Once you have configured SMTP email as described below, Crowd can send email notifications to users at specific events, such as when a user's password is reset or a server event occurs.

To configure SMTP email,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Administration' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click 'Mail Server' in the left-hand menu.
  4. Enter the details of your mail server, and the username and password (if required) that Crowd will use to log in to your mail server, then click the 'Update' button:
  • Notification Email — The email address which will receive notifications about server events.
  • SMTP Host — The hostname of the SMTP mail server, e.g. 'localhost' or 'smtp.acme.com'.
  • From — The email address from which password notifications will be sent to users.
  • Subject Prefix — The prefix which will appear at the start of the email subject, for all emails generated by Crowd. This can be useful for email client programs that offer filtering rules.
  • Username — The username that your Crowd server will use when it logs in to your mail server.
  • Password — The password that your Crowd server will use when it logs in to your mail server.
To customise the password notification message, please see Creating an Email Notification Template.
