Configuring SMTP Settings

SMTP email credentials are configured in the Web.config.

Note
It's also possible to configure SMTP settings through the Cartella application itself by navigating to Settings > Configuration Management > Email. See Email Management.
To set SMTP for your Cartella site:
  1. Open the Web.config file in an editor.
  2. Depending on your Web.config setup, complete one of the following steps:
    • If Web.config does not already have an <smtp> codeblock that contains <network>:
      1. In <configuration>, add the following nested elements to Web.config:
        system.net Element
        <system.net>
   <mailSettings>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>
      2. In <mailSettings>, add <smtp> using the example <smtp> codeblock below.
      3. Navigate to the new <network> element.
    • If Web.config has an <smtp> codeblock that contains <network>, navigate to Configuration/System.net/mailSettings/smtp/network.
    SMTP Element
    <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="Cartella Notices&lt;smtpUserName@yourdomain.edu&gt;">
    
    <network defaultCredentials="false"
        
        host="mail.yourdomain.edu"
        
        userName="smtpUserName"
        
        password="smtpUserNamePassword"
        
        port="25"/>
</smtp>
  3. Set the value of @defaultCredentials to either true or false.
    • true indicates that Windows credentials are used.
    • false indicates that Cartella uses @userName and @password attribute values of the <network> node as credentials.
  4. Provide the rest of the <network> values for your organization.
  5. Save Web.config.
