Dear,
Thanks for the reply!

I already configured as per the KB and confirmed the mail working status with "check mail" from "Utilities".
But the user mail notification is not working when subscribed for document.

Do any configurations need to be changed/applied other than below,

Settings which applied:
Server.xml

Code: Select all

<Resource name="mail/OpenKM" type="javax.mail.Session"
    mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
    mail.smtp.auth="true"
    mail.smtp.host="your smtp server"
    mail.smtp.user="<username>"
    password="<password>"
    mail.port="25"
    mail.debug="true"/>

Openkm.cfg

Code: Select all

application.url=http://localhost:8080/OpenKM/frontend/index.jsp

jbpm.cfg

Code: Select all

<jbpm-configuration>

  <!-- 
    The default configurations can be found in org/jbpm/default.jbpm.cfg.xml 
    Those configurations can be overwritten by putting this file called 
    jbpm.cfg.xml on the root of the classpath and put in the customized values.

  <jbpm-context>
    <service name="authentication" factory="org.jbpm.security.authentication.DefaultAuthenticationServiceFactory" />

  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.user" value="noreply@xxxx.com" />
  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.pwd" value="Password of noreply" />
  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.pass" value="Password of noreply" />
  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.password" value="Password of noreply" />
  <string name="jbpm.mail.smtp.auth" value="true" />

  -->
    
  <bean name="jbpm.mail.address.resolver" class="com.openkm.workflow.AddressResolver" singleton="true"/>
  
</jbpm-configuration>

Thank you.

The bpm.cfg has no relation with user mail notification. Take a look at log when document is modified, ensure the user who has been subscribed it has mail address well done configured at Administration / Users. Finally take in mind the user who make the change will not receive the subscription notification ( it's a feature, you will not receive any notification from your own modifications ).

[ahussain]

could you please provide the file name/path on which the configuration change need to be performed?

[jllort]

You only need to change:
conf/server.xml ( read here http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Tomcat ... figuration )

Code: Select all

<Resource name="mail/OpenKM" type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.host="your smtp server"
mail.smtp.user="<username>"
password="<password>"
mail.port="25"
mail.debug="true"/>

With this change you got mail poll configured, you do not need anything else.

Do you mean that I need to type my password and username here?

I tried to leave it as <username> and <password>, but it gives me an exception saying it contains invalid characters.

[jllort]

Take in mind you are into xml, for example if you use in the password the character & you must protect it ( escape ) from XML point of view and replace by &

Look at google for "XML escape characters"

Hello
I had configuration the email success for smtp protocol .
But how to configuration the Exchange protocol ?

Thanks

[jllort]

Seems JavaMail library does not support MAPI and seems are no plan for support in future https://javaee.github.io/javamail/FAQ#otherprovs. MAPI is the proprietary Exchange Protocol ( I do not know why Microsoft always must reinvent the wheel ? )

Here, seems there's some information about OpenMAPI https://stackoverflow.com/questions/175 ... s-required ( but last version was on 2010 ... seems no much future for it ).

If you succeed on getting it working with tomcat, notice us, we'll be pleased to improve the current configurations.
