[GeoNode-devel] Sending emails using Exchange 2013 server and NTLM authentication

[Francesco Bartoli]

I cannot figure out how this would be related to GeoNode. I strongly believe that it is a general question for a django user mailing list or StackOverFlow

Thanks,
Francesco

I realized that the default email backend in GeoNode `django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend` only supports LOGIN, PLAIN or CRAM-MD5 for authentication. Luckily, I found another backend (https://github.com/shadiakiki1986/django-smtp-ntlm-backend) for NTLM authentication. But it does not work.

Does anybody has experience with using Exchange and NTLM authentication for sending emails with GeoNode? Or is there any other email backend I can use? I'm grateful for any hints.
