Configuring SMTP settings for email messages

In IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor, you can create a rule to send an email based upon a system event. To send an email, you must first configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) settings during the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor installation. After installation, configure or re-configure email settings with the configCC utility. From IBM Sterling Control Center v6.2 onwards, you must provide a valid working EMail(SMTP) server connection details to create new Control Center Users.

To configure email settings after installation, run the configCC utility. To configure email setting from IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor Web Console, go to Menu Button () > System Settings > Email Server.

Attention: If you want to use a null user ID and password, enter a period (.) when prompted by the configCC utility.
