When you provide your Gmail user ID and password, first instance you may get below error in HCI
Fault:534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at
534 5.7.9
AuthenticationFailedException:534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required
Point to be noted here is Gmail does not accept any direct connectivity from HCI, it expects 2 way connectivity as below.
Enable 2-step verification and set a App password for HCI.
