I am using Bugzilla on windows 7.

I am using the unofficial Bugzilla installer. I followed the steps accordingly and gave valid credentials wherever required.

I open Bugzilla and try to create a new account , but i get the following error.

Software error:
No SASL mechanism found
at C:/Program Files/Bugzilla/perl/perl/site/lib/Authen/SASL.pm line 77
at C:/Program Files/Bugzilla/perl/perl/lib/Net/SMTP.pm line 143

i ran checksetup.pl and found that Authen::SASL and SMTP both are available on my machine.

The output of checksetup.pl is as follows.

Now that you have installed Bugzilla, you should visit the 'Parameters'
page (linked in the footer of the Administrator account) to ensure it
is set up as you wish - this includes setting the 'urlbase' option to
the correct URL.
Press any key to continue . . .

Please tell me what should i do.

Please note: i am running behind a corporate proxy , SSL/TLS is not used internally but i am giving the smtpUser and smtpPass also.

  • which mail server are you using ? – Abhinav Upadhyay Dec 27 '11 at 18:02
  • The Unofficial Windows Bugzilla comes configured with **SMTP** , i suppose this means the local SMTP Server needs to be present, and **Sendmail**, an option to add a third party Mail Transfer Agent.I am not able to get either of them working. – nitesh Jan 23 '12 at 06:16

Most likely cause is that your library is missing Authen::SASL::Perl::NTLM

Please refer to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625781 for details.

It looks like you have configured your Bugzilla system to authenticate with a SASL system when sending e-mail but the specifics for your SASL system has not been configured.

From the Bugzilla Guide:

3.1.12. Email

This page contains all of the parameters for configuring how Bugzilla
deals with the email notifications it sends. See below for a summary of
important options.

...

smtp_username
      Username to use for SASL authentication to the SMTP server.
      Leave this parameter empty if your server does not require
      authentication.

smtp_password
      Password to use for SASL authentication to the SMTP server. This
      parameter will be ignored if the "smtp_username" parameter is
      left empty.

  • "Leave this parameter empty if your server does not require authentication." Is key, my SMTP does not require a password and I had erroneously set the username by following a git send-email tutorial. – Kevin Sep 20 '16 at 17:52

For me Resolved

For this error please do below setting for Microsft Exchage emaild to Using TLS ot SSL/ Follow below stops

For windows Users 
CPAN: install Net::SMTP::TLS
Linuix Users / 
cpan install Email::Send::SMTP::TLS

cp Mailer.pm Mailer.pm_Bkp
Make changes in below file 
vim /usr/share/bugzilla/Bugzilla/Mailer.pm 
use Email::Send;

Use this any one of sting below or above one to communicate SMTP TLS

use Email::Send::SMTP::TLS;

sub MessageToMTA {
my ($smtp_server, $smtp_port);
}

if ($method eq "SMTP" | | $method eq "SMTP::TLS") {
    ($smtp_server,$smtp_port) = split /:/,Bugzilla->params->{"smtpserver"};
        push @args, 
        Host  => $smtp_server,
                       user => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_username"},
                       password => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_password"},
                      Hello => $hostname,
                      Debug => Bugzilla->params->{'smtp_debug'};
      push @args, Port => $smtp_port if($smtp_port);
}
:wq
Save this file .

Run below command to verify error before check the url :

./checksetup.pl

Now check it it’s should work.
