SMTP
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. This protocol facilitates the flow of emails over the internet. You can configure CipherTrust Manager to automatically send email notifications for record-based alarms to a set of email addresses, by configuring an SMTP server.
Note
Built-in alarms such as Disk Full do not send email notifications.
Adding a New SMTP Server
To add a new SMTP server:
Log on to the CipherTrust Manager console as administrator.
Click Admin Settings.
Go to the Notifications > SMTP section.
Click New SMTP Server. The Configure a SMTP Server dialog box is displayed.
Specify the following details:
Hostname or IP Address: Specify the hostname or IP address of the SMTP server.
Note
If using a Hostname, make sure that it is added to the CipherTrust Manager. To read more, go to Configuring DNS Hosts .
Port: Specify the port of the SMTP server.
Username: Specify the Username for the SMTP server.
Sender's Email: Specify the email address from where the email is to be sent.
Password: Specify the Password for the SMTP server's Username.
Click Save. The SMTP server is configured. The server details will appear in the SMTP Server Settings section.
Note
You can configure only one SMTP server at a time. If you add a new SMTP server, the new server will replace the older SMTP server configuration.
Tip
After configuring the SMTP server, click Test SMTP Connection to test the connection with the SMTP server. If the server is configured correctly, the Sender's email address will receive a test email.
