The Stages e-mail notification service informs Stages users about Process Release tasks. A Stages administrator gets informed about the result of regular background tasks like the CMS prefetch.
Before using this notification service, a few configuration parameters must be set in the $STAGES_CONF/config.xml configuration file.
Example: (STARTTLS)
<notification>
<!-- URL of Stages server -->
<serverurl>https://${general.external.hostname}/stages</serverurl>
<!-- hostname of SMTP server where e-mail can be delivered -->
<mailserver>mail.example.com</mailserver>
<!-- server port; optional; default: 25 -->
<mailserverport>587</mailserverport>
<!-- use STARTTLS; optional; default: false -->
<mailserverusestarttls>true</mailserverusestarttls>
<!-- address that should be used as the "Reply-To:" header -->
<replyto>noreply@yourdomain.com</replyto>
<!--address that should be used as the "From:" header -->
<sender>Stages Notification Service <noreply@yourdomain.com></sender>
</notification>
Example: (SMTPS)
<notification>
<!-- URL of Stages server -->
<serverurl>https://${general.external.hostname}/stages</serverurl>
<!-- hostname of SMTP server where e-mail can be delivered -->
<mailserver>mail.example.com</mailserver>
<!-- server port; optional; default: 25 -->
<mailserverport>465</mailserverport>
<!-- use smtps (SSL); optional; default: smtp -->
<mailserverprotocol>smtps</mailserverprotocol>
<!-- address that should be used as the "Reply-To:" header -->
<replyto>noreply@yourdomain.com</replyto>
<!--address that should be used as the "From:" header -->
<sender>Stages Notification Service <noreply@yourdomain.com></sender>
</notification>
If the specified notification e-mail server requires user authentication, additional tags have to be inserted.
The following example describes such an authentication configuration:
<!—- username that should be used for authentication -->
<mailuser>${mailserver.username}</mailuser>
<!—- password to authenticate mailuser -->
<mailpassword>${mailserver.password}</mailpassword>
<!—- name of the SASL realm -->
<saslrealm>SASL.YOURDOMAIN.COM</saslrealm>
$STAGES_CONF/secret.properties
mailserver.username = John Doe mailserver.password = secret
