Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Gregr]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

With thunderbird 5.0 beta 2
enable debug in mail.wizard.logging.console
File > New... > Mail account



Actual results:

When creating config with autoconfig in thunderbird 5.0 beta 2 error appear :
Programming bug : assertion failed, see log

in console log

2011-06-28 14:18:08	mail.wizard	ERROR	Error creating account.  ex=Programming bug. Assertion failed, see log., stack=Exception("Programming bug. Assertion failed, see log.")@chrome://messenger/content/accountcreation/util.js:189

Click manual configuration, change nothing, and the account creation finshes normally


Expected results:

The account should be created without clicking manual creation. Same procedure works with thunderbird 3.1.11 on the same autoconfig server

What domain are you trying to configure ?

Comment 2

[Gregr]

I'm trying configure domain ifremer.fr
Not in the ISPDB https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/...
but served internally by http://autoconfig.ifremer.fr/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=....

Hum so to me from ziggo/casema/nl http://autoconfig.ifremer.fr/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=[e-mail] is unreachable so says http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/autoconfig.ifremer.fr . Can you check that the server is effectively up ?

It's up but it's only accessible from our intranet here's a copy paste of the xml served for the response :

<clientConfig version="1.1">
  <emailProvider id="ifremer.fr">
    <domain>ifremer.fr</domain>
    <displayName>Mail Ifremer</displayName>
    <displayShortName>ifremer</displayShortName>
    <incomingServer type="imap">

        <socketType>plain</socketType>
        <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
        <username>grocher</username>
    </incomingServer>

    <outgoingServer type="smtp">

no more white spaces in the xml document (i think)

<clientConfig version="1.1">
  <emailProvider id="ifremer.fr">
    <domain>ifremer.fr</domain>

1657     assert(configSchema.isComplete());

Comment 9

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

config.outgoing.username is empty

Comment 10

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

(Yes, you must give a username. Even if the server doesn't need one.
Any SMTP server should use username+password, so that it also works outside the network. Authentication via IP address is officially deprecated, see RFC 4409.)

Ok, works now with a username for the smtp server.
Lack of message specifying that it was missing has confuse me.
