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

Authenticating a Server

You can use the Configure Alerts window to authenticate the SMTP server, providing an extra level of security. The This server requires 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 Configure Alerts window, click the Mail Server tab.

The Mail Server options appear, as Configure Alerts – Mail Server Options shows. The This server requires authentication check box is selected by default.

2.

Enter a user name in the User name field. (Optional, in case authentication is disabled.)

3.

Enter the password in the Password field. (Optional, in case authentication is disabled.)

4.

Click OK.
