You can configure the Jazz™ server
to send e-mail notifications to work item owners and subscribers to
inform them of changes. This capability is disabled by default.
About this task
To configure the
server to send e-mail notifications:
Procedure
- Log
on as a user with JazzAdmins repository
permissions.
- Click Admin,
and then click Jazz
Server Administration.
- On the Configuration
page, complete the following fields:
- In
the Enable Mail Notification field,
select true from the list.
This
property is the global switch for enabling and disabling e-mail notifications.
- In the SMTP Server field,
type
the name of the SMTP mail server for outgoing mail, as in smtp.yourcompany.com.
- In the SMTP Server Port field,
type the port to use for the SMTP server.
Typically,
25 is the default port number.
- In
the SMTP Username field, type
the user name that the Jazz server
uses to authenticate with the SMTP server.
If no credentials
are needed, you can leave the user name and password blank.
- In the SMTP Password field,
type
the password for SMTP authentication.
- Optional: To restrict e-mail notifications to a specified
list of users:
- In the Restrict
to Whitelist field,
select true from the list.
By
setting this property to true, you can restrict the e-mail addresses
that are allowed to receive notifications. The actual list of allowed
e-mail addresses is specified using the Whitelist property.
Enabling this property without defining a whitelist will result in
no e-mails being sent.
- In the Whitelist field,
type
the e-mail addresses that can receive notifications.
You
can use wildcard characters to specify patterns in which an asterisk
(*) matches any number of characters and a question mark (?) matches
a single character. For example, *@??.ibm.com matches user1@ca.ibm.com
and user2@de.ibm.com, but does not match user1@usa.ibm.com.
- Provide a current value for
the following fields:
- In the Mail
From Address field,
type the sender e-mail address for e-mail notifications, as in, 'jazz-user@ibm.com'.
- In the Mail From Name field,
type the sender user name for e-mail notifications.
- In the SMTP Reply Address field,
type the 'Reply To:' e-mail address that receives e-mail notifications,
as in 'jazz-user@ibm.com'.
- In the STARTTLS field,
select true from
the list to issue a STARTTLS command before authentication.
Setting
this value to true, initiates a secure SMTP connection between the Jazz server and the SMTP server.
- Click Save.
