SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

Asked by leonelvsc

I set this on my config.php and config-defaults.php on the lib folder file

$cfg->smtphosts = 'smtp.gmail.com';
// If you have specified an smtp server above, and the server requires authentication,
// enter them here
$cfg->smtpuser = '<email address hidden>';
$cfg->smtppass = '**************************';

any ideas?

The bug has been fixed on master and will likely be populated to other versions soon.

In order to use gmail smtp server, in addition to the settings you use, you have to define secure connection protocol:

You may use either:
   $cfg->smtpsecure = 'ssl';
   $cfg->smtpport = 465;
or
   $cfg->smtpsecure = 'tls';
   $cfg->smtpport = 587;

Can you help with this problem?
