Title: Getting stream_socket_enable_crypto() errors Last modified: February 15, 2017 --- # Getting stream_socket_enable_crypto() errors * [oxygensmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oxygensmith/) * (@oxygensmith) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-stream_socket_enable_crypto-errors/) * I’m getting stream_socket_enable_crypto() errors when submitting forms I’ve created with the Gravity Forms plugin. The site uses Google Apps for Work for email, and connects to these services with Gmail SMTP. I am not getting any warnings in the Gmail SMTP configuration area. * While I also have written Gravity Forms about this issue, I thought that you might have insight as to why I am getting stream_socket_enable_crypto() errors, since the errors seem to be taking place in the Gmail SMTP files. * This is the error I’m getting at the provided link, when I submit the form: [https://muskeglake.com/membersarea/addresschange](https://muskeglake.com/membersarea/addresschange). The form sends notification email. * stream_socket_enable_crypto(): Peer certificate CN=`hosting.uber-cloud.com' did not match expected CN=`smtp.gmail.com’ in /home/muskegla/public_html/wp-content/ plugins/gmail-smtp/PHPMailer/class.smtp.php on line 369 * Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): Peer certificate CN=`hosting.uber-cloud. com' did not match expected CN=`smtp.gmail.com’ in /home/muskegla/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/gmail-smtp/PHPMailer/class.smtp.php on line 369 * I’m also getting the error at a second form, [https://muskeglake.com/contact](https://muskeglake.com/contact), when it is submitted. This form also sends notification email from a Google Apps address. * Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): Peer certificate CN=`hosting.uber-cloud. com' did not match expected CN=`smtp.gmail.com’ in /home/muskegla/public_html/ wp-content/plugins/gmail-smtp/PHPMailer/class.smtp.php on line 369 * If you can shed any light on this, that would be awesome. * I have double checked the server’s MX records and they are definitely using Remote Mail Exchanger and have Gmail’s MX records set up correctly. The Gmail SMTP plugin has also been updated to the latest (version 1.1.1). * Thanks for whatever help you can provide!

But the email still goes through. I think there are other issues here as the log states * Auth method requested: XOAUTH2 Auth methods available on the server: PLAIN,LOGIN( XOAUTH2 method unavailable) * Can you send me the content of the “Server Info” tab?

We’re still getting this error. What might the“ other issues” be? How could I avoid getting the plugin, or the server, to not use XOAUTH2 for the validation?
