRE keystore using keytool.

4) Emailed my corporate account from the gmail account to make sure it doesn't get caught as spam

5) Set the following Windchill properties:

  • wt.mail.from=<gmail address>
  • wt.notify.notificationSenderEmail=<gmail address>
  • wt.mail.mailhost=smtp.gmail.com:587
  • wt.mail.properties=$(wt.home)$(dir.sep)mail.properties
  • wt.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
  • wt.mail.starttls.enable=true  (I'm pretty sure the line above is the correct property but saw it called out this way a few times so set this as well just in case)
  • wt.mail.smtp.starttls.required=true
  • wt.mail.smtp.ssl.trust=smtp.gmail.com
  • wt.mail.smtp.username=<-> - this is stored in mail.properties file
  • wt.mail.smtp.password=<gmail password> - this is stored in mail.properties file

6) Tried to send email from Windchill.  The email stays in the queue and never gets sent.

I turned on the verbosity in Windchill.  In the method server log it appears to connect but not using TLS (my IP XXXX out for security) :

Any suggestions for what I'm missing highly appreciated!

These look pretty much like what I have but went through and reset them all again without any luck.   Our servers are all in the cloud so we are using SSL. Using openssl: openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:587 -starttls smtp  I'm able to submit an email without the STARTTLS issue so my guess it's something to do with the java certificate.  I've tried redownloading and reimporting the smtp.google.com certificate into the keystore but still no luck...

I suspect a syntax error in the wt.properties, it is firing the connection without TLS. If I comment my TLS enable line in wt.properties I get the same error as yours. Stating 10.1 TLS is enabled, so you are good.

Maybe the issue is my version of Windchill?  I'm on 10.2 M020.  I know PTC doesn't support TLS with the SMTP server but since others had gotten it to work, I was hopeful I could figure it out...
