Enable Email in EASA

Allow an EASA Server to send email messages, by specifying SMTP server parameters.

Go to:

  • EASA→Set Mode→Administrator→Configure→Email

Set:

  • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - Name of SMTP server for EASA to use to send e-mail messages.
  • Port Number (Optional) - Set the port number used by the SMTP server connection, default→25.
  • User Name (Optional) - User Name used to authenticate on the SMTP server, if needed.
  • Password (Optional) - Password used to authenticate on the SMTP server, if needed.
  • Encryption (Optional) - Select encryption method, if not default of None.

Check these settings with a test email message from this page.

These settings will be stored in the file:

  • <SERVERDATA>\easa-share\naming\mail\server.xml

Exchange SMTP Server Caveat

Exchange must allow anonymous access to be used as the outgoing SMTP server.

Exchange may be configured for either:

  1. TLS authentication
  2. No authentication

For each case the server.xml configuration file needs be manually modified, and not reconfigured within EASA.

Any visit to EASA→Set Mode→Administrator→Configure→Email will overwrite this manual change.

Thus an Administrator must not select 'send test email' but instead should Author a simple EASAP with an EMAIL ACTION.

Below are the server.xml files for each case.

  1. Change EXCHANGE-SMTP-SERVER to the actual SMTP hostname.
  2. Copy the file to:
    • <SERVERDATA>\easa-share\naming\mail\server.xml
  3. Restart the EASA/Tomcat service
