Set Up an Email Notification Account

Email notifications can be sent automatically to users.

1. In the ADMS console, select Tools > Administration.

2. In the Global Settings dialog, select the Advanced Settings tab, and select Email.

3. In the Email Configuration dialog, select the Enable email notification check box.

4. Select an email service provider for email notifications.

5. Set up SMTP (simple-mail-transfer-protocol) configuration.

   • Enter the username and password for the SMTP account.

   • Enter the Domain name for your account.

     Note: If you select "Other" as the email service provider, you need to enter a domain name for that account. Without a domain name, the email system wouldn't know where to send the messages because there would be no identifiable destination for incoming mails.

   • Enter the SMTP server address. If you do not know the machine name of the SMTP server, contact your system administrator.

     Note: The SMTP server on your network must also be configured to send e-mail from the address specified.

   • Enter the port number through which the SMTP server operates.

   • Select the Use an encrypted (ssl) connection check box to enhance the security, privacy, and reliability of your email communications.

6. Set the interval (between-1-1440-minutes) to trigger email notifications.

   By default, the email notification interval is set to 10 minutes. This means there will be a delay of 10 minutes between when the event occurs and when the email is sent out.

7. Click Send Test Email to send a test message to verify the email notification settings.
