Email Delivery Settings

AD Connect Sync Plus Portal employs SMTP settings of a mail server to send event notifications through email.

To configure email delivery settings, click Email Delivery Settings. 

  • SMTP Server: It is the SMTP address of the mail server.
  • SMTP Port: Provide the port of the SMTP server. This usually is 25.
  • Use SSL/TLS: Select this check box if you want to send emails securely. Mails sent over an SSL connection are encrypted and impossible to read in transit. AD Connect Sync Plus Portal also supports TLS, which is simply an updated, more secure, version of SSL.
  • From Email Address: This is the address from which the recipients will receive emails.
  • SMTP Auth: This option, if selected requires the mail server to authenticate emails. The user specified for sending emails has to identify itself and after successful authentication emails are transmitted.
  • Username: The Username of the specified user that must identify itself.
  • Password: Password of the specified user that must identify itself.
  • Send Test Email: You can also test your email delivery settings. Test mail can be sent to make sure that the emails are being delivered.
  • To Email Address: Specify the recipient for the test email.

SMS Delivery Settings

To configure SMS delivery settings, click SMS Delivery Settings.

  • API URL: This URL will point towards the server where your SMS API is placed and is performing its functions from.
  • Auth Token: This is an authentication token for the SMS API. Without the authentication token, the API cannot perform its functions as intended.

Sent/Unsent Emails

While sent emails are emails that have been delivered to the recipients, unsent emails are a list of all those emails which are sent but not delivered to the recipients yet. To modify settings related to sent and unsent email, click Notifications >> Sent/Unsent Emails.
