Enable e-mail

To use the e-mail workflow action configure Web Content Management to use your SMTP server.

1. Edit WCMConfigService.properties. File location:

   Windows: PROFILE_HOME/PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/

   UNIX: PROFILE_HOME/PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/

   i5/OS: PROFILE_HOME/PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/

2. Ensure the following settings are configured to use your SMTP server:

   • connect.connector.mailconnector.defaultsmtpserver=mail.yourmailserver.com

   • connect.connector.mailconnector.defaultfromaddress=admin@yourmailserver.com

   • connect.connector.mailconnector.defaultreplytoaddress=admin@yourmailserver.com

3. If you use a secured SMTP server, you will also need to specify a user name and password to access the SMTP server:

   • connect.connector.mailconnector.defaultusername=username

   • connect.connector.mailconnector.defaultpassword=password

4. Save WCMConfigService.properties.

5. Restart the portal for the new settings to take effect.
