Unable to configure SMTP to Amazon SES on Nexus 3

[Andrew Heald]

Hi All,

I've configured my Confluence & JIRA instances just fine, but I can't find the right buttons to push for Nexus 3. Judging by the log errors it could just be down to my misunderstanding the TLS/SSL check boxes.

Does anyone have a working configuration for this?

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Take a look at the following open issue: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-13757

Try configuring your email server and skipping the 'Verify Email Server' button; there's an open issue with just the verify feature, but if saved properly, email integration with Amazon SES does work.

Hi

How can I see details about this issue? I don't seem to have permissions to view this, even after logging in

I am really interested in this as I have run into the same issue

The issue is private, because it contains logs and other information from a user that can't be shared.

The problem only affects the verify button though, so if you configure your email and don't hit verify it will work.   Here's a workaround you can use to verify this:

1. Log in as an administrator.
   
2. Go to Email. 
   
3. Re-enter the credentials carefully, make sure Enabled is checked, and click Save. Don't click Verify.
   
4. Now go to Tasks.
   
5. Create Task.
   
6. Select Execute script.
   
7. Enter:
   
1. a name
2. set notification email to an account you can check
3. groovy for the language
4. For script source, enter just 'throw new IllegalStateException("foo")' (no single quotes)
5. Select Manual for task Frequency
8. Save, then run your new task.
   

You should get an email successfully. If true, that means repository manager can successfully send through your SES account; the Verify control on the Email view just doesn't use the correct credentials.

Thanks, that was exactly what I did to verify the issue.  Works now.
