The available settings for ION Connect in the Properties tab are described in this topic.

E-mail Settings

Property Description
SMTP Host This is required regardless of your email servers and authentication methods. The address of the SMTP host that is used for sending emails from ION.

Emails are sent by the error reporting feature; see Exception handling.

If you use Activities, then emails can also be sent for tasks, alerts, and notifications. The default value is specified during the ION installation.
Port This is required regardless of your email servers and authentication methods. The mail server port for sending emails. The default value is 25.
Username

This is the username for the account at the mail host for sending emails.

This field is relevant when sending emails that are based on username and password authentication. If a username is specified then the SMTP server is requested to use this credential when sending an email. Internally a secure connection is made by enabling the java mail property mail.smtp.starttls.enable to true. When the Username field is left blank, the password field is ignored. No authentication is used to send email through the SMTP server.

The default is blank.

For Microsoft email servers with OAuth2, only the username is needed for identity verification. The password can be empty.
Password

The password for the account at the mail host for sending emails. The value in this field is considered by ION only if a username is specified. Otherwise it is ignored and no authentication is used.

Password can be ignored if you are using Microsoft's email servers with OAuth2 authentication.
From Address The sender email address to be used for sending emails from ION. If a username is specified, then this field is required and its value must match the actual email address of the specified username. The default value is specified during the ION installation.
Use OAuth2 OAuth2 is the supported authentication protocol by Microsoft's email servers. If your company uses Microsoft servers for email management and you want to enable ION to send notifications on behalf of your company via these servers, you must enable OAuth2 authentication in your ION email settings by selecting this check box. Note that ION uses your other OAuth 2 properties (such as Client Id, secret, and so on) for authentication only when the Use OAuth2 check box is selected.
OAuth2 Client ID This identifier is required for OAuth2 authentication. The client ID acts as a public identifier for ION within Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). It must be included in token requests to the Microsoft identity platform, along with the client secret and tenant ID, to authenticate ION when making requests to Microsoft Exchange Web Service. To register the ION application in Azure AD or to retrieve an existing client ID, go to Azure AD and select App registrations.
OAuth2 Client Secret This is required for OAuth2 authentication. It acts like a password for ION. It works with the client ID and tenant ID to get an access token from the Microsoft identity platform. Request a client secret during the app registration in Azure AD, or if you need a new one, go to Azure AD and select App registrations.
OAuth2 Tenant This is required for OAuth2 authentication. The tenant ID serves to identify the Azure AD directory associated with the application. You can obtain the tenant ID during the ION registration process in Azure AD or locate it under App registrations in Azure AD if the application has already been registered.
OAuth2 Scopes This is required for OAuth2 authentication. Scopes are permission strings that define what ION can do with the access token. They are included in the scope parameter of the token request. The default value is https://outlook.office365.com/.default. You can change it to values such as https://outlook.office365.com/Mail.Send. Note that ION can only send emails if it has been granted application-level permissions (not Delegated) in Azure AD.

BOD Storage Engine

Property Description
BOD Storage en- abled If this option is enabled, then all messages that are processed by ION are stored and their content can be viewed from ION OneView. The default value is False.

Adapter Defaults

Property Description
Default Log Level The default log level that is used for newly activated connection points.

For details on logging and log levels, see Logging settings.

Activities engine

Property Description
Polling Interval The interval, in seconds, between two checks for escalations, reminders or delegations. If this interval is smaller, then escalations, reminders and delegations are identified earlier. If this interval is larger, then the load is reduced on the system.
Send E-mail This property indicates whether emails must be sent, for example if a task or alert is created.
Auto Assign Activities This property indicates whether alerts and tasks are automatically assigned to the user if there is only one user in the distribution list. The default value is False.

When this property is set to True an email is sent to the user, for the assignment event.
No Assignment if Out of Office This property indicates that Infor Ming.le users cannot assign a task or alert to a user who uses the Out of office reply. Switch this property on, to avoid assigning items to a user who is out of the office. Switch this property off, to allow assigning items to a user who is out of the office. The user can handle the item on return. The default status is False.
Restrict Out of Office Feature in Inbox This property indicates whether the Out of Office configuration page is available in Infor Inbox. The check box is selected by default. Users who have the MingleIONEnabled security role can use the Out of Office user interface. They can define delegation rules and turn the out of office status to ON or OFF. If you clear the check box, then all users can use the Out of Office delegation functionality.

Event Management engine

Property Description
Logging triggers The switch to log triggers data. The property flag enables or disables logging triggers data. The setting can be True or False. If the Logging triggers is set to False, then logging of triggers is disabled. A notification is displayed above the triggers list on the Show Triggers page.
