○ server.mail.enabled(see subsection 8-2-32 )
○ server.mail.from (see subsection 8-2-33 )
○ server.mail.smtp.host (see subsection 8-2-34 )
○ server.mail.smtp.port (see subsection 8-2-35 )
○ server.mail.smtp.auth (see subsection 8-2-36 )

NOTE: When the SMTP authentication setting is enabled on the Device Manager server and
there are multiple SMTP authentication methods that the SMTP server specifies, the Device
Manager server selects an authentication method (LOGIN or PLAIN in that priority order), and
then sends an email. If LOGIN or PLAIN is not specified, the Device Manager server will send an
email without using the SMTP authentication.
NOTE: If the SMTP authentication setting is disabled on the SMTP server, even if the setting is
enabled on the Device Manager server, the Device Manager server will send an email without
using the SMTP authentication.
3. If you want to use SMTP authentication for the SMTP server, set the SMTP authentication user
information.
To set SMTP authentication user information, execute the SMTP authentication user
information setting command. Even if SMTP authentication is enabled in the Device Manager
server, if SMTP authentication user information is not registered, the Device Manager server
will send emails without using SMTP authentication.
For details about the SMTP authentication user information setting command, see subsection
10-3-4 .
4. If necessary, edit the template file of the email used by the email notification function.
For details about the template file used by the email notification function, see subsection
10-3-
5 .
5. Start the Device Manager server service.
For details about how to start the Device Manager server service, see section
3-6 for
Windows, or section
4-4 for Linux.
10-3-4 SMTP authentication user information setting
command
To use the email notification function, you need to connect to the SMTP server. To use SMTP
authentication for the SMTP server, you need to set the SMTP authentication user information on
the Device Manager server.
To register or modify the SMTP authentication user information on the Device Manager server,
execute the hdvmmodmailuser command. The set information will be applied when you start the
Device Manager server service after executing this command.
You can set only one piece of SMTP authentication user information on the Device Manager server.
The set SMTP authentication user information will be updated each time you execute the command.
If the currently set SMTP authentication user information is unknown, re-execute the command to
set SMTP authentication user information.
NOTE: Even if the SMTP authentication setting is enabled on the Device Manager server, the
Device Manager server sends an email without using SMTP authentication if the connection target
SMTP server has not enabled the SMTP authentication setting.
NOTE: You cannot delete the SMTP authentication user information that you set on the Device
Manager server.
