Once you have configured SMTP email as described below, Crowd can send email notifications to users at specific events, such as when a user's password is reset or a server event occurs.
To configure SMTP email,
- Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Administration' tab in the top navigation bar.
- Click 'Mail Server' in the left-hand menu.
- 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, then click the 'Update' button:
- 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 in to your mail server.
- Password — The password that your Crowd server will use when it logs in to your mail server.
