E-mail Notifications

[testsubjec]

Hi,
I am currently running Alfresco Community 4.2.c x64 on a Windows 2008 Ent R2 Server.

So far I have got just about everything covered, however I am having problems with E-mail Notifications. I have setup my

alfresco-global.properties‍

accordingly:

### Outbound Email Configuration ###
mail.host=X.X.X.X
mail.port=25
mail.username=XXXXX
mail.password=XXXXX
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=Alfresco@XXXXXXX.com
mail.smtp.auth=true

notification.email.siteinvite=true

### SEND TEST MESSAGE ###
mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.testmessage.to=XXXXX@XXXXX.com
mail.testmessage.subject=Outbound SMTP Test
mail.testmessage.text=The Outbound SMTP email subsystem is working. 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

However when an Admin comes to Create a New User they do not receive the New User notification. Just to note I receive the Test Message no problems.

Also it would be very helpful if someone could let me know what notifications would be sent out to the user.

Thanks

Hi,
Alfresco will not send any email notifications whenever a new user is created.

muralidharand, Why is this, because there is an e-mail template for new users.

[muralidharand]

When you invite a new user for a site , then  the new user email template will be used.
http://localhost:8080/share/page/site/mysite/invite - Use invite to external user option.

If use http://localhost:8080/share/page/console/admin-console/users#state=panel%3Dcreate, then it will not send any email notification to the user and by default it is disabled. If you've source code, then look at , PersonSerivceImpl.java file.

Thank you for clarification on this and it has helped.

Just on another note, when I use the "Invite to external user option" is there anyway to change the system to use a "." instead of "_" in the username when setting it up??

[mrogers]

yes.     change the "name pattern" for the user name generator.   You will need to do it through a spring over-ride of the nameBasedUserNameGenerator bean.

Could you explain how I would do this??
