Ошибка 535 authentication credentials invalid

In the code below I tried 2 combinations

The User (refer to attached image), the password
The Access ID and the Access Key

Both gave the same error. I ran this code in my eclipse environment in my home network.

Important

Your SMTP user name and password are not the same as your AWS access key ID and secret access key. Do not attempt to use your AWS credentials to authenticate yourself against the SMTP endpoint. For more information about credentials, see Using Credentials With Amazon SES.

Here’s the link: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/smtp-credentials.html

The issue is fixed in our case with the following : The AWS SMTP had special characters in its credentials . The credentials have to be url encoded and then provided in the configuration.

If you’re using Terraform, you can use the following .tf file so that you can get the proper data

resource "aws_iam_user" "smtp_user" {
  name = "smtp_user"
}

resource "aws_iam_access_key" "smtp_user" {
  user = aws_iam_user.smtp_user.name
}

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "ses_sender" {
  statement {
    actions   = ["ses:SendRawEmail"]
    resources = ["*"]
  }
}

resource "aws_iam_policy" "ses_sender" {
  name        = "ses_sender"
  description = "Allows sending of e-mails via Simple Email Service"
  policy      = data.aws_iam_policy_document.ses_sender.json
}

resource "aws_iam_user_policy_attachment" "test-attach" {
  user       = aws_iam_user.smtp_user.name
  policy_arn = aws_iam_policy.ses_sender.arn
}

output "smtp_username" {
  value = aws_iam_access_key.smtp_user.id
}

output "smtp_password" {
  value = aws_iam_access_key.smtp_user.ses_smtp_password_v4
}

This will output the user name and password needed for SMTP authentication for the region.

This will do the proper computation for the password.

I found that it’s not enough to create the SES SMTP credentials. After you do that, go to Domains, select your domain, Identity Policies, Policy Generator. You’ll need to get the SMTP user’s ARN, which you can find in the IAM section.

Obtaining Your Amazon SES SMTP Credentials

You need an Amazon SES SMTP user name and password to access the Amazon SES SMTP interface. You can use the same set of SMTP credentials in all AWS regions.

Important

Your SMTP user name and password are different from your AWS access key ID and secret access key. For more information about credentials, see Using Credentials With Amazon SES.

Follow this doc to get SMTP credentials

Is your email application throwing Amazon SES SMTP 535 Authentication Credentials Invalid error?

Amazon offers the Simple Email Service as a quick option to send emails.

However, sending emails often shows authentication errors due to wrong credentials, account suspension, etc.

At Bobcares, we help AWS customers to send emails correctly as part of our AWS Support Services.

Today, we’ll see how we fix the credentials invalid error with Amazon SES.

Where does Amazon SES SMTP 535 Authentication Credentials Invalid error show up?

In general, Amazon SES works as a quick way to send emails from applications. In this model, the user need not have to maintain their mail servers. It allows sending emails from the user’s domain name itself. That’s why many users make use of Amazon SES to send mails.

That raises the question, where do users find Amazon SES useful?

The common scenarios include sending emails from the command line, SMTP mail programs, applications like WordPress, eclipse, etc.

Recently, a WordPress customer reported the SMTP failed error in his email form as:

Common causes of Amazon SES SMTP 535 Authentication Credentials Invalid error

Amazon SES uses an SMTP login to authenticate a connection.

Let’s now check the common causes for email failure using SES.

Incorrect SMTP login details

One of the top reasons for SMTP failure can be invalid SMTP login details. Many AWS users provide their AWS IAM username and password in their email application. But, this is different from the SES SMTP login details. For the emails to work, users have to give the correct SES login details.

Special characters in credentials

Similarly, the special characters in SMTP credentials can also create problems while sending emails. The credentials require URL encoding and then provide in the configuration.

Suspension of sending privileges

Likewise, suspension of Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) can also cause a 535 error. SES is a mail service that has many users. Therefore, Amazon continuously monitors the number of emails sent from each user. If any of the users send bulk emails or spam, there will be resource abuse. This can affect other users on the same server. Here, Amazon suspends the sending privileges of the suspicious account.

It is always recommended to keep a close watch on your email activity to avoid suspension of service. As a best practice, we always enable authentication with SMTP. In this way, only authorized users can send emails.

How we fixed Amazon SES 535 error?

We’ll now move on and check how we resolved the 535 error with Amazon SES.

Checking Amazon SES status

As the first step, our Support Engineers verified the status of Amazon SES service. This helped us to rule out the possibility of account suspension.

Verifying SMTP login

Further, we verified whether the customer was using the correct SMTP login details.

For this, we logged in to the customer’s AWS account, and selected “AWS Management Console”. Then we opened Amazon SES console.

In the navigation pane, we selected SMTP Settings. In the content pane, we clicked Show User SMTP Credentials. Thus, we could see the current SMTP credentials.

If the user account was found missing, we click on Create My SMTP Credentials. That will automatically create a login with default values.

Likewise, to change your SMTP password, we delete the existing SMTP user in the IAM console. Then, complete the procedures to generate a new set of SMTP credentials.

Validating SMTP connection

Moving on, we validated the SMTP connection from the SES console. It worked fine.

However, the settings in the WP SMTP plugin in WordPress was incorrect. Therefore, we corrected the login details and the error was fixed.

We always make sure to check for special characters in the password.

[Trouble connecting with Amazon SES login? We can help you.]

Conclusion

In short, Amazon SES SMTP 535 Authentication Credentials Invalid occurs due to wrong login details, suspended SES account, etc. Today, we saw how our AWS Experts checked and fixed email sending via Amazon SES.

Источник

When an SMTP mail server responds to an attempted email delivery with the error message:

535 5.7.8 Authentication credentials invalid
This indicates that the mail server refused to accept the message because the client supplied invalid or insufficient authentication credentials.

You should check the username & password (or other authentication method) you are using to authenticate with the SMTP server before attempting to re-send the email.

This is basically because credentials is not correct !!

May be this will help you !!

535 Authentication failed. Restarting authentication process.

If a SMTP client authenticates but the username or password is incorrect, or the account is disabled, hMailServer sends this error message to the client.

I am using jango smtp setting in my project.

Below is my code:
```
funcation sendmail()
{

$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(

  'timeout' => '30',

  'port' => '25', 

  'host' => 'relay.jangosmtp.net',

  'username' => 'xxxx',

  'password' => '1234567'

);
}
```
sendmail function gives the following error:
```
SMTP Error: 535 5.7.8 Authentication credentials invalid
```
What may be the reason?
- what jango documentation are you using? can you link us?
