Issue

When attempting to export reports to e-mail, the following error message display:

“Authentication failed. Webtrends server error ID: 116”

This indicates the SMTP selected in the scheduled export job is rejecting the request to email the exported report.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

  • Use a non-authenticating SMTP relay server
  • Request the administrator of the SMTP server allow relays from the IP of the Webtrends server
  • Configure the Webtrends service account to log into the SMTP server (this requires the Webtrends – Scheduler Agent service be logged in using the service account)
Refer to Knowledge Base article 052070 for information on how to configure the Webtrends – Scheduler Agent service to use the service account.
