Enable SMTP Email Server Integration

The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta® platform can be integrated with an existing SMTP server for delivering emails to users of the platform. This configuration is necessary if the following features are enabled:

• Users are required to validate their email addresses after self-registration. Both of these options must be enabled. See Configure User Self-Registration.
• Users are permitted to reset their passwords. See Enable Self-Service Password Reset.

Limitations

Configure

To enable, please complete the following.

Steps:

1. You can apply this change through the Admin Settings Page (recommended) or trifacta-conf.json. For more information, see Platform Configuration Methods.

2. Edit the SMTP settings:

   "smtp.host": "<SMTP_HOST>",
   "smtp.port": "587"
   "smtp.username": "<EMAIL_ACCT_USERNAME>",
   "smtp.password": "<EMAIL_ACCT_PWD>",
   "smtp.enableSSL": true

   Setting	Description
   host	Hostname of the SMTP server
   port	Port number to use to contact the SMTP server. 587 is the default value.
   username	Username of the email account to use to send emails to users. NOTE: This username appears in the email message.
   password	Password of the email account to use.
   enableSSL	Set to true, if the SMTP server is configured to use SSL. Default is true . NOTE: When SSL is enabled for the email server, its certificate cannot be self-signed.

3. Save your changes and restart the platform.

Test

If it's been enabled, you can reset user password. See Enable Self-Service Password Reset.

If not, you can use an external testing method to verify that the SMTP server is working properly.
