Configuring an SMTP Account

By default, AgilePoint Server uses anonymous SMTP. To configure your SMTP server to require authentication, do the following.

Navigation

In a text editor, open the AgilePoint Server configuration file netflow.cfg from the following location:
```
[AgilePoint Server installation folder]\netflow.cfg
```

Instructions

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.
