Setting Email Server Preferences

1. Log into the KeyControl webGUI on any node in the cluster using an account with Security Admin privileges.
2. In the top menu bar, click Settings.
3. In the Default Settings section, click Mail Server.

4. On the Mail tab in the Default Settings dialog box, enter the email server options you want to use.

   Option	Description
   Disable E-mail Notifications check box	If checked, no alert emails are sent to the user accounts in the system. If the Admin Key is regenerated, all security admins must manually download their key parts from the Settings tab. If this option is not selected, KeyControl only sends alerts and new Admin Key parts through email. Security Admins can still download their Admin Key parts from the webGUI. For details about the Admin Key, see Admin Keys.
   Server	The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SMTP server. If your domain has an MX record configured, you can use KeyControl to relay mail by setting the IP address to 127.0.0.1. This is the default behavior.
   Port	The mail server port.
   Login	If required, the user account with which KeyControl should log into the email server.
   Password	The password for the login account.
   Sender	The sender that KeyControl should use when sending email.
   SMTPS	If this option is set to On, KeyControl uses SMTP Secure (SMTPS).

5. To test the email settings, click Send Test Email.
