The Configuration tab has the following fields.

The name to appear as the label for the activity in the process definition.

Description

Short description of the activity.

Host

Yes

Host name for the SMTP server.

The default port (25) is used to connect to the SMTP server. If your server is configured to use a different port, you can specify it in this field using the syntax:

<hostName>:<portNumber>

For example, myMailServer.myCo.com:37

SSL

No

The Use SSL check box specifies that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) should be used to specify a client SSL configuration. When this field is checked, the Configure SSL button is enabled.

Authenticate

No

Specifies whether you want to authenticate to the mail server. When selected, the Authentication Type field appears.

Note: The mail server must be configured to require authentication for sending mail. If the mail server is not configured to require authentication, the Authentication Type field is ignored.

Authentication Type

No

Two types of authentication are supported: OAuth 2.0 and Basic Authentication.

If you select Basic Authentication, then the User Name and Password fields appear.

If you select OAuth 2.0, then the User Name and Access Token Value fields appear.

Note: You can obtain the field information for Access Token Value, User Name, and Password from a Service Provider.

User Name

Yes

User name to use when authenticating to the mail server.

Password

Yes

Password to use when authenticating to the mail server. Passwords entered in this field are encrypted when stored in the project.

Access Token Value

The value authorized by the authorization server’s token endpoint.

Upgrade Configuration

No

This field only appears in Mail palette resources placed into process definitions prior to release 5.2.0. In previous releases, attachments were lists in the input of the activity. In release 5.2.0 or later, a new schema is used to handle MIME attachments.

If you have a Mail palette resource created prior to release 5.2.0, this field should be unchecked to maintain backward compatibility. This field does not appear for new resources created in release 5.2.0 or later. Unchecking this field disables the Input Headers tab and changes the input schema.
