Authenticated Direct Mailer Url content

Hi alls,
I am using the Direct Mailer to send e-newsletter campaigns. I specify a Url
which is on a staging server to build the Message body as HTML. Everything
works fine when the HTTP call is anonymous. But I would like to specify a
Url that is protected with NT/Athentication as an HTML body. I checked the
web Access logs on the requested server and the Direct Mailer does not pass
its windows credentials (i.e. Service User). Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Louis Fournier

| Hi Louis,
Have you made sure that the protected web page is secured? (i.e. does not
allow anonymous users to access the page).
If anonymous users are allowed to access the page. Direct Mailer won't send
its credentials (it'll use anonymous since it was not challenged for
credentials).
If the page is in fact secured (i.e. when you browse it using a regular
browser anonymously you should see a logon dialog box challenge), then the
issue might be in the page itself.
To debug the issue further, you might want to put some very simple code in
the web page that renders the email (something like "I am user:" <insert
system variable of logon user here> ) to see if the page runs at all.
Thanks, Caesar.

| I looked into this issue a little bit. The ComposeDMLMessage component is
the component responsible for using the CDO object model to contact the Web
server and generate the mail message from the returned HTML. CDO does
support providing a username/password for NTLM or Basic authentication, but
the DirectMailer always passes an empty string for both of these
parameters. The only way to achieve this would be to replace
ComposeDMLMessage in the dmlpipe.pcf pipeline with your own component and
provide the username/password.
This is the method DirectMailer uses on the CDO IMessage interface:
[C++]
HRESULT CreateMHTMLBody(
BSTR URL,
CdoMHTMLFlags Flags=cdoSuppressNone,
BSTR UserName,
BSTR Password
);
-djm
