Configuring the E-mail Server

In order to publish report results to e-mail and to notify the task status via e-mails when scheduling tasks to run reports, create in-memory cubes or create CRDs, administrators need to configure an e-mail server for use in advance.

1. On the JReport Administration page, click Configuration on the system toolbar and then select E-mail Server from the drop-down menu to open the Configuration - E-mail Server page.

   

2. In the SMTP Server text box, enter the numeric or named host of the machine where the e-mail server is located.
3. In the SMTP Server Port text box, enter the port where the e-mail server runs.
4. If the SMTP server requires authentication, check the Server Requires Authentication checkbox, then specify the user name and password for logging in to the SMTP server.
5. If the SMTP server does not need a secure connection, keep the option No Need Secure Connection checked as it is. If it requires a secure connection, check the Server Requires a Secure Connection (SSL) or Server Requires a Secure Connection (TLS) according to the SMTP server configuration.
6. In the E-mail Address text box, type in the address of the e-mail sender. You must specify an address and make sure that the format of the specified address is valid.
7. From the Encoding drop-down list, select the encoding for the titles and comments of the e-mails.
8. Click Save to apply the settings.

The e-mail server settings are saved in the file mailconfig.properties in the <install_root>\bin directory. You can also use the file for default e-mail server configuration. The following table lists the available properties and the UI options they are mapped to.
