There are files in there too, but I'm not really sure how they relate to the vault location described above. But maybe that's the answer.Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Credentials Here's an article that alludes to some of the credential vault API functions that could get you started on something that could load the vault, delete the creds from it, then unload the vault, since just deleting the files off the disk seems kind of crude.

Now you can authenticate with AUTH LOGIN or AUTH PLAIN, and send email as described above. Run the EHLO command after establishing a secure SSL connection with the SMTP server. Openssl.exe s_client -starttls smtp -connect :25 In order to connect to the SMTP host from the command line with the SSL/TLS encryption, use the following command:
Sudo yum install openssl – on CentOS/RedHat
Sudo apt-get install openssl – on Ubuntu/Debian On Linux, OpenSSL is installed from the base repositories:.
Let’s look at how to use OpenSSL to connect to the SMTP server via TLS and authenticate using AUTH LOGIN. Telnet doesn’t support SSL or TLS, so you need to use the OpenSSL tool to connect to the SMTP server via TLS.
You can authenticate to the SMTP server using the LOGIN and PLAIN methods only after initializing the TLS connection. Only SMTP connections encrypted with TLS are allowed. Most SMTP providers don’t allow plain text SMTP sessions. The Get-MessageTrackingLog PowerShell cmdlet can be used to search for message delivery information stored in the message tracking log in on-premises Exchange.
