2.2 Designating an E-Mail Server in Identity Console

  1. On the Identity Console home page, click Email Server Configuration.

  2. On the Email Server Options page, specify the values for your email notification server.

    • Host Name: Specify the hostname or IP address of your SMTP server along with the port number. Use colon (:) to separate the hostname or IP address and port.

      For example, smtp.example.com:587

    • From: Specify the sender's email address. The email server performs reverse lookups or authentication using this value.

    • Time Out Value: The timeout option allows you to set the time limit (in seconds) to send notification emails.

    • Enable SSL: Select to enable SSL, if required.

  3. If your server requires basic authentication before sending emails, select Authenticate to the server by using credentials and provide your username and password.

    Although the authentication information is specified here, you might also need to specify it separately for the application that is sending the notification e-mails.

    For example, Forgotten Password e-mail notifications can be sent by using the authentication information you specify here. However, notification e-mails for Identity Manager Password Synchronization require the authentication information to be provided in the driver policy that is used to send notification e-mails.

  4. Click Save.
