CipherTrust Manager Administration

SMTP

search

Please Note:

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.

Note

CipherTrust Manager 2.3.0 supports both TLS and TCP based SMTP connection. Default is TLS.

Adding a New SMTP Server

To add a new SMTP server:

  1. Log on to the CipherTrust Manager console as administrator.

  2. Click Admin Settings.

  3. Go to the Notifications > SMTP section.

  4. Click New SMTP Server. The Configure a SMTP Server dialog box is displayed.

  5. 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.

    • Allow TCP: Select the check box to allow TCP connection with SMTP server. The default value is false.

      Note

      When both TLS and TCP (allow TCP is true) connections are available with SMTP server, then by default TLS connection will be used.

    • 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.

  6. 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 button to test the connection with the SMTP server. If the server is configured correctly, the Sender's email address will receive a test email.

    Note

    After updating the SMTP settings, wait for sometime (approx. 3-5 minutes) for the changes to be effective.

Adding/Deleting Emails in the Notification Address List

To view, add, or delete the email addresses that will receive the email notifications:

  1. Log on to the CipherTrust Manager console as administrator.

  2. Click Admin Settings.

  3. Go to the Notifications > SMTP section.

    The list of notification email address will be displayed under Email Notification Settings section.

    1. To add a new email address, click Add Email. Specify the desired email address and click Save.

    2. To delete an existing email address, click Delete.
