Configuring the SMTP messaging connector settings

Use the IMS Configuration Utility to edit the basic and advanced SMTP messaging connector settings. The basic settings include the message connector name, address attribute name, SMTP server URI, SMTP from address, and SMTP from friendly name. The advanced settings include the SMTP port number, SMTP user name, SMTP password, and enterprise directory address attribute.

1. Log on to the IMS Configuration Utility.
   
2. Navigate to Advanced Settings > Message connectors.
3. In Add Configuration Group, select SMTP Messaging Connector from the drop-down list.
4. Click Configure.
5. Under Basic configuration keys, complete the following fields:

   Option	Description
   Message connector name	Enter the display name of the Web-based SMS connector.
   Address attribute name	Enter a name to describe the address attribute.
   SMTP server URI	Enter the URI of the SMTP Server (for example, mail.mycompany.com).
   SMTP from address	Enter the address from which electronic mails are sent.
   SMTP from friendly name	Enter a friendly name used in place of the email address.

6. Under Advanced configuration keys, complete the following fields:

   Option	Description
   SMTP port number	Enter an SMTP server port number.
   SMTP user name	Enter the user name which is used for SMTP authentication.
   SMTP user password	Enter the password used for SMTP authentication.
   Fetch the address attribute from Enterprise Directory	Specify whether the address attribute used by this messaging connector is fetched from the Enterprise Directory. If set to false, the address attribute (specified by Address Attribute Name) is fetched from the IMS Server database. If set to true, performance is degraded as each MAC issuance calls the Enterprise Directory. To support fetching of multi-valued attributes (for example, memberOf), the ADSI connector is used for configuring the Enterprise Directory.
   Enterprise directory address attribute	Specify the name of the attribute to look up from the Enterprise Directory (AD or LDAP server). Set this attribute only if Fetch the address attribute from Enterprise Directory is set to true. If this attribute specifies a phone number, it is in the format "CountryCode-AreaCode-PhoneNumber", for example, 1-650-4136800, 65-64735110.
