Issue The EmailHandling library implements function blocks to send and receive emails with the controller application support secure and unsecure communication with an email server. Since it is not recommended to use unsecure communication over public networks and above all over the internet. Furthermore, the most popular public email servers do not support unsecure communication. Therefore, a direct communication between the M241/M251 controller and the public email server is not possible. Resolution To address this issue, the recommended third-party tool to use is stunnel. Stunnel is a proxy designed to add TLS encryption functionality to existing clients (controllers) and servers (public email) without any changes in the program’s code. Stunnel uses the OpenSSL library for cryptography, so it supports whatever cryptographic algorithms are compiled into the library.

Issue Due to the discontinuation of support for less secure apps and user Google Accounts, an application thatutilizes the SendEmail and ReceiveEmail functions is no longer operational. To maintaining account security, Google no longer endorses the use of third-party applications or devices that require users to sign into their Google Account login with their username and password. Allowing sing-ins from less secure applications can increase the risk of hackers gaining access to your account. Blocking sing-ins from such applications is a measure that can help keep your account secure Resolution App passwords aren’t recommended and are unnecessary in most cases. To help keep your account secure, use “Sign in with Google” to connect apps to your Google Account. An app password is a 16-digit password that gives a less secure app or device permission to access your Google Account Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Schneider Electric.

Issue To encrypt data exchanged between M262 Client and MQTT broker, a certificate is required. Without a valid certificate the communication between the two communicating parties is not secured. Resolution To create a valid certificate OpenSSL is used. OpenSSL is a widely-used open-source software library that provides cryptographic functions and protocols. It is designed to provide a toolkit for secure communication over computer networks and to implement encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and other cryptographic operations.
