  • Can you still point me to your resource for configuration information?
    in Outlook365 Comment by DonBakke May 2016
  • Mark, I have not, but if Office 365 supports 3rd party clients to send out SMTP emails, this should work. Where are you getting your configuration information from? This link suggests the URL is smtp.office365.com.

  • The evaluation version sends out an email to a dummy account. This is done to alert us to people who download the utility but never license it. There are a few companies who have done this and they continually send out emails with the product.

  • Dan, I may have replied hastily. When you say "two relays", do you mean the same email is sent twice to the same target, or are you seeing to emails being sent, but the target only gets it once?
    in SMTP relays Comment by DonBakke May 2016
  • Dan, I think this is because you are using the evaluation version. This should go away once you have it licensed.

  • Matt, Certainly JSON itself can handle Unicode characters, assuming they could be passed through successfully (but OECGI doesn't...so we move on). I wasn't being precise enough in my response because I was focused on your example. First, you wer…
  • Matt, I don't know what any given JSON parser might do, but I am dubious that any would treat that as anything other than plain text. How would you expect it to know the difference? I think you will need to encode the entire payload and then decod…
  • Matt, This is not a JSON problem. It's a OECGI issue. I had an extended discussion with Bryan Shumsky about this last year when we first ran into a similar problem. I won't bore you with the intricate details but it boils down to two issues: * …
  • Thanks for the response. FYI, I have modified HTTP_MCP to work along the lines of option #1 above. I wanted to get something in place quickly, even if only for testing purposes. Also, it is very easy to go from option #1 to #2 and/or #3. If you wan…
  • Matt, Congratulations. You win today's award for helping me to learn something new. I was aware of INET_ABORTED, but others at SRP did the traditional INET-based OECGI work so I sort of ignored it. Your question prompted me to investigate this fur…
  • Mark, Are you convinced this is an IIS issue or are you still considering other causes? If you wanted to rule in/out IIS, I recommend you install Abyss and test it under the same conditions. Abyss is free (for what you need it for), is easy to inst…
  • Hi Mark, No, nothing I have come across. However, if IIS encountered such a problem, I would expect it to return a 414 error.
  • Cool. So you have a plausible solution then?
  • Mark, Honestly, I had considered this to be a length issue, but thought it was a maximum length issue rather than a specific length issue. So I overlooked the pattern you finally discovered. This also makes more sense of the anomalous values you a…
  • Okay, well perhaps you had already made the connection, but this tells me that the IIS header problem is directly related to the Authorization header after all. This certainly seems to be a key element. But I'm still baffled as to why certain end po…
  • Also, I have seen IIS report 500 errors with OECGI frequently. I think it was one reason we moved away from IIS. I never figured out why is does this so often.
  • Hi Barry, I saw your post there but hadn't the time to respond. There are two ways I've seen this done. The first is to enable RTF mode with the edit box control. The other is to use an ActiveX control that supports formatted text. In OI 10, they a…
  • Mark, When you are testing from a browser, how are you doing this? Are you just entering the URL into the address bar? Thus, is it fair to say that you are not passing in the Authorization header when using the browser as a client?
  • I think your notes above give me the answer to my next question, but just to be sure...when the authorization header is missing, all additional values are missing as well? Thus, this does not seem to be specific to the Authorization header? I'm stum…
  • Mark, Are you inspecting the request array early, such as in HTTP_MCP before the SetOECGIRequest service, or later? If later, I would suggest that you to inspect the request array before any of the internal services touch it and make changes to it.…
  • Mark, Okay, I'm 99% positive this is IIS swallowing the header for its own use. The same problem occurs with Apache. Both web servers assume you want the web software to manage the authentication. Thus, they take the Authorization header data and a…
  • Mark, what web server software are you using?
  • Mark, As Colin mentioned, he did submit an RDK for us to work with. As last week was RevCon 2016, we did not have an opportunity to test it but I suspect this week we'll take a look and see what we can do.
  • Hi Colin, Actually, my comment was directed to Mark, not you. He had offered to send us an example (I would have guessed an RDK) so we could use it to test on our end. It seems that the original thread ended with him saying he would get back to us.…
  • Colin, It does indeed look like the same problem Mark ran into. Mark, As I recall from reading through the other thread, you were going to send us something to work with for troubleshooting purposes. Did that ever happen?
  • Mark, I may have responded a bit stridently, so I want to revisit this topic. My reservations against OAuth come from two concerns. First, while OAuth is quite popular and is becoming the de-facto authentication protocol by just about everybody, it…
  • Dave, Yes, multipage form just like in OI. Make the OLE control "All Pages". The specific event that the SRP Tab control generates is OnSelChanged. However, this won't trigger unless you properly qualify the event so OpenInsight is listening for i…
  • Hi Dave, When you ask about "how to name" the controls, are you referring to the ProgID? If so, then all of our ProgIDs are documented in the "info box" that appears on each controls's main wiki page. For instance, here is the SRP Tab controls main…
  • Hi Mark, We've implemented a solution for OI to act as a client that connects to another web service via OAuth, but we have not had a requirement to implement OAuth as an authentication protocol within the framework. If you needed to do something a…
