Configuring a Mail Server for MashZone NextGen

Update the User Email Attribute from LDAP

MashZone NextGen sends notifications to users for many day-to-day events, such as comments that other users may have added to the apps, mashables or mashups that a user created, artifacts other users have shared with a user or notices when an app is accepted and is now published in the AppDepot. These notifications are visible in MashZone NextGen Hub from the home page.

You can also configure MashZone NextGen to send notifications as email messages.

To support email notifications

1. Configure an email server in MashZone NextGen. See Configuring a Mail Server for MashZone NextGen for instructions.

2. Optionally define the host and port to use for MashZone NextGen in links within email notices. See Configure the MashZone NextGen server with custom ports for more information.

3. Turn on email notifications in the Admin Console:

a. Click

Admin Console in the MashZone NextGen Hub main menu.

b. If needed, expand the Server section and click Mail Notifications.

c. Set the Turn ON Notifications option and click Save mail notification settings.

4. If you are using your LDAP Directory as the MashZone NextGen User Repository, MashZone NextGen expects to find the email address for a user in the mail attribute in LDAP user entries. If your LDAP Directory stores email addresses in a different LDAP user attribute, you must configure MashZone NextGen to look for the correct LDAP user attribute. See Update the User Email Attribute from LDAP for instructions.
