Configure SMTP mail server connection

If you did not enter the SMTP server connection parameters during the setup process of a previous ARIS version you need to register your SMTP server manually.

  1. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC).
  2. Enter, for example:

    register external service smtp host="YourMailServerAddressWithDomain" port=25

  3. Check that setting entering:

    list external services

SMTP mail server configuration is set.

You can modify SMTP configuration parameters using the update external service command.
