Monitoring Server Events and Devices : Configuring Alert Event Notifications : Authenticating a Server

Authenticating a Server

You can use the Alerts Notification Configuration screen to authenticate the SMTP server, providing an extra level of security. The authentication check box enables the User name and Password fields when selected by default. Clearing the check box disables these fields.

Perform the following steps to enter or edit the address:

1.

On the Alerts Notification Configuration screen, click the Mail Server tab.

The Mail Server options appears, as shown in Figure 29. The authentication check box is selected by default.

2.

Enter a user name in the User name field. (Optional - in case Authentification is disabled.)

3.

Enter the password in the Password field. (Optional - in case Authentification is disabled.)

4.

Click OK.
