To configure Email settings:
- From the top right corner of any page, click
. The System Settings page opens.
- In the Categories/Subcategories pane of the System Settings page, expand External Integrations, and select Email.
Send emails (required, default: switched off) - Toggle on to use an Email server. A configured Email server is a prerequisite before you can configure an email notification as part of a configured Enforcement Set or configuring a report to be sent via mail.
- Define the Email host name and Port.
- SMTP Authentication Type - Select the SMTP Authentication type, either Password Authentication, or OAuth2 Authentication.
Password Authentication
When you choose Password Authentication, you can configure a User name and Password (optional).
OAuth2 Authentication
When you choose OAuth2 Authentication, set the following:
- OAuth authentication email - The email for which the OAuth token was created.
- OAuth client ID - Standard OAuth parameter
- OAuth client secret - Standard OAuth parameter
- OAuth refresh token - The derived value of creating active tokens from Client ID and Secret ID (procedure is standard)
- OAuth URL - The URL to authenticate with and which generates the Access tokens, for example:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
Microsoft Azure AD Permissions
You need to grant the following permissions
General Email Configuration
- Use SSL for connection - Configure the connection to be Unencrypted, Verified, or Unverified.
- When you select the Verified or Unverified options, you need to provide the SSL CA file, Certificate file, and Private key file.
- When you select the Unencrypted option, the system attempts using TLS when sending emails (the default; no TLS configuration required). If TLS fails and the connection is active (if lost, the system first reestablishes the connection), the system proceeds to send emails without TLS.
- Define the Sender address for all emails sent by Axonius. If empty, the sender address is 'system@axonius.com'.
- Compress email attachments (default, false) - Select this option to compress email attachments. This affects email attachments sent from reports and those sent as part of the Send email Enforcement Set action.
- When this feature is activated, email attachments are sent as one compressed attachment in zip format.
- When this feature is not activated, all email attachments are not compressed, and are sent as separate files.
Note:
If attachments are larger than 10 Megabytes, the system notifies you that the email is 'big' (as some systems have a limitation on the size of emails that they can handle).
