Authenticating the SMTP

Server

The MegaRAID Storage Manager software supports a SMTP authentication mechanism
called Login. This feature provides an extra level of security, while sending an email
from the MegaRAID Storage Manager server.

To enter or modify the SMTP server authentication information, perform the following
steps:

1. On the Configure Alerts window, click the Mail Server tab.

The Mail Server options appear, as shown in

Figure 251

.

2. If on your SMTP server, the authentication mechanism is enabled and if you want to

enable this feature on the MegaRAID Storage Manager software, then you need to
select the This Server requires authentication check box and enter the
authentication details in the corresponding fields (User name and Password).

If you do not want to enable this feature on the MegaRAID Storage Manager
software or if you know that your SMTP server does not support the Login
mechanism, then de-select the This Server requires authentication check box.

NOTE: The This Server requires authentication check box is selected by default.

3. Enter a user name in the User name field. (Optional - if This Server requires

authentication check box is selected).

4. Enter the password in the Password field. (Optional - if This Server requires

authentication check box is selected).

5. Click OK.
