Sending Mail from Dynamic Port with Password Authentication

If you are sending an e-mail over the SMTP adapter using a dynamic send port and you want to use user/password authentication at the SMTP server, you have to do the following in the orchestration:

• Set all relevent SMTP properties
• Promote the SMTP properties in a correlation set - but not the Passwort property because this one is marked as "IsSensitive" and hence cannot be promoted.

This is due to security reaspons so that a BizTalk operator cannot see the password in any running instance.

If you promote the password anyway, you run into the following exception:

Shape name: MailSend
ShapeId: %GUID%
Exception thrown from: segment 1, progress 12
Inner exception: The value assigned to property 'SMTP.Password' is not valid: '%password%'.
Exception type: InvalidPropertyValueException
