Configuring mail

Esta página aún no está disponible en tu idioma.

The application sometimes sends emails to users, for example when the users have been subscribed to a document or folder.

By default tomcat mail is configured assuming your server has a mail service binding in your localhost.

This is the default value in the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file.

<Resource auth="Container" name="mail/OpenKM" type="javax.mail.Session"
          mail.from="testing@openkm.com" mail.smtp.host="localhost" />

Change mail configuration

Get your mail account data ( same than you will use to configure standard mail client, like Outlook or Thunderbird ).

Edit the file $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml:

vim /home/openkm/tomcat/conf/server.xml

After editing the server.xml should looks something like this:

<Resource name="mail/OpenKM" type="javax.mail.Session"
    mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
    mail.smtp.auth="true"
    mail.smtp.host="your smtp server"
    mail.smtp.user="<username>"
    password="<password>"
    mail.port="25"
    mail.debug="true"/>
