Accessing SLBL without explicit authentication

paul.fr

Level 1

Hello together,

 

SMA allows end user access to spam quarantine to view (EUQ) and manage spam/ham classification (SLBL). With "Enable login without credentials for quarantine access" the access is granted via link: "Via a link in a notification, authentication not required". This works fine! (LDAP is enabled to for direct web access). Users receive the notification mail, click on the link and are directly in their quarantine.

 

For End-User Spam Quarantine Access

Do This

Directly via web browser, authentication required

and

Via a link in a notification, authentication not required

  1. In the End User Quarantine Access settings, choose LDAP, SAML 2.0, or Mailbox (IMAP/POP).
  2. In the Spam Notifications settings, select Enable login without credentials for quarantine access.

So far so good. Next, when users will classify the messages as spam or ham (add to safe- or blocklist), they access Safelist/Blocklist feature. It is enabled. Even if the users are already in spam quarantine, they are prompted for credentials. As per help it shouldn't be: "End users access their safelist and blocklist via the spam quarantine".  They are already accessing spam quarantine via link notification.

Can you confirm that? Guide isn't very clear in this point.

That leads into problem for shared mailboxes / disabled accounts which are not able for explicit authentication and SLBL feature.

The mentioned issue appears to match the below enhancement request

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvy61238

 

When clicking on the URL from the notification, authentication is carried on the URL. However, this is not carried forward currently when the user navigates to their SLBL.

You can add yourself to the enhancement to be notified when its available for use. You can also reach out to your Accounts team to further prioratize this enhancement.
