Setting Up Your Mail Server

After installing the Stratus Cloud Workload Services, you must configure the cloud software to connect to the mail server in your environment. In the directory /opt/jetty/resources, edit your CloudMgmtExt.properties file as follows.

To set up your email server:

1. Log on to the Stratus appliance as the cloud-user and execute the su command to become the root user (or be prepared to use sudo to run commands as root).

2. Open the /opt/jetty/resources/CloudMgmtExt.properties file with a text editor and modify the following settings:

   ## system mail properties ##

   # The system mail server host

   cloud.mgmt.mail.server.host=smtpmail.your_domain.com

   # The system mail server port (25 by default, generally 465 for SSL and 587 for TLS)

   cloud.mgmt.mail.server.port=25

   # The email address that receiver can see in the header FROM

   cloud.mgmt.mail.sender.address=user_name@your_domain.com

   # Set to true if secure password authentication (SPA) is required by email server

   cloud.mgmt.mail.secure.password.authentication.required=false

   # The encryption type of the email server connection (DEFAULT, SSL or TLS)

   cloud.mgmt.mail.encryption.type=DEFAULT

   # The mail account username, required if the cloud.mgmt.mail.secure.password.authentication.required set to true

   cloud.mgmt.mail.account.username=<change_on_setup>

   # The mail account password, required if the cloud.mgmt.mail.secure.password.authentication.required set to true

   cloud.mgmt.mail.account.password=<change_on_setup>

   ## password reset mail ##

   # The callback URL pattern that sent via the forgot password email. Change the host/ip if necessary

   cloud.mgmt.mail.password.reset.url=https://your_cloud_server.your_domain.com/cloud/#login:passwordreset?useridentifier={0}&passwordresetcode={1}

   ## password initialize mail ##

   # The callback URL pattern that sent via the initialize password email. Change the host/ip if necessary

   cloud.mgmt.mail.password.initialize.url=https://your_cloud_server.your_domain.com/cloud/#login:password?username={0}

3. Save and close the CloudMgmtExt.properties file.
4. Restart Jetty using the command service jetty restart.
