Getting javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException in Tomcat7

The program attempts to send e-mail but throws a run time exception:AuthenticationFailedException.I have used smtp protocol for sending the mail.I have used TLS.Below is my Mailsender class named SendMail.java

  package com.xxx.dashboard.mail;

  import java.util.Map;
  import java.util.Properties;
  import javax.mail.Message;
  import javax.mail.MessagingException;
  import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;
  import javax.mail.Session;
  import javax.mail.Transport;
  import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
  import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
  import com.edifixio.dashboard.configuration.ConfigurationBundle;

  public class SendMail {

  public static void sendMail(String toAddresses, String subject, String url, String name, String email){

    Map<String, String> mapdata = ConfigurationBundle.getMapdata();
    final String emailId = mapdata.get("mail_id");
    final String username = mapdata.get("mail_username");
    final String password = mapdata.get("mail_password");
    final String smtpHost = mapdata.get("mail_smtp_host");
    final String smtpPort = mapdata.get("mail_smtp_port");

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", true);
    props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", true);
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
    props.put("mail.smtp.port", smtpPort);


    Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
            new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
                                protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {

                                  return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
                           }
                    });

       try {
              Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
              message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(emailId));
              message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse(toAddresses));
              message.setSubject(subject);

              String text =  "<b>Hello "+name+",</b><br/><br/> Thank you for registering with WARM for monitoring of your URL."
                    + "<br/>In order to activate your account please <a href="+url+"><b>Click Here</b></a><br/><br/>"
                            + "Once you have activated your WARM account you can login to the WARM Dashboard using your Username "
                            + "<a href=\"mailto:"+email+"\">"+email+"</a>.<br/>If you are having problems with the given link, "
                                    + "please reply back to the following Email address: <a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>.</br>This is a system generated mail. Please do not reply to this mail.<br/><br/>Thanks and Regards<br/>WARM Admin.";

              message.setContent(text,"text/html");
              Transport.send(message);
       } catch (MessagingException e) {
              throw new RuntimeException(e);
       }
 }

public static void main(String args[]) {
    sendMail("[email protected]", "Hello", "h", "Rakesh", "[email protected]");
    System.out.println("Successfully send mail to - "+toAddresses); 
  }
}

When I am choosing Run as Java Application from Eclipse I am getting the following error log

       Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 534-5.7.9 Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more at 534 5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 qk9sm15826619pac.16 - gsmtp

  1. Log in to the gmail account specified in your properties file
  2. Click on the circle on your top right corner -> manage your google account -> security -> Less secure app access . Turn it on
  3. Go to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
  4. Click on continue and logout of the gmail.
  5. Test your service. Now it will establish a connection to send mails

I had this issue as well, I had to go into my gmail account settings and under Security Enable "Access for less secure apps" to fix it.

Your code sent mail without any exceptions in eclipse on Debian OS. Are you running any firewall or anti-virus software that might be interfering with the connection attempt?
