The Apply button accepts your edits. The Test button tries your edits. The Cancel button
abandons your edits and returns to the OMNM application. The SMTP Configuration window
contains the following fields and options.
Field/Option Description
SMTP Server Host The IP address or hostname of your SMTP server.
SMTP Server Port The port for your SMTP server. (Common ports are 25, 465, 587)
Authentication
Enabled
Check this to enable authentication for this server. Checking enables the next
two fields.
User Name The login ID for the SMTP server, if authentication is enabled.
Password The password for the SMTP server, if authentication is enabled.
Security Enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to interact with your SMTP server,
or Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Return Address The return address for mail sent from OpenManage Network Manager.
Default Subject Text that appears by default in the subject line of mail sent by OpenManage
Network Manager.
Connection/Send
Timeout
The time-outs for mail sent by OpenManage Network Manager. If your SMTP
server or network is slow, increase the default timeout.
Note: These time-outs are in milliseconds, and have been critical in getting e-
mail to work, so do make them long enough to handle whatever latency is normal
for your network.
Max Per Minute The maximum number of e-mails OpenManage Network Manager can send per
minute.
Two settings for e-mail servers appear in Control Panel, one in the Control Panel
> Portal > Settings Mail Host Names edit screen, and another in Control Panel
> Server Administration > Mail. These are for Liferay login and password
reminders/resets (see Resetting a Password on page 103). The Portal-based e-mail
settings help Administrators limit signups to e-mails only existing in their
organization. The screen in that panel provides a list of allowed domain names, if
that feature is enabled.
Control Panel > Server Administration > Mail is where to configure the Main
server and authentication for routing mail.
Note: If you require a sender/reply to e-mail address on mail sent, configure that
with the following property in the owareapps/installprops/lib/installed.properties
file:
redcell.smtp.returnaddress.name
