4.3 Configuring E-Mail Notifications

You can configure an SMTP e-mail server on your network to send e-mail notifications when tasks have been completed or when a task is requested. The PIV Life Cycle driver installs IAS-specific e-mail templates into the Identity Vault’s Default Notification Collection. These templates are associated with the IAS workflow tasks, and notifications are sent automatically to specific workflow roles based on IAS policy.

To enable e-mail notifications, you must configure the e-mail server.

  1. Start iManager.

  2. From the Roles and Tasks menu, select Passwords > E-mail Server Options.

  3. In the Host Server field, type the name or IP address of the SMTP e-mail server.

  4. In the From field, type the e-mail address for the sender.

    When the recipient opens the e-mail, this text is displayed in the From field of the e-mail header.

  5. If your server requires authentication before sending e-mail, select the Authenticate to server using credentials check box and specify the username and password.

  6. Click OK.
