Configuring the SMTP Server

Configuring the SMTP server enables email communication to be sent from CloudSoda. For your convenience, the SMTP server is already configured and all emails will be sent from the no-reply@cloudsoda.io address. If you want to change the SMTP settings to enable email to be sent from your own server, use this procedure to change the SMTP server configuration.

1. Click Orchestration > Administration in the left-hand navigation panel.
   The Administration page displays and defaults to the SMTP tab, showing the default server settings.
   
   
2. Click Edit and update the configuration settings as needed.
   
   
3. To change the Authentication settings, click Change Credentials and enter the updated settings.
   
   
4. Enter new user credentials or, alternatively, to disable authentication, toggle the None setting.
   
   
5. Click Confirm. 
   
   
6. Click Save. 
   
   The updated SMTP server settings are saved.
   
   
7. Click Send Test.
   
   CloudSoda sends a test notification to the email address associated with your account profile.
   
   
8. Confirm that you received the email and that the SMTP server settings are valid. If you do not receive the test notification, repeat this procedure.

The SMTP server configuration is complete.
