If SMTP email has been configured, Crowd can send email notifications to users during special events, such as when a user's password is reset or a server event occurs.
To configure SMTP email,
- Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Options' link in the top navigation bar.
- Click the 'Mail Server' tab.
- Enter the details of your mail server, and the username and password (if required) that Crowd will use to log in to your mail server:
- Notification Email — The email address which will receive notifications about server events.
- SMTP Host — The hostname of the SMTP mail server, e.g. 'localhost' or 'smtp.acme.com'
- From — The email address from which password notifications will be sent to users.
- Subject Prefix — The prefix which will appear at the start of the email subject, for all emails generated by Crowd. This can be useful for email client programs that offer filtering rules.
- Username — The username that your Crowd server will use when it logs into your mail server.
- Password — The password that your Crowd server will use when it logs into your mail server.
Then Click the 'Update' button.
