Configuring an SMTP Account

By default, AgilePoint Server uses anonymous SMTP. To configure your SMTP server to require authentication, do the procedure in this topic.

How to Start

On the AgilePoint Server machine, in a text editor, open the file netflow.cfg.

Procedure

In netflow.cfg in the notification node, enter the email address and password in the smtpService attribute as follows:

<notification
    mode="[true or false]"
    format="[text or html]"
    smtpService="[smtp service assembly name]:[smtp service 
        class name]:[email address],[password]"
    mailServer="[SMTP server host name]:[port number]:ssl"
    sender="[sender email address]"
    sysadm="[AgilePoint administrator email address. 
        If blank, the system uses the sender email address.]"
    encoding="[encoding format]"

Example:

<notification
    mode="true"
    format="text"
    smtpService="Builtin::username@sbcglobal.net,mypassword"
    mailServer="smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com"
    sender="apnotifier@mycompany.com"
    sysadm="adminuser@mycompany.com"
    encoding="utf-8"

Note: It is not required to add the user name/password to AgilePoint as a registered user.
