Configuring the E-mail Server
In order for users to publish report results to e-mail and to notify the task status via e-mails when scheduling tasks to run reports, create in-memory cubes, or create CRDs, administrators need to configure an e-mail server in advance. This topic describes how you can configure an e-mail server in the Server Console.
- In the Server Console, point to Administration on the system toolbar, and then select Configuration > E-mail Server from the drop-down menu. Server displays the E-mail Server page.
- In the SMTP Server text box, type the numeric or named host of the machine where the e-mail server is located.
- In the SMTP Server Port text box, type the port where the e-mail server runs.
- If the SMTP server requires authentication, select the Server Requires Authentication check box, then specify the user name and password for logging into the SMTP server.
- If the SMTP server does not need a secure connection, keep the option No Need Secure Connection selected. If it requires a secure connection, select Server Requires a Secure Connection (SSL) or
Server Requires a Secure Connection (STARTTLS) according to the SMTP server configuration. - In the E-mail Address text box, type the address of the e-mail sender. Make sure that the format of the specified address is valid.
- From the Encoding drop-down list, select the encoding for the titles and comments of the e-mails.
- Select Save to apply the settings.
Logi Report Server saves the e-mail server settings in the file mailconfig.properties in the <install_root>\bin directory. You can also use the file for default e-mail server configuration. The following table lists the available properties and the UI options they are mapped to.
