HP Insight Orchestration 6.3 User Guide

Specifying SMTP credentials and system properties
Operations Orchestration Studio requires an SMTP server. Insight Orchestration uses Operations
Orchestration during the execution of Insight Orchestration requests notifying users about the
progress of Insight Orchestration processes including approval, manual operating system
deployment, manual storage provisioning, disk scrubbing, storage removal and notifications. To
send these notifications, you must configure the Operations Orchestration workflows to send email.
NOTE: Before Insight Orchestration can send an email notification, you must install and configure
an SMTP server either on the CMS where Insight Orchestration and Operations Orchestration are
installed, or on a server that is accessible to the CMS.
SMTP credentials specified during Insight Software installation are added to the
HpioSmtpCredentials property. If these credentials are not supplied, the username field
contains the string “username” and the password field is empty.
If the SMTP server requires authentication, the username and password in HpioSmtpCredentials
are used. If the SMTP server does not require authentication, the username and password are
ignored. The SMTP username is required (it cannot be empty), even if the SMTP server does not
require authentication.
In Operations Orchestration on the CMS, set the following Operations Orchestration system
properties with the appropriate SMTP values:
NotesExample ValueName
If SMTP is on another server, replace 127.0.0.1 with the
server's IP address
127.0.0.1HpioSmtpHost
If the SMTP port is different than 25, replace 25 with
SMTP's port
25HpioSmtpPort
By default, the SMTP credentials supplied during installation
are used. If these values are not supplied, the username
Administrator/passwordHpioSmtpCredentials
field contains the string “username” and the password field
is empty.
If SMTP credentials were not specified during Insight Software installation, enter them in OO Studio.
Select the System Accounts folder and select HpioSmtpCredentials. Click the lock icon to
check out the account for editing. Enter a username and an optional password for the SMTP server
account. Click the lock icon a second time to check in the change.
