Overview

There currently is not a method to update and test the system's SMTP configuration using the CMC GUI. You must use qshell to update the SMTP settings and then test the configuration using the OSMI menu. The procedures below describe how to update and test the settings.

Updating SMTP Settings

Viewing and Configuring SMTP Settings Via qshell:

 

1. Enter qshell:

# qshell

 

2. Create a connection to the database:

# In []: api=i.config.cloudApiConnection.find('main')
 

3. Get the cloud guid:

# In []: cloudguid=api.cloud.list()['result'][0]['cloudguid']
 

4. View the current SMTP IP address:

# In []: api.cloud.getObject(cloudguid).smtp.server
# Out[]: '10.60.4.162'

 

5. View the current SMTP login:

# In [] api.cloud.getObject(cloudguid).smtp.login

 

6. View the current SMTP password:

# In [] api.cloud.getObject(cloudguid).smtp.password

 

7. Set the new SMTP IP address (also login and password):

# In []: api.cloud.setSMTPConfiguration(cloudguid,'10.60.4.163','','')
# Out[]: {'jobguid': '753e527b-c977-43fb-9d2c-f0a95f57395b', 'result': None}
 

Notes: 

 

• The 3rd and 4th parameters are the credentials (login, password) for the SMTP server, if required.

• All quotes are single quotes.  Nothing in between if login and password are empty.

• A fully qualified name can be used in place of an IP address.

• Google SMTP servers require TLS port to be added.

In [1]: api.cloud.setSMTPConfiguration(cloudguid,'smtp.gmail.com:587','helpdesk@i3.com','Supp0rt1ng')

 

 

 

8. Exit qshell using the following command:

# exit()

Viewing SMTP Settings:

 

1. After the qshell commands are complete, use the following command to verify that the SMTP settings are updated in eventcfg.cfg:  

# cat /opt/qbase3/cfg/qconfig/eventcfg.cfg
