The Rational® DOORS® client can send notification
emails of failed login attempts and updates to the status of change
proposals. For example, a notification email can be sent to a user
when one of their proposals is accepted or rejected. Emails that are
sent by Rational DOORS always include the database
name and the database URL.
Procedure
- On the General tab, in the SMTP
mail server field, type the name of the SMTP mail server
that you want the Rational DOORS client to use.
- Optional: In the mail account field,
type the mail account that you want the SMTP mail server to use. If the SMTP server has security controls that require a user
account in a valid format, type a mail account.
If you leave this
field blank, Rational DOORS uses the default mail account smtp@doors.
The default mail account does not exist and is not in a valid email
format. It is used by Rational DOORS because some SMTP servers
require user account authentication.
Email messages that are
sent by the Rational DOORS client display "change
proposal system for <projectname>" in
the From field.
- Optional: In the Prefix e-mails
with text field type alternative text to include in emails
that are sent by Rational DOORS. By default,
automatic emails have the prefix: The following is a
notification message from Rational DOORS - please do not reply as
it was sent from an unattended mailbox.
- Click OK.
