Setting Up Users for SMTP Server Authentication

You can configure the authentication such that either users authenticate as themselves or users authenticate via a shared user identity.

To set up SMTP authentication for users

  1. Create the needed actors and actor identity records on the service that you created for SMTP server authentication.

    • If you are not using a shared identity for authentication, then you must add identities for the service you created for all users. The identity credentials will consist of a user name and password.

    • If you are using a shared identity for authentication, then you must add only the shared identity record to the SMTP service. The identity credentials will consist of a user name and password.

  2. If you want users to authenticate using a shared identity, navigate to Start > Data > la > Business Classes > ConfigurationParameter or the Configuration Parameters form in the Landmark Administration Console, and create another configuration parameter with the following settings:

    Type

    Size

    Specify a length sufficient to accommodate the actor ID of the shared identity.

    Value
