GateIn Portal 3.7 includes an email sending service that needs to be configured before it can function properly. This service, for instance, is used to send emails to users who forgot their password or username.
The email service can use any SMTP account configured in:
For JBoss: $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/gatein/configuration.properties
For Tomcat: $TOMCAT_HOME/gatein/conf/configuration.properties
The relevant section looks like:
# EMail gatein.email.smtp.username= gatein.email.smtp.password= gatein.email.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com gatein.email.smtp.port=465 gatein.email.smtp.starttls.enable=true gatein.email.smtp.auth=true gatein.email.smtp.socketFactory.port=465 gatein.email.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
It is preconfigured for GMail, so that any GMail account can easily be used. Simply insert your password and full GMail address.
In corporate environments, if you want to use your corporate SMTP gateway over SSL, like in the default configuration, configure a certificate truststore containing your SMTP server's public certificate. Depending on the key sizes, you may then also need to install Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for your Java Runtime Environment.
