  • For configurations with Enable SMTP Authentication enabled, you have the user name and password of an email account on the SMTP Server.

  • For configurations with Enable SMTP Secure Connection (SSL/TLS) enabled, SSL/TLS is enabled on the server.

  4. To send AlertMail messages over a secure connection, enable the Enable SMTP Secure Connection (SSL/TLS) option.
