Fresh install using the .bin/setup wizard on SLES11 SP2. I am testing a few things and 1 is invites. I enter an external user and alfresco appears to send the invite (without error) but the user never gets the invite. I have followed http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Outbound_E-mail_Configuration (port 587) and restarted alfresco but still, invite not received. How do you config alfresco to send external invites?
OK, i was entering the SMTP config in the global.properties file. Found the OutboundSMTP file and now invites are being received. However, the link to click on contains 127.0.0.1/xxxx/xxxxx and that will not work. So, i copy the link and put http://ip.of.srvr./xxx/xxxxx in place of 127.0.0.1 and that results in the alfresco login page. How are you suppose to login when you do not have a username and password?
EDIT I clearly did not finish reading the invite email as it contains the username and password! /EDIT
