Configuring the Mail Server

Configure the mail server to enable the ztC Edge system to send email when, for example, someone needs to reset a password.

To configure the mail server

1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
2. Under System, click Mail Server.

3. Click the Enable Mail Server box. Boxes for specifying or selecting the following settings appear:

   • SMTP Server (required)—Enter the name of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server that your company uses to send email.
   • Port Number (optional)—Enter the port number to use when sending e-Alerts. If no port number is specified, the default SMTP port 25 will be used. (For additional information on all ports, including the SMTP port, access the Knowledge Base to search for the article TCP and UDP ports used by ztC Edge (KB-9357). See Accessing Knowledge Base Articles.)

   • Sender's Email Address—Enable e-Alert delivery by specifying a valid sender's email address in either of the following cases:

     • You have not specified a DNS server on the ztC Edge system and your SMTP server is not configured to accept domain literals (From addresses in the form noreply@IP_address).
     • You want the e-Alert to provide a different sender's email address (for example, noreply@company.com).

     Any email address that the SMTP server accepts is sufficient.

   • Encrypted Connection—Select a value from the pull-down menu for the encryption protocol that the SMTP server requires:
     • None for no encryption. By default, port number 25 is used.
     • TLS for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. For TLS, Stratus recommends that you specify 587 for Port Number, though 25 is used by default.
     • SSL for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. For SSL, Stratus recommends that you specify 465 for Port Number, though 25 is used by default.

   • Enable Authentication—Click this box if the SMTP server requires authentication to send email. Then, type the Username and Password for the SMTP account.

     If you do not type a password, the previous password continues to be required. If the previous password was empty and you do not enter a new password, the password remains empty.

4. Click Save (or click Reset to restore the previously-saved values).
