Configuring an SMTP server to manage email notifications

Before you can receive email notifications about events that occur in HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub), you need to configure an existing Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server in Test Hub. Once configured, email notifications are sent to the registered users if they are subscribed to email notifications whenever events occur in Test Hub.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a role as a Team Space Owner in the team space. See Managing members and their roles in a team space.
Ensured that an existing SMTP server is available to be connected to Test Hub.

About this task

The configuration works for emails that are supported by the SMTP server. To use this capability, you must enable Test Hub to connect to the SMTP server to send email notifications.

As a server administrator, you can configure email notifications so that other users can receive information about actions on the server projects.

Procedure

Log in to Test Hub.

The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
Click the Server administration page icon from the menu bar.

The Global Settings page is displayed.
Click Add Configuration.
Provide the following details to configure the SMTP server:
- A name to the configuration.
- The hostname and port number of the SMTP server.
  Note: The default configuration uses a local SMTP server that listens to the default port 25. This SMTP server does not require any authentication.
- The email address of the sender. The email address is displayed in email notifications. The email notifications are sent to the users based on the notification settings.
- The encryption type for secure communications is when the SMTP server is on an external network. You can enable either STARTTLS or SSL/TLS.
  Note: The SMTP server for the secure communication listens to the default port 465.
- Login credentials are required if the SMTP server requires authentication.
Click Add.

Note: The SMTP configuration is added after a valid connection is established with the SMTP server.

Results

You configured an SMTP server to connect with Test Hub and send out email notifications about the server events to users who have subscribed to email notifications.

What to do next

You can modify the default subscriptions for the email notifications, see Managing email notifications.
