GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 129685
Cannot Use Secure Password Authentication (SPA)
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
MS Windows news servers can be configured to require a secure password authentication (SPA). (I teach for the University of Phoenix which requires SPA.) I cannot find any way to enable SPA in PAN. SPA capability should be added to PAN.
Donald: I suspect this is a duplicate of bug #105050 (also raised against a newsserver run by the University of Phoenix). Just to be sure, could you run the following: $ telnet <newsserver_hostname> nntp AUTHINFO GENERIC QUIT and attach the output to this bugreport: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/createattachment.cgi?id=129685 Thanks.

Yep. Same behaviour. Closing as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105050 ***
