Configuring an SMTP Account

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

Navigation

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
