Configure the Stages Server

E-mail Notifications

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 <STAGESHOME>/conf/config.xml configuration file.

Example: (STARTTLS)

<notification>
 <!-- URL of Stages server -->
 <serverurl>https://stages.example.com/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>
