O365 (with app-password) issue

[cas]

I am using version 11.0 with mantis 2.25.3 and am trying to read a O365 mailbox with the following settings:

Code: Select all

Description: Mantis-mail
Mailbox type: IMAP
Hostname: outlook.office365.com
TCP port (optional): 993
Connection encryption: STARTTLS
Verify SSL certificate: 0
Username: casn@********
Password: ******
Authentication method: LOGIN

For the password I created a app-password in the MS portal (is this supported by the plugin?).
Also tried with SSL verificationon but that generates the same result.

The following is the result of a complete test:

Code: Select all

Location: Attempt login
[pear_error: message=", " code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]

What does this error actually means (I can login to the mailbox with the normal password using Outlook)?
Any guidance would be appreciated

STARTTLS should be used with non-encrypted ports like 110 and 143

This works for me

Code: Select all

Description: IMAP TEST: mantis-bug-tracker
Mailbox type: IMAP
Hostname: ssl://outlook.office365.com
TCP port (optional): 993
Connection encryption: SSL
Verify SSL certificate: 1
Username: Mantis@****.**
Password: ******
Authentication method: USER

The reason for the weird error is because the IMAP pear package does not handle a mixup with unencrypted and encrypted connections very well

Thanks for the feedback, I changed the connection accordingly.
However:

Code: Select all

[pear_error: message="NO, LOGIN failed." code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]

So the login fail with the app password and the regular password (the one I can logon with in outlook).
The app-password is supposed to avoid the 2FA to kick in.
Have you ever used the app-password or should 2FA be disabled on this mailbox?

I have tested my imap connection via this MS website:
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com
Perhaps an issue, here they are referring to imap4.
So the result is that the connection is working as expected. However I still cannot retrieve emails from my mailbox.
Result of "complete test"is:
Description: TestCas
Mailbox type: IMAP
Hostname: ssl://outlook.office365.com
TCP port (optional): 993
Connection encryption: SSL
Verify SSL certificate: 0
Username: cas@*
Password: ******
Authentication method: USER
Basefolder (optional): MantisMails

Location: Attempt login
[pear_error: message="NO, LOGIN failed." code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]

So I am a bit stuck here, any ideas someone?

Sorry, no input for you here, just posting to see updates if there are any. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get the POP3 method working in Mantis to no avail. In a couple of weeks Microsoft is apparently forcing the use of OAuth authentication, and since we use the EmailReporting plugin it means we will be forced to stop using Mantis because it doesn't support that auth method. And this has been coming for years so not a sudden change...we've very sad we have to change ticket software. See: https://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27637

Hi Mushu,
changing to another helpdesk system takes time and money. Perhaps it is worthwhile to fund the development of this functionality

[mushu]

Yeah, with no budget that's not gonna happen. What I'm working on is a C# script to use OAuth and log into the mailbox and grab the emails and delete them, then write them into a text file. At that point I'm *hoping* that I can then launch the batch file and redirect the email texts into the EmailReporting script and trick it into thinking it is reading them from the mailbox instead of from a pipe. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking, I have two weeks to make it work lol.

[SL-Gundam]

I'm using EmailReporting with Office365 as well.

Never tried app passwords (which should work). For me 2FA is turned off for the MantisBT mailbox.
If Microsoft is gonna force 2FA, i will be able to use company time to fix it.
My experience with 2FA coding implementations is quite limited so we'll see how easy it is.

[mushu]

Wondering how difficult it would be to get EmailReporting to be able to be "piped" email messages from a text file on disk instead of having it connect to a mail server? Since I don't know PHP it would take me a long time of trial/error to figure out how to do this and we only have until the end of the month. I've gotten an external script that grabs inbox messages from a migrated O365 mailbox and saves then to disk, now I need to get Mantis to be able to read those messages and create tickets/add notes/etc from them.

[cas]

@mushu Then you would also have to re-code all the logic currently in the plugin which is build on having the mail message itself. Also wonder what would happen to attachments

[mushu]

Well, the disk file literally grabs every byte from the server and stuffs it into a file. The Mantis plugin wouldn't really know that it wasn't getting the data from a server unless it grabs each message one-by-one, or queries the server for how many messages to expect, or stuff like that.

EDIT: here is the start of the file that gets written, from the first byte:

Code: Select all

Dear fel

[SL-Gundam]

This function process_single_email basically start the processing of that information.
https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/Ema ... i.php#L566

If you can fill the right variables with information and then run that function it should work.
