Configure email in JasperServer with SMTP Authentication

This is an issue I came across while configuring JasperServer for emailing reports. Our mail server users SMTP Authentication. But, in the general email configuration of JasperServer (js.quartz.properties file) doesn't provide a way to put this property. But this property can be set in a different location.

In this case you need to modify a file called "applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml". This file can be found in TOMCAT Installation Folder\webapps\jasperserver\WEB-INF folder. You need to find the following tag <bean id="reportSchedulerMailSender"....

and put the following property inside it,

<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
</props>
</property>

Restart tomcat and things should work fine. Refer to the following forum thread where I got the answer for my post.
