Configure Email Notification Properties

Open the CA Identity Minder Management Console to configure email notification properties in your environments.

Note: For more information about environments, see the CA Identity Minder Management Console Online Help, which is available from the console.

Important! Changes you make to the environment may affect the stability of CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management. For assistance, contact CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Environments. Click the environment that you want to configure, then click Advanced Settings, E-mail.

   The E-mail Properties window appears.

2. Configure the applicable options for your enterprise, as follows:

   Events e-mail Enabled

   Enables email notifications for CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management events, including SAM events.

   Tasks e-mail Enabled

   Enables email notifications for CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management tasks. We recommend that you do not enable email notifications for tasks, because CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management does not provide email templates for tasks.

   Template Directory

   Specifies the location of the email templates that CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management uses to create the email messages. Set this value to "default".

   Note: The email templates are located in the following directory:

   JBoss_HOME/server/default/deploy/IdentityMinder.ear/custom/emailTemplates/default/
   

3. Specify the events for which you want email notifications to be sent.

   We recommend that you specify only SAM events for which email templates are provided. Do the following:

   1. Select the check box next to every event, except for the following SAM events:
      • CreatePrivilegedAccountExceptionNotStartedEvent
      • CreatePrivilegedAccountExceptionEvent
      • BreakGlassCheckOutAccountEvent
      • CheckOutAccountPasswordEvent
   2. Click Delete.

      All but the SAM events are deleted. You have configured CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management to send email notifications for these SAM events.

4. Click Save.

   The email notification properties are saved, and you return to the Environment Properties window.

5. Click Restart.

   The CA Identity Minder Management Console restarts the environment and applies your changes.

Note: For more information about email notifications, see the Enterprise Administration Guide.
