Configuring KnowledgeTree > Enabling Email Notification
This procedure edits the [email] setting in the KnowledgeTree config.ini file in order to enable email notification on the KnowledgeTree server.
Note: The Mail Server Dashboard dashlet informs you when email notification is disabled.
Perform the following steps:
| 1. | Open KnowledgeTree's config.ini file, located in the KnowledgeTree folder. |
| 2. | Locate the following settings in the [email] section in the config.ini file. |
Default Email Settings in config.ini
[email]
emailServer = none
emailPort = default
emailAuthentication = false
emailUsername = username
emailPassword = password
emailFrom = kt@example.org
emailFromName = KnowledgeTree Document Management System
|
| 3. | Change the default emailServer setting (none) to the IP address of your email proxy server, or to name of your server. |
| 4. | Does your email server need to authenticate via SMTP? |
| • | Yes. Change emailAuthentication to true; then, define your username and password in the following fields respectively: emailUsername, emailPassword. Go to step 5. |
| 5. | At the emailFrom setting, define a valid email address for the KnowledgeTree server - this is the address from which users will receive email notifications. |
| 6. | At the emailFromName setting, define a name to use as the entity from which KnowledgeTree users receive email notifications; or, use the default: KnowledgeTree Document Management System. |
| 7. | Save your changes; then, close the file. |
Notes: Email notification is now enabled on the KnowledgeTree Server, and the Mail
Server Status dashlet no longer displays on the Dashboard.
