Sonatype CLM Server - Installation And Configuration

3.5. Email Configuration

The Sonatype CLM Server can be configured to send email notifications for events such as policy violation notifications. This functionality requires an SMTP server, which is configured along with a number of other options in the mail section of the config.yml file displayed in Mail Configuration in config.yml.

Mail Configuration in config.yml. Here’s an example configuration:

mail:
    hostname: your.mailserver.com
    port: 465
    username: user@company.com
    password: password
    tls: true
    ssl: true
    systemEmail: "SonatypeCLM@localhost"

The connection details are established with hostname and port and optionally with the addition of username, password, tls and ssl. The systemEmail parameter will be used as the sender email for any emails the CLM server sends. All fields are required.

Finally, when setting email configuration, make sure you have also set the Base URL, otherwise sending of notification emails may fail.
