Hello friends,
i am using Recover Password control in my application.
I have done changes in web.config such as

XML

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp from="rashidchamp1@gmail.com" deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="abc@gmail.com" password="XXXX" defaultCredentials="false"/>
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

and have used membership tables accordingly.

But when i click on submit to recover a new password via email it shows me error of

System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. x8sm12425810pbr.11

Kindly help

Solution is that gmail requires you to use a secure connection. It can be set in your web.config using enableSsl attribute as true like this:

HTML

<network host="smtp.gmail.com" enablessl="true" port="587" username="abc@gmail.com" password="XXXX" defaultcredentials="false" />

When using enablessl="true" it throws an error of

Unrecognized attribute 'enablessl'
