Mail Server Configuration
Before being able to perform any email scheduling, configuration of the Mail Server (SMTP) is needed.
When logged in as superadmin, select Administration in the Home menu. Then, select Mail Server. The following window is opened:
Here, enter the mail server host name, the port of the mail server, whether or not to use authentication (if used, enter User Name and Password), server type, “From” address, “From” name, whether or not to use Start TLS or SSL. You can also test the email configuration here. When done, click Save to save the configuration.
These settings can also be configured in the following file: <install directory>/system/pentaho-solutions/system/smtp-email/email_config.xml.
The following parameters need to be configured:
• mail.smtp.host – Mailserver host name
• mail.smtp.port – Mailserver port
• mail.from.default – Default mail sender address
• mail.userid – User id used to connect to the mail server if authentication is needed.
• mail.password – The password used to connect to the mail server
