[stunnel-users] Stunnel & Gmail security

[BOXI31 TEST]

Hi all,

To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings
of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account".

Is it mandatory ?

Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security
level ?
How ?
I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider
it as a "less secure app." !

Regards,

Steve

As far as I understand:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
this confusing error message is a Google's FUD to discourage using third
party email clients that employ password authentication over TLS. I
don't think it has anything to do with the negotiated TLS ciphersuite.
It is hard to be sure, because the Google's error description contains
no technical details.

Best regards,
Mike
