SMTP server

On this tab, you can define SMTP server settings used by RoboServers and Management Console to send email notifications, such as password change or robot fail notifications.

The SMTP server is configured using the following properties.

Property

Description

Host

SMTP server host name.

Port

SMTP server port.

User name

If the SMTP server requires authentication, enter the user name.

Password

If the SMTP server requires authentication, enter the password.

Encryption

  • NONE: Credentials and email are sent in clear text.

  • TLS: TLS encryption is used. This option only works if the SMTP server has a trusted certificate (if the server has a self-signed certificate, it must be exported and imported into the JVM's truststore using the keytool utility). Uses the STARTTLS SMTP extension.

  • SMTPS: SMTP over SSL. A secure channel of communication is established, over which an email is sent. This is rarely supported by SMTP servers, but works even if the server uses a self-signed certificate.

From address Email address to send notifications from.
