NOTE:
•
When the SMTP authentication setting is enabled on the Device Manager server and there are multiple
SMTP authentication methods that the SMTP server specifies, the Device Manager server selects an
authentication method (LOGIN or PLAIN in that priority order), and then sends an email. If LOGIN or
PLAIN is not specified, the Device Manager server will send an email without using the SMTP
authentication.
•
If SMTP authentication is disabled on the SMTP server, even if the setting is enabled on the Device
Manager server, the Device Manager server will send an email without using SMTP authentication.
3. If you want to use SMTP authentication for the SMTP server, set the SMTP authentication user
information.
To set SMTP authentication user information, execute the SMTP authentication user
information setting command. Even if SMTP authentication is enabled in the Device Manager
server, if SMTP authentication user information is not registered, the Device Manager server
will send emails without using SMTP authentication.
For details about how to set up SMTP authentication users, see section
6-4-3-1 .
4. If necessary, edit the template file of the email used by the email notification function.
For details about how to do this, see section
6-4-3-2 .
5. Start the Device Manager server service.
For details about how to do this, see section

6-4-3-1 Settings for an SMTP authentication user
To use the email notification function, you need to connect to the SMTP server. To use SMTP
authentication for the SMTP server, you need to set the SMTP authentication user information on
the Device Manager server.
To register or modify the SMTP authentication user information on the Device Manager server,
execute the hdvmmodmailuser command. The settings will go into effect when you start the
Device Manager server service after executing this command.
You can set only one piece of SMTP authentication user information on the Device Manager server.
The set SMTP authentication user information will be updated each time you execute the command.
If the currently set SMTP authentication user information is unknown, retry the command to set
SMTP authentication user information.
NOTE:
•
Even if the SMTP authentication setting is enabled on the Device Manager server, the Device Manager
server sends an email without using SMTP authentication if the connection target SMTP server has not
enabled the SMTP authentication setting.
•
You cannot delete the SMTP authentication user information that you set on the Device Manager server.
